Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: My goals are to teach my students to play piano and to know and love music and, at the same time, to use the process of learning as a tool in development of important skills useful at school, college and work. This includes persistence, the ability to learn and concentrate, being comfortable in front of an audience, and self-esteem. My on-going mission is to: Teach students of different ages starting from 5 years old and adults. Choose musical compositions taking in account student’s interests, age and background. Select compositions of different complexity depending on student’s skills. Promote student’s progress by presenting them with compositions of gradual increased complexity. Build student’s confidence by organizing quarterly recitals where they can play for each other, their parents and friends. Prepare students to perform in piano competitions. An important part of teaching piano are recitals and concerts that my students participate in twice a year. Family members and friends are always welcome to attend. Playing in front of an audience builds a person's self esteem, confidence and is a treat for parents as well. My lessons usually last 30 minutes and I charge $25. It is so rewarding to hear how my students play. And it is even more rewarding to see how they begin appreciate and love music.

My oldest has been taking piano lessons from Elaine for over 5 years. Our experience has been nothing short of positive. Elaine has an amazing amount of patience and commitment to ensuring she fosters the love of music in each and every child. She is completely dedicated. The other thing we love about learning with her is that her choice in music is very eclectic. She works hard to match music with child. We love learning with her and look forward to a long association with her. So many of my friends have also brought their kids to Elaine after hearing my son play.

Elaine is an outstanding piano teacher. My son takes her lessons for almost four years. He made a remarkable progress and he loves going to the lessons. Elaine tirelessly finds musical pieces that fit my son’s interests and abilities. What is even more important, she has enough patients to actually teach him. Finally, concerts that she puts together with her students twice a year are amazing. Erica M.

I am one of Elaine's later-in-life adult piano students and I came to her studio as a beginner. Despite my busy work and personal schedule, I look forward to my lessons with Elaine. Her vast experience and love for teaching piano has given me a greater appreciation for all types of piano music. I wish I could have taken lessons from her as a child but as an adult, I couldn't ask for a more patient, experienced, energetic, and enthusiastic teacher.

FAQs

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    Maria, Mayfield Heights: Our daughter has been taking lessons from Elaine for five years. Elaine has a talent to teach students of all ages and abilities. She knows how to keep her students dedicated and interested in piano in many ways. Above and beyond her teaching abilities, we are thankful that Elaine has been a positive role model for our teenage daughter. We would highly recommend Elaine as a piano instructor for someone of any age. ***** Jill, Orange: Elaine is a fantastic piano teacher and person. Both my daughter and I have been taking lessons with her and are at different levels. We both enjoy the lessons so much that it is hard to believe that a half-hour goes by so quickly. ***** Victoria Wu, Solon: My son Dan has been taking piano lessons from Elaine since he was in the 4th grade and now he's in the 10th grade. He enjoys her lessons and looks forward to attend. He practices on his own and I feel his love of music has a lot to do with what a good teacher Elaine is. She's very positive and encouraging. The recitals and auditions have helped Dan get more serious about playing for an audience - in a good way. I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone looking for a piano teacher. ***** Kim, Beachwood: My two children are students of Elaine Mayzel. Elaine is a dedicated and professional educator. She has her own "signature" style that keeps children motivated and engaged through the lesson. Two-three times a year every child gets an opportunity to participate in recital and concerts. What I especially like about the Elaine is that lessons are adjusted for every student, depending on their goals and your abilities. She is also a very good in communicating with parents. Highly recommend. ***** Elizabeth and Dominic, Mayfield Village: Our son has been Elaine's student for over 6 years now. Elaine is a great instructor with all the fine touches that different students might require. The concerts that she puts together several times a year showcase the product of labor and love. Our son always looks forward to take a part in the concert and show what new progress he's made. He is a high school student now, but despite his demanding schedule he wants to continue his musical education because it became an important part of his life. ***** Cindy, Twinsburg: As an adult, beginning piano student, I was somewhat reluctant to take lessons late in life. However, Elaine has created for me an encouraging and age-appropriate learning atmosphere. I have learned to play many types of music since I started 3 years ago and I still enjoy each and every lesson with Elaine along with participation in piano recitals. ****
