Piano Lessons with Jana
Introduction: 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.

Jana is a loving teacher and very good at motivating the student. My two girls practiced during the week and always looked forward to her teaching.

Jana was my daughter's first piano teacher. Although my daughter is a reluctant learner, Jana was able to break through to her, reach her were she was, and make a fine little piano player out of her! Five years later, my daughter is still playing and loving it! Yeah Jana!!!

I've had Jana as a piano teacher for about 3 months or so, and I have to say that I have been very impressed with her capability at teaching. Her unique explanations, outward personality, and never-ending patience all combine to make her a true joy to learn from. Her musical aptitude and "sixth-sense" are truly unmatched; there have been a good number of times in which she's presented a critical paradigm shift on a piece that I never would have thought of. All in all, I don't think I could have a better time learning piano from Jana.

Jana's done a great job of really focusing on musical activities and methods that work well for our child's mentality...keeping things interesting and fun while enhancing his skills.

My piano work with Jana has been fun, challenging and insightful. She is lighthearted and affirming of your abilities while keeping you focused and a bit on edge. She will guide you through the lesson from whatever place you arrive. The train leaves when you sit on her bench and you need to drive but she's got your back. She has an intuitive sense for where you are in your practice, where you need to go and most importantly, effective methods to get you there. Her support and inspiration energizes my practice each lesson and gives me thoughtful tools to approach the goals we have for the next meeting. She's great!
