Probably the best teacher on the planet... I'm having so much fun.  Her piano skills are world class, yet she keeps my lesson plans appropriate for my ability while challenging me as I advance.  I was an absolute beginner and now I can read music (yes, it was a miracle). There's no pressure, only encouragement to keep getting better.  I'm learning to properly count the beats and use proper fingering techniques. She has taught me to "hear a singing voice" for the songs I'm learning, which helps me understand and interpret some great music.  Maybe her greatest attribute is understanding the process of learning to play the piano...   when I'm having trouble and problems she reminds me to relax, things are OK, be patient and try it again slowly and to be mindful of the song.  Thanks, RBProbably the best teacher on the planet...

I started taking lessons with Maria during COVID and am thrilled with how fast I’ve been learning. I am a retired teacher and had little knowledge of piano playing except as a child. Her patience and experience has helped me learn quickly and now I can play songs for birthdays, Christmas songs, and other holidays, as well as movie themes, and classics that I love. So impressed with her own talent and feeling blessed and fortunate to be able to learn from Maria. I strongly recommend her for all ages to learn from her piano lessons!

Maria is a fantastic piano teacher! My daughters, ages 6 and 8, have felt comfortable with her from their first day and now anxiously await their lessons each Wednesday. Maria is very receptive, easy to communicate with and passionate about what she does. We are so happy to have found her.
