Susan taught 2 of my children beginning piano lessons. She was patient, capable, kind and instilled incentive to practice. She geared her teaching to the interests of my children. I would definitely recommend Susan especially if you would like your child to develop a love for music!

Susan is a gifted pianist and an exceptional piano teacher. She has taught several of my children and I have highly recommended her to my friends who were looking for a teacher for their children. She teaches with positive feedback, and instills her love of music in her students. I definitely recommend her as a teacher.
