I have two daughters who have taken lessons from Donna for nine and seven years respectively. They have both learned so much and had fun while doing it.
C.B.
Donna is kind and encouraging – which motivates them both to learn without stress and pressure, keeping piano fun.
We started off doing lessons at Donna’s house, later transitioning to her coming to our home, and for the past few years lessons have been remote.
All three experiences have been wonderful!
Donna is patient, flexible, and has been a blessing for our family. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s guided my children from beginners in piano to advanced.
Donna has been my piano teacher for nine years and I’ve loved every week of it. She is a very positive and encouraging teacher who never makes me feel bad about my playing. She has taught me everything I know about piano and helped me become a great sight reader. Donna lets me play whatever I want while still pushing me to play harder music. She does not pressure me to play music I don’t like or memorize any music.
L.P.
Because of her I love playing piano and it doesn’t feel like a chore. She is an amazing teacher who feels like a grandma to me.
Donna is a wonderful piano teacher! I learned how to read music as a child, but I believed that I’d never play both hands at once. Not true! Donna’s experience got me playing right away!
J.K.
We work on pieces that I choose, not boring drills. We started with simple pieces, and now I am playing ragtime and showtunes, even a tango. I play nearly every day for enjoyment and to reduce stress. It even helped me with grief.
If you’re an adult thinking of starting or returning to music, don’t wait any longer. You can do it!
