About Me
Piano teacher with 40 yrs. experience; Piano technician with 33 yrs. experience; Music teacher with 15 years experience teaching K-8 in private and public schools in the northwest suburbs.
Lessons for all ages are given in my single family home in a quiet neighborhood. The Jewel, restaurants, library, parks and the park district are conveniently located within several blocks to help you multitask. . Parents are welcome.
Lessons combine concepts, enrichment, theory, technique and note reading routinely. Materials include a piano method with supplementary materials. A recital and enrichments provide opportunity to perform and provide other musical experiences. Weekly lesson feedback is provided with each lesson.

My daughters have been taking lessons from Carol for years, and we couldn't be happier. They've made excellent progress, and most importantly, look forward to their lessons and feel motivated to practice. Highly recommend.
