Suzanne is an excellent instructor who has been very inspiring to me in helping me to develop musically. She motivated my enthusiasm to study and work hard at the piano through my college years. She helped me in finding my creative potential for composing my own pieces. I made the biggest strides in my proficiency at the piano during the years I studied with her. I was especially inspired by her ability to make music accessible and easy to understand. She has skills in music including classical repertoire and technique as well as improvisational skills in jazz and other styles, arranging and composition. I took weekly lessons with Suzanne and she was always dependable and on time. She is the best music instructor I've studied with. She helped cultivate my lifelong love and understanding of music.
