Reviews & Testimonials
I have had the pleasure of weekly lessons with Diane since 2010. I’ve made great progress with her patient teaching style, and we shifted seamlessly to FaceTime lessons earlier this year. Her progressive approach has been wonderful for me as a student.
My daughters (13 and 10) have been taking piano lessons with Ms. Diane for a few years now and they both really enjoy learning with her. She is firm but warm and gives them a nice mix of classical and more modern pieces. They look forward to participating in her recitals (especially the dress-up Halloween recital!) and their lessons have continued seamlessly via FaceTime during the shelter-in-place order.
We have to change to the online piano lessons due to COVID-19. In the beginning, we were not sure how it would work. After several lessons, we feel more comfortable with this new learning experience. The online lessons are good and effective.
My four children have taken piano lessons from Diane for 2.5 years. They were 4, 6, and 8 (twins) when they started. We appreciate that Diane comes to our home for lessons, and our dog loves her (she’s a big animal lover!). She is remarkably patient and is always smiling. Her feedback to the children is gentle and kind, yet firm and constructive. She hosts recitals throughout the year, which is fun for everyone. When Covid-19 hit she made a seamless transition into Zoom lessons. The children continue remote weekly lessons and I can hear them continuing to progress. I’m grateful that she knows how to utilize technology during this time of need.
I have been taking piano lessons from Diane for almost seven years now. She is a competent and patient teacher who is always pleasant, encouraging, and extremely flexible in scheduling. My two granddaughters have joined me in taking lessons from Diane. They find her “very clear in her directions” and “very friendly.” My enjoyment and ability to play has greatly increased due to Diane’s skill in choosing music that is progressively more difficult and infused with selections that match my taste in music. I highly recommend her as a teacher.
