Ava has been taking piano lessons with Susanna for three years, continually progressing in piano technique and theory and gaining confidence in playing publicly. Susanna makes it fun and definitely keeps her interested. Ava absolutely loves her lessons and looks forward to every week.
— Aeli, parent of 8-year-old student
She’s really nice. She has fun games to help you learn. She laughs a lot.
— Theo, 8-year-old student
Susanna is a fantastic teacher! She has been able to keep my son motivated to learn piano, which is sometimes difficult with younger children. She has high expectations and focuses on technique; yet she never loses sight of his individual needs and personality.
— Christi, parent of 8-year-old student
I'm a self-taught pianist, finally taking lessons. I had reached a level where I was comfortable but not very good. With Susanna as my teacher, I now play more and enjoy it more, and I'm improving much faster than I could without her.
— Mary, adult student
She's a great teacher! She knows how to motivate me to keep improving my skills.
— Mikayla, 12-year-old student
Susanna is an excellent teacher with the perfect balance of patience, humor, and inspiration.
— Nikki, parent of 12-year-old student
