About
I offer private piano lessons with theory mixed in! I am great for homeschoolers who need arts credits! I give half-hour lessons weekly in my conveniently located Susquehanna Township home.
I offer very competitive rates and family discounts for multiple students. I also give personal time and attention to each student and family!
I can’t get Thumbtack to say this, so you need to know that I do remote lessons only for existing students and those in the central PA area. I’m sorry that some of you have been mislead.

I am a 30 year old male without any prior piano experience. I've been playing with Miss Ellen now for about 2 months and I am beyond elated with my progress. Her warmth, patience, and methods have made my learning experience enjoyable and exciting to say the least. I highly recommend to literally anyone interested in learning piano.

Although I just started, Mrs. Ellen was wonderful. She introduced everything to me with my first free lesson. As soon as we met, I knew she was the right tutor!

Miss Ellen is enthusiastic and encouraging. She is able to correct mistakes in a way that the student is not left feeling discouraged and is willing to persevere to correct it. She is careful to pace each student individually so that he/she is not overwhelmed nor under challenged. She is truly dedicated to ensuring the student learns all elements of piano instruction.

My son began playing piano with Ellen when he was in first grade. He is now an eighth grader. Ellen has done an excellent job with him each year. She individualizes his lessons and moves him along at just the right pace. My child has a love of music which has been nurtured by the caring teaching he has received from Ellen.

I have a college degree in sacred music and 20+ years of experience teaching all kinds of things-theater, Bible study, vocalists, piano.
