I started piano lessons wih Lani as a adult over seven years ago, wanting to finish what I had…read morestarted in my younger days. This is a tricky instrument, but I had taken music lessons for much of my life and wanted to really master this one. As an adult there is nothing more frustrating than a music teacher giving you 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' to practice! I showed up with a Chopin piece at my first lesson and rather than tell me I couldn't play that, she said, 'let's give it a go!' Lani treated me as an adult from the beginning, with adult iinterests. She has always pushed me beyond my abitliy and made piano fun at the same time. When things got a bit frustratiing she sensed the need for a change and a different piece of music was introduced, yet we always came back to the frustrating music at a later date, and as a result I Ihave some wonderful pieces in my repertoire. Lani is the one of the kindest people I know and her love for the instrument is palpable. It's fun watching her nerd out on piano theory and making theory fun for students as well! But piano is not only about the music. Piano is about getting to know yourself, experiencing the frustration together with someone you can trust to keep your best interests at heart. I have grown as a person through the years of piano lessons, and I do believe a great teacher will help one grow. Seeing her students go on to study music in college may be the biggest compliment one can give to Lani as a music teacher. She instills in you the love of the instrument, the deisre to practice more to become a better player. I have watched the younger students grow up in front of me through the years as we played together in group classes. But music is not just for the young. I hear so many adults say they wished they could play piano. I started in my late 40's with Lani. You can too. And if you are looking for a great instructor to guide you through the process, I can't think of anyone better than Lani Elston at Piano Possibilites.

Miss Andrea is a wonderful teacher and keeps these little ones on task while singing, learning all about the piano and most importantly, having fun. Our little one will be playing her first songs this weekend at her first recital. The method used here at Harmony allows little ones to actually learn how to play songs before they can even read or write. She has gained so much confidence and loves to learn and then "teach" her mommy what she has learned. By the time I lose her to full-time kindergarten, she will be reading notes and playing songs with both hands. Amazing!! While the right-hand notes are being solidified, the left-hand notes are also being introduced. Having Fun, Doting Grandma
