Pat is a wonderful piano teacher. We have a 7 year old son who is just learning how to play piano and he came in with no prior knowledge of music. She is very patient and kind with him and does not push him to learn too many things at once. I would recommend her to any age of student willing to learn and she is very professional, great at communicating expectations and has really helped our son grow to learn the beginnings of being a musician.

Pat is very patient with my nine-year-old daughter who is in her 2nd year of piano. She corrects her when she plays something incorrectly but in a very encouraging and non-threatening way. My daughter is enjoying her lessons and has come a long way so far. I'm impressed with Pat's ability to both encourage and challenge her students.

Pat is an excellent piano teacher. Her lessons are well organized and include all parts of music instruction, theory, technique and expression. She is patient but firm with her students. It would be easy for both young children and adults to learn from Pat.
