As my piano teacher for nearly a decade, Marilyn was a kind, patient, and engaging mentor. She pushed me to be a creative and technically precise musician. I am lucky to have had such a wonderful teacher!

Her enthusiasm for the piano and for music in general is infectious, as is her seriousness of purpose and high standards. She loves teaching, loves children, and loves music. Marilyn gave them an enormous gift which they will use for the rest of their lives. I can’t imagine a better teacher, and I am tremendously grateful to her.

Together we are still working on my neglected fluency so that I am now better able to read music and play with more confidence.  Only recently we went back to Bach’s Inventions and Sinfonias, after studying several of his Preludes and Fugues, so that the progress I have made has become still more palpable to me. I feel that in Marilyn I have found a source of such inspiration for years to come.

Although I had been playing the piano for a long while prior to that time, studying with Marilyn has transformed my playing.  She is a consummate musician and interpreter of music.  She has taught me to play much more musically so that my playing is much more satisfying to me and to the listeners in my family!
