Our family highly recommends Mrs. Janine Johnson for piano lessons. This will be our fourth year with Mrs. Johnson. She has patiently and actively encouraged both of our girls in skill development, lesson and performance preparedness, and practice etiquette. We are beyond pleased with their ability to hear and sing notes, and in all ability components of piano playing. Encouraging practice is a challenge for our family, and Mrs. Johnson has upheld high standards while encouraging and finding music of interest for the girls to play. We are grateful for her, and encourage you to meet with her if youre seeking to learn piano at any age.

Both of my children have blossomed into incredible musicians under Janine's tutelage. She instills a love of music, along with teaching proper technique, method, and music theory to her students. I can highly recommend Janine Johnson as the most accomplished piano teacher. Her musicality, love of the piano, and her knowledge of teaching is infectious to her students. She is a treasure to our community.

As a classical pianist who has performed all over the country, I can attest that Janines efforts, teaching skills, and amazing knowledge of the instrument are the reasons I am who I am today. She was always forthcoming and very supportive of me. She had patience but also gave just enough coaxing to enable me to succeed. I know firsthand that she is the best option for any student looking to learn the instrument in an efficient, direct, and detailed manner. I will always very much appreciate the years of study I had with her. They were invaluable.
