Jamie was a wonderful piano instructor for both of our daughters. The oldest started when she was around five and the piano and music skills she learned with Jamie have stuck with her into her teen years. Because of Jamie, she knows so much about music theory and improvisation, which is so beneficial in all areas of music. Highly recommend.

We have been with Jamie for almost seven years. Jamie has a dedication to her students development. Rather it be classical, modern, improv, blues. This studio meets your student were they are at and engages with fun and interactive learning to keep both student and families involved in the growth. If you are looking for place to build foundation, and help instill the love of music in youths, look no further.

My daughter has been taking piano lessons from Ms. Jamie for the past couple of years since she turned 4. The weekly piano lessons from Ms. Jamie have worked great in our case. Our daughter tells us on many occasions that she wishes that that day of the week was a Thursday since that's when she gets to go for piano lessons to learn one another song! I am very much happy with the way she has started sight reading at the end of her second year of piano lessons (though still a beginner, for her age she seems to be doing a good job at it)!
Ms Jamie offers a lot of performance opportunities and that's yet another feather to her cap! Studio classes that Ms. Jamie conducts every month is often very informative for the kids and our daughter just waits for the first Saturday of every month to be there for that monthly class!
