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 have been a piano instructor for over 30 years (28 in the Bay Area). I am classically trained, but I teach all types of music all levels and all ages. Currently my youngest student is 4 years of age and my oldest is 95.
I studied for 10 years with Alletta Kovachik , M.M., New England Conservatory of Music.
I currently study with Gregory Taboloff, San Ramon, CA, M.M. Peabody Conservatory (1997-current).
