Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Performers usually make the most efficient teachers. Performing musicians teach from actual onstage experience and have mastered the most efficient ways to prepare for live performances. Fortunately I studied early childhood music education with the authors of the Yamaha music education system, and have incorporated many of its sound principles into my teaching. Our studio teaches sight singing in solfeo (do re mi) as well as tight rhythm, pitch recognition, through imitation and repetition. I was teaching the neighborhood kids in a pretend school on a neighbor's front porch throughout grade school. Recently I taught basic music to a diverse group of boys and girls in an after school program and in three months we performed on stage! Every person I teach has his or her own personal dynamic and collection of experiences. I enjoy finding and tapping into their highest selves so they may be amazed at how well they can do! I love helping people gain confidence in themselves, enjoy making music, and become proficient enough to pass it on to others. IT IS ABOUT RELAXING AND BEING ABLE TO SMILE AT ONE'S ACHIEVEMENT!

My son has been taking piano lessons from Ms. Kaiser (he's more formal with her -- I believe everyone else calls her by her first name) for six months. He absolutely LOVES it. I took several years of lessons (played throughout high school and college) and generally play for fun, so I am not clueless when it comes to music. I am also a teacher (just not a music teacher). I find that Marguerite is amazing at her craft -- both playing and teaching. She is very in tune to young students and knows when they are tired with one activity. She quickly moves on to something else! I love this approach. Additionally, she does not teach JUST piano. Students learn singing, rhythm through percussion, note reading, AND piano. I was not taught this way, though I really wish I was! Additionally, she teaches the students perfect pitch from day one. She truly is a special gem of a teacher. My son loves her dearly and we are thankful to have such a great teacher in our lives. He is now on to composing his own tunes. I am amazed with him and thankful we have such a great teacher to nurture his musical creativity. You won't regret hiring Marguerite!

Luke learns quickly and communicates with me very well. He has had two successful performances in front of audiences. His smile, his speech and his musicality thrill the audience every time! Congratulations, Lukie!

Marguerite Kaiser is a great piano teacher for both children and adults. She understands the dynamics of a person's learning process and caters her teaching to keep them engaged. During the lessons, she incorporates some history about past musicians and help you develop a love for music. She is an expert in music and cordially teaches it with patience. Mrs. Kaiser uses other mediums such as drumming, singing, etc. to expand your scope of music. I would recommend Marguerite Kaiser for individuals new to music or those who wants to sharpen their skills.

My granddaughter takes piano lessons and she loves them, but she loves Marguerite more. When the kids are little they get bored very quickly but Marguerite has a way with keeping their interest and making playing the piano fun. She is a warm and lovely woman and just so talented
