About
To help students enjoy music making while becoming their best musical selves is my purpose as a teacher. Each student has a unique learning style, thus my teaching approach is flexible, adapted to meet their individual needs and goals while fostering a commitment to excellence.
Whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced learner, successful instruction requires enthusiasm, kindness, patience, and the necessary feedback so that students are well aware of the learning stage they’re experiencing at any given time. That’s the core of my teaching philosophy.
As I count with more than ten years of international experience both as a performer and teacher in all levels of education, I confidently guide my students to succeed in the pursuit of their goals while enjoying the process.
Looking forward to getting to know you and to become your piano teacher!

Dr. Schrubski has been my son's piano teacher for seven months so far and he has learned so much and grown confident. He had not played piano at all before signing up but plays beautifully now.
She has also been very understanding and accommodating when coordinating the lesson schedule as well as when something unexpected comes up. She always tries her best to make sure my son can reach his lesson goals and that he leaves each lesson with more skill and knowledge than when we arrived as well as staying on schedule for learning milestones.
Lastly, she has been exceptional at communicating and transparency and very easy to talk to about costs, lessons, schedules, changes, and performance information.

Dr. Ayala is teaching my four year old daughter pianolessons. She does a fantastic job making classes fun for children. She is very patient with my daughter and positive. I love how she brings such positive energy to each class. My daughter looks forward to lessons each week. I see her progress and if you book with Dr. Ayala I know you will see progress with your child as well.

Sara is an outstanding teacher and mentor who maintains a high level of enthusiasm, kindness, and devotion to her students. Giving me both the confidence and excitement to play classical pieces and encouragement of other repertoires as well, Sara was considerate, constructive, and encouraging, making me excited to come to every lesson. I would recommend her without hesitation for any incoming piano student. won't regret it!
