Ray H.

I had always wanted to learn piano and I wanted to have something that my kids and I could learn together. I needed someone who was going to be good with both adults and kids and Rachel fit that perfectly. Rachel helped me by being so patient and encouraging. She made the learning process really fun but always challenged us to try to push ourselves in our learning. Her encouragement helped us want to practice in between lessons and we looked forward to her visits. She helped grow our love of learning music instead of making it feel like a chore. We were always excited to learn new songs and new lessons. My kids were very comfortable learning from Rachel. When they were struggling or made mistakes, her encouragement helped them to push through and make great improvements. I would highly recommend Rachel as a piano instructor to people who want someone to foster an enjoyment of music and instill artistry in their lives. ~ Diana Milligan

Wise teacher, inspiring pianist, sparkling personality: I enjoy every minute of my lessons with Geisa Dutra! She watches me like a hawk to guide how I can use my hands and my body to get rich sounds without strain or injury, which is especially important to me as one who began playing piano quite late in life. Working with Geisa makes me want to practice more! I am able to learn new music more efficiently with the insights she shares, and it's a joy to find myself approaching difficult (for me!) material with increasing confidence. I feel very lucky that she is my teacher.

I have been taking piano lessons with Angela for about 8 years and I am now in 8th grade. Angela is an amazing piano teacher and has inspired me from the very first lesson to enjoy learning how to play the piano and to understand the world of music. She respects her students’ interests, such as what kind of music they are interested in playing, and encourages all of her students to accomplish their goals and to share their music with those around them. Angela’s piano lessons have not only helped me to become the pianist that I now am, but have also taught me to appreciate music. The lessons have allowed me to quickly learn how to play other instruments such as the ukulele and violin, due to having studied music in so much depth, to include theory and technique. I would definitely recommend Angela to anyone interested in learning how to play the piano.
