Words from My Clients
Carol has elevated their musical capabilities to a very large degree with her unorthodox teaching methods, which are very positive... She makes it fun.
Robbie White
I have seen Carol work with special needs children. She has so much patience and understanding. I have observed her take such a child and helped him bloom over the years from a shy, withdrawn, and silent student, to a child that is playing wonderful songs and is speaking nonstop. So rewarding to see this child shine when he is with Carol taking a lesson. I can go on and on but this is long enough to praise this wonderfully talented person. I am so very happy and lucky enough to be one of her students for the last 10 years.

[Carol] makes things so easy to understand... She makes things so much fun.
[Online lessons are/Zooming is] really convenient for me as a mom... [My son] Jared really enjoys it!
Carol is not only a fantastic and accomplished piano teacher, but a fabulous person as well. Her magical way of showing her students how to break down music to the simplest form makes learning so easy and amazing. A piano lesson from her makes learning easy, interesting, and fun. I have learned so much from her, I can't believe how much I accomplished in such a short time. I am now playing concert pieces that I never thought I would ever be able to do. Her talent as a professional concert pianist and composer, has enabled her to show and teach me various skills and tips many other teachers wouldn't know how to teach. She has taught me not only how to play classical, jazz, and contemporary pieces but plain fun Broadway piano pieces as well. Her background as a graduate of the world-renowned Julliard School of Music, contributes to her vast knowledge of interesting facts about many styles of music and famous classical composers. If you want, she can even teach you how to compose music too. I can go on and on, but this is long enough to praise this wonderfully talented person. I am so very happy and lucky to be one of her students for the last 10 years.

[Carol] is positive and encouraging. She's a fantastic teacher!
Within weeks, we heard beautiful full tones and real music coming out of the piano. We never had to ask anyone to practice; we had to urge them to give up the piano to other waiting children... It was brilliance at its finest.

[Carol] thinks out of the box... She brings the piano to life.
Carol has taught her life lessons that have been invaluable.
Skype lessons with Carol have been transformative for my family! My kids have stuck with the piano for six years because Carol made their lessons fun. They're in their teens now and plan to emphasize their piano experience to get into good colleges. I finally started taking lessons two years ago and now I revel in it. Yes, revel! My lessons aren't just about getting the notes right. They even go beyond the sophisticated techniques that Carol brings from her Juilliard education.
The big surprise for me is that I'm learning how to pull passion out of my piano. Pretty amazing, since I never had passion for music before. Carol tells me that soon I'll be writing music myself, and I can see it happening!
