By the time the person in front of you leaves, your child washes hands, gets to the instrument, she chats and chats then finally... they start the lesson which is maybe a full 10 minutes, then they have 5 minutes of free time and have to check out and make another apt all within your half hour. .I feel like it is the biggest waste of time and money.

Short version:…read more Danielle helped me undo decades of resistance around reading music, dramatically improved my sight-reading and technique, and helped me finally feel like the musician I always wanted to be. She is intuitive, kind, appropriately firm, and exceptionally good at meeting students exactly where they are. I couldn't recommend her more highly. Long version (for anyone who enjoys context): I took private piano lessons as a child, from 4th through 12th grade. I became very comfortable and confident playing, but I had a persistent internal resistance to learning to read music.   I continued to play throughout my adult life, but eventually gave up on reading music altogether. Over time, that created a quiet sense of inadequacy- as though I couldn't truly consider myself a musician without that skill.   In my mid-forties, my desire to grow as a musician reawakened, and I decided it was time to try again. Around that same time, I came across a post by Danielle saying she had an opening for a new student. I took it as a sign, reached out, and scheduled a first lesson. The lesson went so well that we immediately agreed to continue working together.   The same old blocks were still present, but within a relatively short amount of time, Danielle recognized them and somehow figured out how to work through them with me. Little by little, they began to dissolve.   Since then, I've been making daily progress in my sight-reading abilities and technique, expanding my repertoire, and finally growing into the musician I've always wanted to be.   I attribute this progress largely to Danielle's unique ability to intuitively understand her students and teach them in the way they need to be taught. She is incredibly sensitive, yet gently firm when appropriate. She is kind-hearted, fun, and uplifting, but by no means a push-over. That balance is important for adult learners, and even more so for children.   I only wish I'd had a teacher like Danielle when I first began my musical journey.   Without hesitation, I would emphatically recommend Danielle to anyone looking to begin (or rediscover!) their musical path.

Danielle is a truly exceptional piano teacher. She brings a rare blend of musical expertise,…read morecreativity, and warmth to every lesson. Our daughter has grown so much under her guidance--not just in skill, but in confidence and her emotional connection to music. Danielle is thoughtful and responsive in her teaching style. She meets students where they are, while gently challenging them to grow. It's clear she invests deeply in their progress, and her encouragement has made a real difference for our daughter who has been with Danielle for 2-3 years now. Whether online or in person, she creates a structured, supportive, and inspiring space to learn. She balances music theory and foundational piano with flexibility, making lessons both meaningful and motivating. We're so grateful to have found her. Danielle is a gem, and we can't recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a teacher who is both incredibly skilled, patient, and genuinely committed to her students' growth.

Charlie Bird has been an excellent piano teacher for my son and I. Full disclosure, I'm in my 30s…read moreand my son is 6. I wanted to re-learn piano and I wanted my son to start so I reached out to Charlie last fall. We have been gong an hour a week since then, splitting the hour between my son and I. I really liked Charlie right away. Her studio is behind her home and has a very homey vibe. It's quirky in the best way. My son will sit on a beanbag chair and read books while I have my lesson and vice versa. Charlie has structured lessons for both of us, meeting us where we're at. I've been able to get through two whole books and my son is about to be finished with his first one. We also do flash cards and theory. I appreciate that Charlie really wants us to learn the notes/scales etc and be able to actually read music. Charlie is also always accommodating to our schedule and I've appreciated her flexibility when we've had other things come up or one of us was sick. If you're looking for a local piano teacher I can't recommend Charlie enough.

Those who want to write music are encouraged on that path. If a student wants to learn improvisation, she knows how to work with them. I've seen her work with very young pupils, with high school and college students, and with adults who are returning to musical roots, or trying out the piano or guitar for the first time. Charlie really loves her students, and that makes all the difference.

If you have kids that play well already or are just starting out, Soco Music Coalition is the place for them. I should also mention that they have an extensive collection of instruments for kids to try out if they are not sure what they want to play yet. The instructors are very good for all levels. We are grateful we found them. We can't wait to attend the upcoming Spring Break Camp and Summer Camps! They seem like a great deal for all that is included!

My child received lessons at Speed of Sound for a year or two. The owner is a great guy, very…read morefriendly and keenly interested in teaching music to the community (also plays at some of the local schools...). The piano teacher we were paired up with was great, my child loved the weekly lessons and the relationship established throughout the course of our patronage of Speed of Sound. We were, unfortunately, quite disappointed with the logistical side of the business. We repeatedly had lessons canceled or changed with as little as an hour or two notice. There were even a number of occasions where we arrived for a lesson to find that our teacher was not available, no replacement had been organized, and as a result the front desk attendant (a student at high school) would sit in on the "lesson" for which we still had to pay full price. We also received a number of emails from the owner notifying us that we were behind on our bills, when in fact the owner hadn't sent us a bill for multiple months (I have never been late on a bill in my life and have an 840 credit score). Towards the end of our time at Speed of Sound, the school transitioned to a timeslot-based system where students would receive a weekly timeslot rather than dedicated teacher. While this system may be helpful with logistical challenges for Speed of Sound, it resulted in a real lack of continuity for my child and many of the lessons were spent familiarizing with new, random teachers and revisiting material that had already been taught. The school also instituted a policy whereby clients were not able to cancel or change lessons due to scheduling conflicts; I can understand this for group lessons, but when you're paying $70 an hour for a private lesson the lack of flexibility and randomized teacher assignment proved too much for us... We ultimately decided to enlist a private teacher outside of Speed of Sound. and have been very happy with the choice.

They created a warm, safe, loving environment for children and parents alike. I remember my son would run to them after every class and give them the biggest hugs. Their music is fun and rockin and listening to the CD's in the car (on repeat) was actually fun for the whole family.....we still sing some of the songs years later! I believe this early exposure to music is part of why Reed, now almost 8 years old, is studying the guitar and in choir at school. Such a wonderful foundation and a place to build community with like minded mamas and papas. I highly recommend for anyone with a young child or infant!
