About
I work very well with all levels of musicianship and can prepare a student for college auditions as well as inspire the hobbyist and dabbler. I enjoy working with neurodiverse students of all ages and abilities! I believe that music reaches into our core being, strengthening our belief in each other's kindness and beauty.
I love sitting down one-on-one with a student and focusing on that individual's musical self. It is a privilege to watch students' fingers learn to express what they feel and think. I love helping students bring life to the printed notes on the page and recognize themselves in the music.

Having Jana as a teacher has been a wonderful experience. I used to hate piano, but now I am excited for my lesson every week. Instead of teachers that make you do what they want, Jana gives me options. We tried jazz, baroque, pop music and more. She lets me use her own piano books and gives specific tips. Jana has taught me so many different areas of music. We also have fun. She always comes with a smile on her face. She always comes when we need her to(even on short notice.) Jana teaches piano theory, technique and music (of course!) When we did pop music, she bought the song I was playing on I-Tunes just so that she could help me with it even better. Jana has without a doubt, been my favorite piano teacher ever!

Jana is a total inspiration! She is very accepting of where I am musically and provides a total balance with theory, playing, and fun! It is apparent that she is quite adaptable to specific students learning styles. She was very open to every style of music. I felt completely encouraged and couldn't wait to practice after my lesson. Truly a gifted teacher as well as musician.
Thank you Jana!

Jana is a fantastic and enthusiastic teacher. She is innovative and always coming up with new ideas to help my 5 year old learn piano. We miss having her come to our house for lessons, but she has a fantastic music room and my daughter loves discovering all the instruments. Jana uses a variety of instruments in her instruction, so lessons are more than just piano, they also create an in depth understanding of music theory.

Jana has a really creative approach to teaching piano. My 6 yr old has only had a few lessons so far but already he's done some improv and learned some theory. I'm really pleased!

Jana is amazing with my son, who is 5 years old and has Down syndrome. He's always responded enthusiastically to music and rhythms, so we were excited but a little bit apprehensive to see how he'd respond to the "structure" of a lesson. Jana was incredible: she moved from one concept to another quickly, but in a way he could follow 100%. She's really incorporated "play" into learning, and we couldn't be happier.
