Work together to learn music weekly.
We celebrate when finishing pieces!
And then we share our music for others.
We had the pleasure of having Arielle teach our two daughters how to play the piano. She was referred to us by a friend and we are forever grateful. Our daughters not only learned how to play the piano but learn to love it. Arielle was always accommodating when things in our schedule would change. She is a truly a talented teacher and now cherished friend. We have and will continue to recommend Arielle.

Arielle is the best piano teacher you could want for your child. She's patient, kind, and knowledgeable. Her dedication really shows! She even took her own time to come watch my daughter play the piano at her school talent show. They had worked so hard together to get my daughter to perfect the song (A Thousand Years) and it was very rewarding for my daughter to share her proud moment with Arielle when she nailed the performance at the show. We couldn't have asked for a better teacher or friend.

I took lessons with Arielle for about 6 years, starting when I was in second grade. She’s the most gentle, patient, and flexible teacher. She not only cared about how I was progressing in piano, but also just with details of my life. Arielle would work around my busy schedule with soccer and band, and was so encouraging when all of it became overwhelming. Outside of being a teacher, she’s just a really kind person, and I highly recommend her as a teacher.

I am flexible! Virtual (multiple options) or in person lessons at my residence in Raleigh.
$20 - 30 minutes
$30 - 45 minutes (for more advanced students).
I try to provide all the music you need! I provide lesson as well as extra curriculum based on the student's interest.
Any music literature or sheet music I will inform you of the cost and you can pay it in the next week or so.
This is up to the family. I take cash, check, or venmo. Lessons need to be paid either in advance or the day of.
Life happens. However, if it occurs repeatedly I may charge a fee or need to adjust your lesson slot time.
There is no fee for missed lessons IF you give me advance notice! Family vacations, rest, and etc are so important. Everyone needs a mental health week (or MONTH) so do not feel bad cancelling lessons.
Lessons are one day a week. That leaves 6 days remaining each week. I encourage you to find 5 days in the week to practice. When you practice set a timer for 15-30 minutes (based on your skill level) and work on the songs assigned. Once you have played each song 3-5 times each then you can use the rest of time to play old favorites or maybe even create your own song! I love it when students send me a video of them practicing so go ahead and send me that video! :)
