I wanted to share my experience working with Marie and her quality work. I checked her Thumbtack profile and contacted her since I saw she has amazing reviews and hands down turned out to be all true whatever people were saying about their great experiences. She always shows up, pretty flexible and has so much patience with kids since my kid is only 7 and he wasn’t listening to me but he started to play his first song today and I am so happy to know Marie and will definitely recommend her to anyone want to start learning music specially Piano and by the way, she has an amazing vocal and great control on it. Thank you again :)

I wanted to start playing piano for a long time and I didn’t really know where to start. After a deep online search and a quick conversation with Marie, I felt very comfortable, and we started. Now, after a few months in, I feel like I made the best decision. She is very patient and professional, and also very creative and talented. I highly recommend her!

Marie is currently teaching our three children in voice, ukulele, and piano. I love seeing the progression in our children's chosen instruments. They really look forward to their lessons with Marie each week!

After mostly trying to teach myself how to play, Marie helped me get back on course learning piano with seven lessons last summer that relied on the Bastien Adult Beginner book.
