Testimonials

     

 Nora is a gifted musician skilled at connecting with students of all ages and nurturing a love of music.

 Learning piano with Nora as an adult beginner student has been truly the best experience and everything I was hoping to find in a teacher. I tried out a few different instructors before her, yet Nora immediately clicked for me as not only a brilliant, patient, and enthusiastic teacher, but also as an amazing person I'm so excited to visit with every week. She is truly gifted when it comes to adapting her teaching style per student (of all ages and backgrounds!), and she has helped me grow my skills and understanding of music immensely. Her encouragement and coaching keep my growth progressing every semester, and I absolutely love building on this skillset away from a screen amongst her other students. 

Becca E.
Adult Beginner

 Nora is incredibly warm and patient. She thoughtfully adapts each lesson to match my child's unique learning style, which has made a noticeable difference in progress. Her fun, engaging approach makes piano something my child genuinely looks forward to every week.

Registered Nurse

 Although Nora is a performing artist, she manages to find time to be a great teacher. She is always teaching me something new technically - how to hold or move my hands, which fingers to use - to make difficult passages easier.
