I studied classical piano for 10 years and have a minor in music from Carroll University. I studied piano & music theory with Ray Santisi. Ray was an instructor at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. I played piano in the Lobby Bar of the Pfister Hotel for over 25 years. In 2020, the Pfister cut back on their entertainment due to the Covid. I have also played for Royal Caribbean Ships and other cruise lines. I only teach 1-hour lessons. However, the lessons can be EVERY WEEK OR EVERY OTHER WEEK. I only teach students that are 18 or older. My schedule is quite flexible as day of the week and time of day. The instructional series I use are

His application of Italian bel-canto principles, as well as his natural exercises of the hands and wrists, has broadened my technique in indescribable ways.

Have been teaching for 25 years. Degree is on Music Therapy but found my true place was in teaching. I enjoy beginners of all ages and enjoy watching each student progress over time. I have 2 recitals per year and enter students in a regional festival of music and then a state wide competition for those that receive the highest score. Also enjoy playing duets with my students as well as continuing lessons for myself. I enjoy watching students get hooked on music "for life ".I take a casual approach but can. Be firm when needed. It's never boring. Every student is different and I enjoy the challenge of figuring out a different way to explain c...

I aim to connect with people and push them to express themselves through music. Piano lessons with me allow you to explore your intererests past reading notes and rhythms. Student learning is reinforced through flaschcards, puzzles, and recorded videos to assist with practice outside of lessons. Connecting with people in a one-on-one hands-on setting is my greatest joy from music. Music can bring out many emotions that can make you feel happy, sad, energized, or relieved. These emotions can relieve stress, improve mood, and provide an escape when everything seems to go wrong....

Piano lessons are available for all ages in most cities in the country. Music instructors teach:

  • Music theory
  • Sight-reading
  • Improvisation
  • How to improve playing or technique

At what age should you start piano lessons?

The best age to start piano lessons is 5 to 9 years, though learning how to play the piano doesn't have an age limit. Playing the piano strengthens fine motor skills, increases flexibility, and improves your memory no matter how old you are.

Are piano lessons worth it?

Piano lessons are worth the money and effort invested over time. Playing an instrument can be beneficial for mental health, and cognitive strength. For smaller budgets, book just a few lessons to get the basics down and continue on your own.

How long are piano lessons?

Piano lessons for beginners or children are typically 30 to 45 minutes per session. Intermediate or advanced lessons are 45 to 60+ minutes per session. Most people have 1 to 2 lessons per week.

Ms. Jennifer did a wonderful job with my two daughters, ages 8 and 7. In the short few months they had with Jennifer I feel they had amazing progress. Additionally she is very accommodating to any concerns we may have brought to her. She always keeps us up to date on their progress and what they need to focus on. I would have continued to keep my girls with her for the long term but sadly we are moving out of state. I would highly recommend her!
