About
I have over 35 years of experience teaching both privately and in schools. I am willing to be flexible with lesson times and days, or structured as the family would like, because I understand that students and families are busy with life and other activities too, just like I am. I enjoy watching how my students grow from year to year through their skills, accomplishments and understanding of music. Plus, I enjoy giving them the tools that will last them for the rest of their lives when I’m no longer their teacher. I like to give students goals throughout the year through preparing for recitals, playing or music theory exams through the ABRSM program, sonatina festivals and other opportunities that might be available in the area where I live.

Helga taught me piano lessons for fifteen years starting in first grade. She took me through the very fundamental aspects of piano through the advanced elements of music, and helped me become a mature, rounded musician. Her attention to her student's strengths, coupled with a precise focus on technique and musicianship helped me to succeed with my studies at the piano. Helga draws on a deep knowledge of piano repertoire for all skill levels, an intuitive understanding of the technical development of young learners, and a strong desire for her students to achieve to their fullest potential. She pushes her students to accomplish increasingly advanced goals and does so effectively. I cannot speak highly enough of the education that I received from Helga. She not only helped me develop my piano technique to a substantive level, but also instilled a passion for music in me that continues to this day. My lessons with her were so important to me that I am soon to receive my Master of Music degree from the New England Conservatory of Music in Composition here in Boston, where I teach piano lessons myself.

Helga is such an amazing instructor. When I was younger, finding an instructor who I could stay with was always a struggle. However, Helga has been my instructor for the past 5 years. She explains everything very thoroughly and teaches in a way where you appreciate not only the notes on the page, but also the story behind it. Helga is also a very caring person. She is always there if you need help with anything, whether it be related to music or not. I would strongly recommend Helga as an instructor to pianists of any level.

I have worked with Helga for many years, both as a professional colleague, as well as the parent of two of her piano students. Helga has high expectations for her students, encourages them, and finds ways to build upon their strengths. Most recently Helga provided musical guidance for my daughter’s wedding and played the piano before, during and after the ceremony, which enhanced the entire event. Our family is grateful to Helga for expanding our musical knowledge over the years.
