Testimonials

  • "One word to describe Jane and the studio: harmonious."

    - Skylar, 18

  • "I have been taking lessons with Jane for many years. Online classes are awesome because I pick a time that works for me since I am not commuting to and from my lessons. I also appreciate the time Jane takes to find songs that I would enjoy playing as well as challenging my playing abilities."

    - Gam, 82

  • "I like piano because my teacher makes it enjoyable even when it’s hard."

    - Ruby, 14

  • "After nine years of learning with Jane, I’ve become so much better at playing piano and with music theory in general, even going on to compose my own pieces with the skills that I’ve learned."

    - Jacob, 15

  • "I like progressing and learning new things. It makes me proud of myself. Lessons are fun, and I like trying different skills and working on music with someone, not just myself."

    - Kevin, 13

  • "I feel very grateful to have this opportunity to learn music with Jane because of how organized and fun it is."

    - Josie, 15

  • "As a busy student, I don’t have a lot of free time. Jane has been wonderfully flexible and understanding with her lessons—in terms of both timing and expectations for practice. I truly love playing piano (for reasons not limited to it being a great method of procrastination on schoolwork!) thanks to Jane; she has fostered my ear, skill, and passion for music. She has helped turn piano practice from a chore into an activity I genuinely enjoy."

    - Rose, 17
