I have been learning the piano for about four months now with Cecilia and she has been such an incredible teacher. I am learning the piano as an adult, and I have found that her patient and kind teaching style keeps me motivated to continue learning. She will tailor her lessons to allow the student to learn music that they like to play. She has taught me a lot about how to read music and improve my technique. I recommend Cecilia to students of all ages and skill levels.

Details: 18 - 25 years old • Yes, the student can read music • No formal training; some self-taught experience • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a keyboard • 30 minutes • At the pro’s location

Cecilia is not just my piano teacher, she is my friend! But during lessons her professionalism is unparalleled. She is extremely talented and accomplished and her discipline is an example to follow. I cannot speak highly enough about her passion for the study of piano and her commitment to her students. Highly recommend!

Cecilia has been my piano teacher for about 6 years. I took lessons for 10 years as a child, and wanted to take up the piano again after my children were grown. She has taken me to a level in my playing that I never imagined achieving. I highly recommend Cecilia.
