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!

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!

Marcia is an outstanding teacher. She has the patience of a saint! She created a practice technique that helps the student quickly learn and play beautiful music from classical to popular! Her musical background and expertise is A++ which makes her an exceptional mentor and coach for her students. I highly recommend Marcia if you are new to piano or are a returning student- she knows her stuff and will help you become a maestro some day!

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!

Marcia is an excellent piano instructor. I am very happy with the lessons my daughter is currently taking. Marcia is patient, and is clear in giving instruction and explanation to each step or lesson that is given. I would definitely recommend her!

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
