  My family is thrilled with the music instruction provided by Le Forte Piano Studio. Our eldest daughter has been taking lessons at Le Forte for the last 4 years, and she is developing into a true musician. Our two younger girls also take lessons, and they look forward to practicing because Mellisa gives them fun challenges.

  Our daughter, who is 9, is in her second year with Mellisa Weinert. We couldn't be more pleased! After starting lessons with Mellisa, our daughter has flourished musically and personally. The most amazing thing is that she goes to the piano herself to practice without any pushing or persuading! Through Mellisa, she has learned to love the piano and learned the value of a continuous, persistent work to reach a goal. Mellisa does this, in part, by motivating her pupils through fun activities / contests, etc. so that the practicing doesn't feel like a chore but something fun to do (yet with specific goals to achieve). Mellisa is very professional and, at the same time, a very warm and encouraging person. She also makes an effort to relate to a child within the child's psychological framework, tailoring the assignments and learning levels. Mellisa shares her enthusiasm for music with our child but with us as well! We couldn't be more pleased!

  Mellisa is a wonderful teacher! As an adult student of hers, she has taught me so much! Mellisa not only teaches you how to play the piano, but teaches you theory behind the music, and history of the composers!
  I took lessons from another teacher as a teen, and later in life decided to take lessons again from Mellisa. I was amazed to see that with Mellisa, I learned more in 3 months than I learned in 3 years from my previous teacher! Mellisa is very passionate about piano education and is a great teacher! I highly recommend Le Forte Piano Studio!

  Mellisa is one of the most knowledgeable teacher I have ever had! She makes lessons very fun and motivates me to go home and practice as much as I can! I have thoroughly enjoyed learning from her and would recommender her to anyone, beginning or very advanced!

  An amazing teacher, a kind heart, and a personable human being, these are only a few of the many fantastic ways of describing Ms. Weinert. She has a unique style of teaching that will have you learning music history, the piano layout, and how to read music amongst other things. Her musical mind has given her an insite on what it means to be a teacher. I can say this for sure, there is only one person who I would trust with such an elegant instrument, and that person is Mellisa Weinert.
