Hearing your child struggle to make progress is frustrating.
When piano lessons lack curiosity, joy, or goals, students might get “stuck” on a piece for weeks or months. Lack of progress dims enthusiasm and motivation.
My piano lessons will encourage your child to feel inspired by the beauty in every piece, set attainable weekly goals, and build a practice “toolkit” so they can take ownership of their piano playing! Every sign of growth in a student’s ability is reason to celebrate success.
I’d love to show you why my students take pride in their accomplishments and mastery!

It was lucky for my daughter to learn piano playing with Elizabeth for three years until we relocated. She is such a gentle yet passionate mentor that inspired my daughter to take the initiative and keep improving in music while having fun. She genuinely cares about her students and cheers for their success in both piano and life. Therefore I highly recommend her.

Elizabeth has the knack of making music fun without losing sight of her goals for each lesson. She seeks to stimulate students' powers of expression in response to the spirit of each piece, while continuing their development of fundamental skills and an appreciation of basic music theory. In two years, I have watched my two grandchildren progress from beginner status to a level of comfort and self-confidence at the keyboard that should inspire and enable them to continue the making of music as an enjoyable and important activity all their lives.
