About
With almost three decades of teaching experience both privately and in schools, I am open to accommodating lesson times and days to suit the preferences of families. I appreciate that students and families lead busy lives, just like myself. Witnessing the growth of my students, from their skills and accomplishments to their understanding of music, brings me immense joy. Equally important, I strive to provide my students with the necessary tools that will benefit them for years to come, even after our time together has ended. Throughout the year, I encourage my students to set goals, such as recitals or participating in music theory exams via the ABRSM program and sonatina festivals, in addition to other available opportunities in our local area.

Thanks to her extensive experience, she proved invaluable to us throughout the planning process. She took great pains to meticulously select pieces that resonated with us, improvising on the spot to offer a live demonstration of the music we discussed. Her professionalism was second to none, and she worked closely with us to curate the precise ambiance we desired for our wedding. We felt incredibly fortunate that, given the indoor setting, she was able to use a baby grand piano to fill the room with gorgeous melodies, making it an unforgettable occasion. We would gladly collaborate with her again without hesitation.

Helga has been teaching our 7-year-old daughter how to play the piano and we couldn't be happier with her. She is easy to talk to and willingly adjusts to our needs. Helga is also patient and consistent in her approach, and she boasts abundant expertise and experience. Our daughter loves the way she teaches and enjoys every session. Helga has exceeded our expectations for a piano teacher and we consider ourselves fortunate to have found her!

Over an extended period, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Helga in two capacities - as a fellow professional and as a parent to two of her piano pupils. Helga sets a high bar for her learners, motivates them, and leverages their natural abilities to encourage growth. Additionally, Helga lent her expertise to my daughter's wedding by providing a spectacular musical performance before, during, and after the ceremony, which elevated the overall experience. My family and I deeply appreciate Helga's efforts in widening our scope of musical expertise throughout the years.

Until just a few weeks before our ceremony, my spouse and I were uncertain about what we should do for the music. We were overjoyed to discover Helga who agreed to play at our ceremony. Helga was incredibly accommodating and provided suggestions for the songs that we were unsure of. Moreover, she learned the ones we requested (Moon River, Land Before Time Credits) and performed them marvelously. Helga's punctuality, professionalism, and easy-going attitude made our collaboration a pleasant experience. We strongly recommend her services to anyone searching for a talented pianist.

Helga is an amazing person to collaborate with; she demonstrates excellent responsiveness and is incredibly accommodative with scheduling. I deeply admire her balance of being firm with my daughter while at the same time providing her with encouraging support. Helga is an experienced piano teacher who works wonderfully with children.
