PIANO LESSONS

Students learn ear training by singing and playing piano together.

Students are exposed to different genres of music and they get to explore areas of study such as songwriting, music reading, improvising, composing, ear training, singing and applied theory/technique.

Max started taking piano lessons from Mary a year ago and he absolutely loves the lessons and looks forward to them every week. She will meet your child where they are and take them on a journey of learning that’s perfect for them. Mary tailors lessons to what the student needs and her love of music is infectious.

I’m an adult piano student who started taking lessons from Mary recently.  She  understands how to create an atmosphere in the lessons that makes you feel comfortable, by being encouraging and supportive. She also listens to what you want out of your piano lessons and adapts  accordingly.  I have found joy in music from taking piano lessons with Mary. I look forward to having  many more lessons with her.
