Introduction

First, please note that I live in Clearwater, zip 33756, one mile south of downtown. I have 2 degrees in Music Education and especially enjoy teaching people to read music. (Note: A student needs to be able to read words.) I can also do some vocal coaching and accompany singers. I love helping people learn music and be able to achieve their musical goals. Music is such an important part of life!

We haven't had a lesson yet, but unfortunately I was procrastinating. She has been very responsive and continued to keepme in her loop while I was contemplating. Reasonably priced and so generous with that time. We willbe doing piano and voice accompaniment!

Our first session today with Ms.Marcia. Ari was very nervous. But I was taught Piano today for the 1st time ever. Tried to put my daughter at ease. Miss Marcia was kind and patient with Ari. I greatly appreciated that. I know as time goes on Ari will open up more. I learned a few things today and Ari also helped Ms.Marcia teach me..lol. I look forward to getting our own piano to practice on. And see Ms.Marcia for our next lesson.

Details: 6 - 9 years old • Yes, the student can read music • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • What the teacher recommends • No, the student does not have either • 30 minutes • Willing to work around teacher's schedule • I travel to the piano teacher

I have never played the piano before I started taking lessons. I have been taking lessons now for six months and can actually play some songs. Marcia is magic with her instructions. I will be 74 this year and thought I might be too old to start, but I am so pleased to find Marcia. She is so professional and a wonderful instructor. She makes it fun to learn the piano. Thank you Marcia.

Details: 65 years or older • No, the student cannot read music • No formal training • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a piano • 60 minutes • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting)

My daughter and I started taking lessons with Marcia about a month ago and she had been a gift to our family! She's knowledgeable, patient, kind, encouraging, and accommodating and we're both learning a lot. She's a fantastic teacher and I'm so grateful we found her! Thank you Marcia!
