Ms Jane was the only person who ‘sang’ the melodic line, emphasized musicality over other things (such as exact notes/rhythm, which would naturally improve over time), and explained things using metaphors so that kids would absorb her teachings (hand should move “like a tiger walking in the jungle,” she gave them squishes as presents and placed them on the piano keys so that kids would know how it feels to press into the keys, she had the kids do finger pushups against the wall to imitate the weight and grace of playing piano). She is firm, thorough, compassionate, and encouraging. She is technically trained but can relate to kids and readily impart her knowledge. She is truly a gem amongst the sea of piano teachers out there.” Kathy

“Ms. Jane is a naturally gifted musician and teacher. As a piano player myself, I was quite selective in finding a piano teacher for my children. I probably interviewed and/or did trial lessons for over 15 teachers.

“Ms. Jane is incredible! She is a patient, fun, intelligent and excellent teacher who focuses on building an strong base, such as proper technique and theory, from which to learn. Ms. Jane has been working at home with our 5 year old son (who was not the easiest pupil at times) and in a short time has him very interested in piano and completing in his first recital. Andrew (now 6), looks forward to his weekly lessons, earning his "piano bucks" and volunteers to do his own practice! We feel so lucky to have found Ms. Jane and look forward to Andrew's progression (he wants to play level 10 !)” Greg

“Jane is a fantastic piano teacher and has worked with our two kids for several years now. We had tried other teachers before finding Jane and none of them could compare to the exceptional talent, experience, professionalism, and dedication that Jane brings to each lesson. Since she has been teaching our kids, they have both scored in the top 10% for theory and practical level testing. We feel so lucky to have Jane teaching our children.” Lei S.

“Top-notch! Jane is super talented, but such a natural at teaching as well. She has a gift for making it easy to understand. Jane runs a beautifully balanced piano education program emphasizing technique, theory and musicality at each stage of the student’s development. She's been teaching my daughter for 8 years who scored with the high honer the musical theory and piano practice examinations on all levels. She is a gifted teacher and I recommend her to you unconditionally.” Inna

“We are fortunate to have Jane as a piano teacher for Sohum. She has been very patient and at the same time persistent in guiding Sohum (9 yo boys can be quite something :)). She focuses on all aspects of piano teaching including sight reading, piano theory as well as extensive practice. She tries to find piano pieces that challenge students at the same time suit the students personality. We highly recommend Jane.” Milind
