Testimonials
“Out of my 10 years at piano, I have learned the most from Miss Cynthia. Expressing myself through music has become easier than ever and I can now apply what I’ve learned outside of classes.” - Jasmine, student
“Cynthia is a great musical influence on my children. It is evident to me that she thinks deeply about what her individual students need to succeed. She has consistently shown flexibility and a willingness to meet my kids where they are. For example, Cynthia works hard to make challenging songs accessible. My daughter wanted to learn “He’s a Pirate” from a soundtrack and Cynthia made it possible for her as a beginning student.
I especially like Cynthia’s goal of making every student a well rounded musician. She takes students through composition and improvisation early on - something not all piano teachers are able to do. Thank you for your hard work!” -Brenna, parent
“You make music so much fun for me because I like when we sing songs at the end of class! You are an amazing piano teacher because you make music fun and you do a really good job teaching me!” - Riya, student
