My daughter has had piano lessons for 10 years, and of all the teachers she had, Eliana has been the best one! Eliana is an amazing teacher and kept her really interested in learning and playing. My daughter gained a lot of confidence in her skills and enjoyed playing piano so much that she would practice for hours. She inspired my daughter to want to excel in piano and learn more about music theory. We highly recommend Eliana!

Eliana is an excellent piano teacher. She is knowledgeable in both music theory, composition, and how to teach it. She is a great teacher for an adult beginner and tailors your lessons to your goals. I would highly recommend her.

Eliana was ideal for Jamie. She taught him how to read music, fingering approach/technique, and basic theory, while always being upbeat and encouraging. She's an outstanding teacher!

My teenage daughter had taken piano less from another teacher for several years and was not only failing to make the progress she wanted, but she simply wasn't enjoying playing. Then she began taking lessons from Eliana and my daughter's entire outlook changed. She became passionate about her playing and her skill level markedly improved over time. Eliana was a wonderful teacher and a wonderful influence on my daughter. She is both a highly skilled player and a gifted teacher; she is energetic and engaging and supportive; she is professional, punctual, and organized; and possibly her greatest skill is her use of a positive and supportive structure in which to gently yet firmly encourage my daughter to invest and improve. Whereas my daughter once feared performing, she now plays regularly in her church and loves music deeply. I think the world of Eliana, and the only reason my daughter stopped lessons was that Eliana relocated to another state. I give her my highest recommendation possible.

Eliana was a wonderful teacher for my son. She was respectful of his interests and wishes as a piano student. She encouraged him when he struggled and needed support, yet also challenged him to help him realize his potential. She was responsive to any issues or concerns that arose and demonstrated understanding and flexibility when circumstances called for those. We were sad when she moved away from our area though she was great even then and helped us find a new teacher.
