I love it because I can use it with the very young as well as on the college level with my private and group piano students. The wide scope of material allows […]

I have been teaching for over 30 years and am thrilled with The Piano Lesson! It is so convenient to have several books melded into one.

Ms. Elise is wonderful to work with!  My daughter has been with her for 7 years now and I’m very satisfied with her progress.  Ms. Elise is a fun and dedicated teacher.  I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an amazing teacher.

Elise provided a well-rounded music education for my son.  He took lessons with her for 6 years and loved every minute.  He not only learned piano, but theory and music history.
