Dr. B has been a very effective piano teacher. She is classically trained and has two Ph.D's in music. My daughter has made great progress in music reading and playing under Dr. B's tutelage. I love it that she comes to the house to give the lessons. It is very convenient. Dr. B also has a sweet heart and has become part of the family. I highly recommend her skills as a piano teacher.
