Why Piano?
It's cool, fun, and rewarding! It lets your creativity shine. It gives a tremendous sense of accomplishment, while teaching perseverance, attention, and self-discipline. It is a foundation of all other musical training.
Piano is an art form with many benefits. It allows you (or your child) to be creative, while also learning discipline, sharpening math, language, and multitasking skills. It also helps build confidence and is fulfilling. Especially while staying home, it can be something engaging and useful to put time into!
ABOUT ME
I am a classically trained pianist, who started my piano career at the nearby Levine School of Music. Levine provided me with the foundational skills, technique, and discipline that I share with my students! I love seeing my students grow and learn, teaching them how to use both sides of their brain to create precise, beautiful, and complex music! Piano opened up the entire musical world for me, leading me to sing in the Premiere Ensemble of the National Children's Chorus, and performing at some of the most elite venues in the country.
Kimberly, Parent:
“My daughter started taking piano lessons with Leah as a 3rd grader last year and it has been a wonderful experience. Leah has transformed a budding interest into a passionate hobby. My daughter looks forward to her lessons each week and our family enjoys listening to her play what she has learned! I am so impressed with Leah’s patience, flexibility, and natural ease with my daughter. She also didn’t miss a beat when we had to transition from in-person to virtual lessons during COVID-19. Thank you, Leah!!!”
