Everything You Need to Feel Confident
Choosing a piano teacher for your child is a real decision. Here's what most parents want to know before they reach out — and what you can expect once your child starts lessons with me.

Short, regular practice is a good starting point. We’ll discuss a manageable routine—often 15–20 minutes for beginners—and adjust it for your child.
Progress & Recitals
We work on reading, rhythm, technique, and confidence at your child’s pace. Performance opportunities can be discussed when your child is ready.

Testimonials
Student & Parent Feedback
“Elizabeth worked with my Special Needs son on learning about music and how to play the piano. She brought knowledge, creativity, kindness, acceptance and fun to the lessons. She is highly skilled musically in her own right and this doesn't always transfer to good teaching. In her case, it definitely does. She approached lessons thoughtfully and she was always well prepared. Most importantly, she treated my son with respect and encouragement. I highly recommend Elizabeth as a teacher.”
