We are so glad that a friend recommended you to us. Our daughter was 10 years old when she started playing as opposed to some of your younger students. You made her feel comfortable instantly and she has taken to the piano very quickly.
I took piano lessons from Miss Valerie as a little boy and unfortunately, I quit. I am now 21 and have come back to study with Miss Valerie--this time with aspirations of majoring in music.
I was amazed at the duet themed recital last summer. You must have spent hours picking out the music for the students to play and matching them up with comparable players. The performances were all enjoyable to hear.
Thank you for your warmth and patience.
I came to Miss Valerie with a good background in music because I had played in high school band. However, I had not played piano for close to 40 years. I was especially impressed at how well she was able to gage my experience level so that I was constantly challenged, yet not overwhelmed. This is the mark of a true professional. Thank you.
