““Maria is one of the best educators and role models for young children that I have had the privilege of observing, and I count myself truly blessed to have my son taught by her.”

“Maria is a talented pianist and accompanist who has a gift for teaching. She uses her well trained ear not only to listen to how her students play but to hear what inspires them. I have watched how she asks questions and makes suggestions to help her students find and embrace their love of music. As a parent of a student, she helped guide my child through a phase of less interest in to self-motivated practice. She tailored technical development and repertoire selections to my child’s specific needs and interests, and set reasonable goals that required real work for my child to achieve. As a student myself, she has helped me build on my foundation and deepen my understanding of musical composition, spending countless hours patiently walking through sheet music. Working with Maria is a gift!”

“I feel happy learning piano with Ms. Maria. She can explain things that I don’t know in a very clear way. She also helps me to get focused. Ms. Maria makes learning how to play piano a fun thing to do.

“When I first began studying with Maria, I was an absolute beginner, and felt overwhelmed at how much lay ahead of me. She helped me to appreciate the journey of learning, and to celebrate the little victories along the way. She will challenge you and she will inspire you.”

“I have had a few piano teachers in my life and Maria is simply exceptional. She offers a good balance between technicality and musicality, provides clear feedback, and challenges me to become the best musician I can be. With two young children and a full-time job, there are times when I just do not have time to practice. Maria is always very understanding and able to structure our lesson constructively anyway. No matter where your skill level is, Maria will meet you where you are.”

“I like piano lessons because I really enjoy learning new songs! I especially like the lessons where Ms. Maria plays Harry Potter songs for me.”

“Ms. Maria makes learning piano so fun, it feels easy and never boring. ”
