Suzanne has been an exceptional piano teacher for myself and my children, whom she has guided through remote zoom meetings. Her ability to seamlessly incorporate virtual learning into our piano lessons has left me impressed. With her adaptive teaching style, she has found the perfect balance between positive reinforcement and constructive critique to help each of us progress. Even my initially hesitant children have found joy in their lessons and eagerly anticipate each session. I highly recommend her services.

She displays great professionalism and proficiency in her work. Additionally, her pleasant demeanor and patience are noteworthy. Thanks to her teaching, I now possess a thorough understanding of correct breathing techniques. Her approach to singing involves not only exercises but also the application of these techniques to one's favorite songs.
