Report
Almost 3 years ago when my daughter was 6 she stated she wanted to take piano lessons. I started her with Cameron Park Piano due to a referral given by a friend. My daughter loves her instructor, Celia Frazer. Celia is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. She has never cancelled in the almost 3 years my daughter has had her as a teacher. When my daughter wanted to quit piano I discovered, through talking with her, that the lessons were going to quickly and that she needed more help with her piano homework.
I spoke with Celia who made great adjustments to the lessons which resolved my daughter's concerns and now she is back to loving taking her lessons. Celia is great to work with and has a great desire to see her students succeed and to keep their love of playing piano.
