Why Small Group Lessons for Beginners?

Students are introduced to the beauty of the piano in a dynamic, semi private setting! The capacity to create and love music elevates the human condition in a way that no other activity can match.
All children will be supported and challenged as individuals, along with all the benefits of learning with and from peers!  (Semi Private: 4 maximum)

TESTIMONIALS

““Dear Sarah, we all- students, parents and families so appreciate all you give of yourself musically and emotionally. We are very fortunate to have you in our community.”

What an incredible recital! I hope you are very proud. It was easy to see how you’ve impacted all of these kids. Brought me to tears.”

“Thank you so very much for being a great music teacher! It has been- and continues to be a joy to hear the progress in his studies and musicality. We appreciate all you have done for him. We hope he continues to play throughout his life. You’ve given him a solid foundation for that”

“My daughter recently expressed that she wanted to sing while playing the piano. We came up with some options, but nothing really age appropriate for a 4th grader. Then you recommended “When I Grow Up” from Matilda the musical. She got so into it that she took out the book from the library. This past Sunday we took her to see it on Broadway! There are not enough words to describe how it felt to watch her light up. As we walked to the train she said, “Mommy, I just love Ms. Sarah!” You truly inspired much more than anyone expected!”
