Weekly lessons are private 1-on-1 sessions designed to help you reach your maximum potential and discover your gifts in music! We have performance opportunities throughout the year (no extra cost unless there is a fee to enter). We explore a wide range of styles in the vast world of music, and build according to your strengths. I look forward to taking this journey with you!
30-minute weekly private sessions
Great for beginners! We explore basics, history, theory, improvisation, and songs you love! I also make sure you establish good technique and habits for your practice for the long run.
Great for intermediate levels when the songs get a little bit longer, and also great for beginners who want to have enough time for a deeper dive in their lessons.
1-hour lessons are great as the songs get longer, the practice becomes a more developed part of your life, and you are starting to really love spending time with your instrument. Perfect for intermediate / advanced, or even if two people want to take lessons together.

"She's very patient and she will answer all questions and won't move on to the next lesson until you feel comfortable. She goes above and beyond and I highly recommend utilizing her as an instructor. Elizabeth has a great personality and I wish I would have started by beginning lessons with her a long time ago."

“Elizabeth has been my 12 yr old's piano teacher for about 1.5 years & my 15 yr old's flute teacher for about 1 year. She has a great disposition with the kids and is patient. She has taught them to play duets with each other and with herself which is important for the musician to learn. Elizabeth is very talented as she plays different genres of music with her flute & piano!"

"Elizabeth has been my teenage son's piano teacher for going on two years now. She has been such a wonderful teacher and my son absolutely loves her! It's so rare to find someone like her who takes such a genuine interest in their students' development. She is a teacher who has gone above and beyond to broaden the horizons for her students, and she's personable and makes it fun! She may not even realize it but she has been, and is, a key part of my son's future and my only regret is that we didn't find her sooner. If you're looking for a teacher for a child or even for yourself, you can't do better than Elizabeth!"

“Hey it's kinda a stretch, but I used to be one of your students for piano and I just wanted to say even though piano isn't my first choice, I can't have anyone to thank more for the passion I have for music and how happy it makes me.”

"I attended piano and flute lessons with Elizabeth for almost 10 years. She’s so so supportive and became a sort of mentor for me over the years. She always pushed me to try new things and explore my passion for music. I always enjoyed our lessons! She made them fun and interactive, while also making sure I was learning to reach my full potential. She unlocked so many doors and opportunities for me. Because of her, I was able to excel greatly in music composition, theory, and just playing instruments in general. I would definitely recommend her for any student looking to explore music!"

“I’ve been taking music and piano lessons with Elizabeth for the past year. While I had beginner piano lessons as a child and have dabbled on and off as an adult, one of my main goals was to feel comfortable accompanying my voice on piano—covering songs and eventually writing my own. Elizabeth helped fill in the gaps in my foundation, gave me clear structure for practicing, and most importantly, helped build my confidence in both performing and playing with others. Beyond the technical skills, she supported me in reconnecting with music in a deeply meaningful way - one that allowed me to process grief after a series of losses. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and can’t recommend her highly enough as a music teacher. She truly meets you where you are and helps you get where you want to go. Thank you Elizabeth!!!”
