Meet the Teacher
Offering a supportive, encouraging environment for every student.
Hi, I’m Lisa — a piano teacher dedicated to helping students grow in skill, confidence, and musicianship. My approach blends clear instruction, positive encouragement, and a structured path that helps each child succeed at their own pace.
With over a decade of experience teaching students of all ages, I’ve seen first hand how music strengthens focus, self-esteem, and creativity. My goal is to create a studio environment where every student feels capable, supported, and excited to learn.
Piano Programs
Semi-Private Lessons
Ages 4-6
A supportive, playful environment for young beginners. Two students per weekly lesson, ideal for early learners who thrive with peer (or sibling) motivation.
Let’s Play Music — Presto
Ages 7-12
A dynamic, weekly 60-minute group program. Teaches full musicianship: piano skills, theory, ear training, rhythm, history of music and more.
Private Piano Lessons
Ages 8-18
Weekly one-on-one lessons that build strong technique, musicianship, and confidence. Personalized instruction for every student's level and goals.

What Parents Are Saying
Parents share their experiences from virtual, private, and Presto lessons.
“1000% recommended! We absolutely love Lisa and her way of teaching. She is so positive and has given my girls so much confidence in their abilities. She takes the time to really get to know each student individually and really connects to them and what they need. We are so happy to have found such a great teacher!”

“My kiddos LOVE Lisa! I have 3 who do her Presto classes, which is nice because they get to learn more than just piano and have their friends with them! I also have 1 who does her private lessons and he really enjoys the pace, and her ability to explain things to him.
They have honestly grown so much in their skills this last year. Seriously impressed."
— Parent of Semi-Private, Presto & In-Studio Private Students, Katie K.
