Susan has a way of meeting kids where they are, which has helped our son gradually grow his piano skills from a young age and, more importantly, develop an appreciation for the process of learning. A patient, kind, and honest teacher, Susan knows when to nudge our son over a hump and when to step back and allow him to find his inner drive and his own way through a challenge. Piano with Miss Susan is the only after-school activity that our son hasn’t gotten tired of, which is a testament to Susan’s ability to develop great relationships with her students. She’s equally adept at building a partnership with adults, and as working parents, we have appreciated Susan’s flexibility and direct communication.

It has been a pleasure to have worked with Susan as my instructor in a group setting over many years. She has demonstrated thoughtful preparation, patience and support of a safe space for learning. Her attentiveness to each individual’s needs coupled with a systematic method and heartfelt approach make Susan a wonderful teacher.
