Introduction: I admit, I'm a bit right brainer. This is a great benefit to my students because each week, I have something up my sleeve that is sure to motivate and inspire whether its through a new studio challenge, game or some exciting new music. For 7 years, I taught Musikgarten which is a music class for babies and toddlers. There's a lot you can learn from those little tikes. One being patience and how to be a listener. That's right - a teacher that listens! My experience as a Musikgarten instructor as well as my experience as a performer, instructor and being able to offer on the spot accompaniment at church has only helped me as a teacher and guide. I continue to take private music lessons for myself (been doing that for the past 25 + years!). This experience helps me see through the eyes of each student. So when I say I know what performance anxiety is like, what its like to have a lousy practice week, or a great practice week - I'm not kidding! I love the human heart, no matter the age. But I do love the kids! They are amazing and its great to help them discover what they can do. Being a music student can be lonely business sometimes. So can being a teacher. But merge the two - and you have harmony!

She is amazing piano teacher. My daughter started her piano class with her when she was in kindergarden. Barbara was very patient with her,told her the importance of practice and focused on her technique and challenged her when needed without making it obvious. She is very warm and nurturing teacher. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for excellent teacher.

Heart and Soul Music Studio's reply

To practice, or not to practice? That seems to be the question for more than one of my students! I enjoy a good challenge and to motivate and inspire to practice certainly does that for me. It was a pleasure to work with you and Saachi. I hope that I instilled in her the desire to create and the courage to make beautiful music!

Both my daughter and I had the pleasure of taking voice lessons with Barbara. She has insightful advice and creative techniques.

Heart and Soul Music Studio's reply

Each student is different, including a mom and daughter team! I enjoyed working with you both and hope that you continue to sing your song and make beautiful music!

Ms. Barbara is a very well organized and musically gifted instructor. In the 7 months that she has been giving my two boys piano lessons in Ovelrand Park, KS--I have been very happy with her instructions. They have drastically improved. She is quick to pick up your musical strengths and weaknesses to maximize your sessions. If we were not moving, I would keep her with my boys.

Barbara is a wonderful person and teacher. My grandsons absolutely love her. Sam, my youngest was apprehensive about piano lessons in the beginning. Now he wants to go before his brother! :-) The material and techniques she uses are great. You will be lucky if she can fit you in!

Barbara is a great teacher! She is very good at finding ways to work with individuals in a way that they understand it easily. I highly recommend her.

How did you get started doing this type of work?
In college, I wanted to major in music but went another path. Its always been in the back of my mind. When I married, I was given the opportunity to explore this dream and make it a reality to own my music studio. Eleven years ago I started this adventure and have not looked back!
