Summer is the best! She has introduced them to many different genres of music, which they have particularly enjoyed. In that way, she has not only taught them to play the piano excellently but has instilled in them an appreciation for music. In addition to being super-nice, patient, open-minded and very well organized, she challenges her students ceaselessly and pushes them to reach their potential. She employs a variety of different teaching methods and adjusts her style to the learner in front of her. My children related to her extremely well and they loved her. Highly recommend.

Summer is a fantastic teacher. As a not-quite-beginner who has been frustrated by teachers in the past that always seem disappointed by my progress or adhere too strictly to a specific teaching methodology, Summer has been a breath of fresh air. She's an exceptionally talented pianist, has guided me through some pieces I couldn't hope to have negotiated on my own, and I'm already seeing the benefits of her guidance on technique and musical theory. Genuinely the best piano teacher I've had.

Summer is an amazing piano teacher. Her positive, encouraging and professional demeanor is like no other. She teaches 3 of my children piano:ages 14, 10, & 8 & she caters to each of their individual personalities, abilities and learning styles. I am amazed at how far each of them have come in just a year. It is so nice to see each of them sit down at the piano and just relax and have fun playing a tune. She has instilled a confidence in them that carries over into every aspect of their life. We are so grateful that the kids have fallen in love with piano, but I completely attribute that love to Summer’s style of teaching.

After taking piano lessons from several different instructors, I finally found my Zen teacher! Summer is super talented, but she is also kind, patient and always encouraging. I’m an adult student and she is the perfect “musical guide”, giving me confidence and helping me tap into my own creativity. We work on music that I am interested in and using these songs she injects technique drills, listening/musicality exercises, introduces new skills, and gives practice tips. If you are looking for an instructor who holistically teaches music and musicality (not just scales and the correct hand position) then you are in the right place. I wish I could give her more than five stars!
