About Me
I welcome students of all ages and abilities, from beginner to advanced. My goal is to instill in every student a love and appreciation of music and piano, and to provide them with the knowledge and tools necessary to play and enjoy this incredible instrument, whether as a life-long hobby or as a career.
Students are taught in a relaxed environment on a Steinway grand piano, and are strongly encouraged to perform and share their talents with others. Performance opportunities include my annual winter and spring studio recitals, festivals at local colleges, National Guild piano auditions, performing at local venues such as nursing homes and businesses, and pairing up with other students for duets and ensembles.

Student Reviews
Elissa
Easton, PA
My daughter, Jordan, has been taking piano from Liz for almost 3 years. She truly enjoys her lessons with Liz. She has played many diverse pieces and learned about music theory, all with an emphasis on technique. I am happy to have so many opportunities to see Jordan perform each year - whether in a recital, competition, or to entertain residents in a nursing home. I highly recommend Liz as a teacher to anyone interested in learning to play piano.
