Bonnie is an excellent and professional teacher. My kids have had two lessons with her so far and even my most musically reluctant one is enjoying it a lot. Bonnie is on time and cheerful and makes the lesson experience fun for my kids. So far very happy. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Set up free, no-obligation meet and greet to see if we’re a good match. Set up weekly lesson time, order lesson books, set student goals. Start making music!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I began playing the piano at age 4, continued through college with a minor in music. Classically trained, I participated in concerts and competitions throughout my years of taking lessons in California. Strong emphasis on music theory and performance skills. New passion is in composition and helping students find their inner creator. I started teaching piano at age 12.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I come to you for lessons. Weekly thirty minute lessons are $30.
How did you get started teaching?
When I was 12 years old, my mom said, ‘here’s a family with children who want to learn the piano. You learn best when you teach others. They are within walking distance. They are willing to pay $2/lesson. Good luck!’ :)
What types of students have you worked with?
I’ve worked with ages 2-82; beginners, intermediate, and advanced. The ones I feel unqualified to teach are college level students. All others I love working with!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Local benefits concert for Operation Underground Railroad. Playing what I call intuitive music, and sharing some of my own journey of trauma healing.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Be prepared for your life to change! Internally and externally. In happy and challenging ways.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Why do you want to learn to play the piano. A strong Why will help you get through the tough daily challenges. What do you want to accomplish. Keeping your goals at the forefront gives direction and momentum to reach them.
