About Abby

I am passionate about teaching students of all ages the joys of Music and Language. My approach to Piano Instruction is holistic and differentiated to each student. I often integrate whole body movement such as clapping and stepping to help students internalize essential rhythmic patterns in music.

Patterns are paramount and I encourage students to identify patterns in harmonic relationships, phrases, and to help them find links between musical expression and verbal and cultural expression. My aim is for our lessons to be high-energy, welcoming, and cognitively stimulating. The supreme goal of a teacher is to foster a students' sense of self-efficacy by encouraging them to try, fail, discover, fix and create!

Perfect! Abby is a great piano teacher! She is very knowledgeable, patient, and easy to work with. She has been very flexible about accommodating my daughter's sports schedule by switching days, times, and shortening or lengthening lessons as needed. Her prices are very reasonable and I love the update that she sends me after each lesson so that I know what my daughter should be working on. Would highly recommend!

Perfect! Abby is an exceptional teacher. I have had three piano instructors in my training and she is the best. Abby is caring, patient, and knowledgable. She makes learning fun and enjoyable. I look forward to my lessons. She is phenomenal in helping with difficult fingerings, chord progressions, and musical theory. I enjoy my time learning from her and always look forward to the next week.

Abby has been a wonderful teacher, mentor and piano instructor to my children who are ages 7 and 10 since August, 2017. Abby is passionate about music and is an excellent piano instructor as she understands how to teach everything from the fundamentals to higher levels of music to different age groups. Abby’s broad range of music experience, her desire to teach children and attention to detail are what make her an outstanding music teacher. I highly recommend Abby and her group classes.

I have been taking "virtual" lessons for a little over six months now and can attest that Abby is a wonderful and very patient teacher. Starting to learn piano later in life, it has been a long time since I've had exposure to music basics, but Abby has been happy to answer any questions and is constantly offering encouragement. I've been particularly impressed with the way she crafts and personalizes practice assignments, ensuring focus on any areas I've struggled with recently. I also enjoy that Abby often throws in historical tidbits for added context, or little tie-ins to other fields of study. These enhance the lessons and often aid with remembering the topic at hand.
