Heidi has been my private music teacher for more years than I can count on my fingers (14 years). Through all my phases, (elementary - university) she has supported me so much. I play the flute, and when I was first learning it took a while, but Heidi was kind and patient and let me have all the time in the world to learn. Heidi is kind and thoughtful, an attentive listener, and cares lots for the musical community. Her taste in music is phenomenal, and she cares deeply about collaboration and listening to what her students have to say. I have never given up because of Heidi, she's the best teacher I've ever had. Highly recommend! 10/10!

Pyllis has been teaching my kids for over 2 years, now ages 7 and 9. My 9 yo daughter made huge advancements in her skill compared to a previous teacher she had for a few months. Compared with their peers also taking piano elsewhere, they are certainly more advanced. Phyllis is kind a d patient but also definitely implements needed structure and feedback for kids to continuously improve. She will be my kids piano teacher as long as she is still teaching. Both my kids have read this review and stamped their agreement.

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.
