Welcome!
With over 30 years of teaching private piano lessons, our in-person lessons will be positive, encouraging, productive and imaginative! My teaching approach is traditional as I am classically trained. I teach all levels to all ages. My youngest is currently 4 years of age and my oldest is 95. Special needs students are always welcome.
Love to Practice
Once the student is able to read music, I will find out what they love ❤️. They will practice what they love automatically. This includes Classical, Jazz, Blues, Broadway, New Age, Composition, and Singing while you play.
Shining Stars
We have three recitals where students will be able to showcase what they have learned. There is no better time to start your first lesson than now. You will be playing a song at your very first lesson!
Online Piano Lessons
Lessons are also available online via Zoom or FaceTime in the comfort of your own home. Minimal requirements include having a piano or keyboard, a computer or smartphone, and a reliable Internet connection.
Teaching Method
My comprehensive approach uses multi-key learning. Students learn basic rhythm patterns, intervals, chords, scales, and essential signs and terms. I’ll let you know what method books you will need.
Recitals & Performances
Recitals inspire students to practice more as they look forward to learning something that someone has played. We have three quarterly recitals for children. Each student will select two songs.

About Diane
Bringing the gift of music into my students life is my goal! Teaching piano and hearing my students say, “I love this song!”, “Can I play this for the next recital?”, “Can I play you a song I composed?”, “Can we do writing?”, “You’re the best piano teacher ever!” ………. just makes my day. I look forward to hearing from you.
