“Jackie is a fun and interactive teacher that I highly recommend for all ages and skill levels. She has a great attitude and personality that makes lessons so much more fun. Teaches you everything you need to know, while tailoring the lesson that suits you the best. For me, a 15 year old beginner, she made an easy lesson play for me to follow that wasn’t hard to keep up with at all. She has bee my teacher for close to a year and I have no regrets!!! I look forward to the years to come and you should too!!!” — Russel G., Tujunga, CA
“Jackie is a wonderful teacher. Patient, talented and able to determine my level of playing and immediately provide a course of help from there.
I had been reticent about going back and learning and practicing piano after not playing for decades. Jackie has helped me take the big step and I look forward to coming back for many more lessons.
If you are thinking about starting in on the journey, Jackie is a great choice — try her, you’ll like her!” — Philip L., Studio City, CA
“I’ve been taking from Jackie for about six months, now. I had taken piano as a child, and was always regretful that I had not applied myself more. I decided to take up piano again in my mid-fifties in lieu of doing Sudoku…and boy, am I glad I did. Jackie promptly responded to my e-mail inquiry, and followed up with a phone call. I set an appointment to have her assess my skill set. I immediately felt comfortable with her. The nice thing was we talked about what kind of music I like and Jackie was extremely helpful in helping me find the right music to learn with, so that I actually enjoyed practicing piano. I was very relieved, because I was afraid of being stuck with first grade music primary books, but Jackie helped me pick music I loved from my youth, and I soon found myself playing and singing along! I never imagined I could do such a thing, but it was a secret wish I had all these years, and part of my regret, that I could not accompany myself singing. I can now do so. Jackie has given me lots of tips and tricks to take the nervousness out of my playing and singing. Furthermore, Jackie is a really nice and interesting person with a kind heart.” — Molly B., Sherman Oaks, CA
