About Monique
I began teaching piano as a teenager, and later had the pleasure of teaching my own children in addition to countless others. Many of my students have grown to be fine musicians of many instruments, and lovers of music as a vital part of their lives. I am especially inspired by the work of Shinichi Suzuki, whose method not only informs my work with piano students but my work as an educator, a parent, and a friend. Suzuki believed that we are not ‘born’ with a special talent for music, but that all of us can learn to play beautifully when given the gift of musical education. I agree with his words, "Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited." I tailor my time with my students to their unique backgrounds, experiences, and interests, and at the same time most lessons include confidence-building and repertoire to support overall growth and musical skill. My overarching goal for each student, in the end, is to nurture, along with proficiency, a true love of music!
I have been playing piano since I was eight, and started teaching when I was in high school. I've loved every minute of sharing the joy of music with my students! I am particularly inspired by Shinichi Suzuki's philosophy, the great Japanese violinist and teacher, who developed the Suzuki method. He taught that musical ability is not an inborn talent but one that can be developed in anybody, but must be "nurtured with love". His method has inspired me as a teacher, a mother, a student, and a human being. I use his repertoire as the basis for my beginning and intermediate students, supplementing with sight reading and technique books, and I believe that this approach is both effective and super fun for students of all ages!

My daughter is taking lessons from Ms. Abbett and I cannot say enough about how wonderful she is as a teacher and music mentor. Her style of teaching is open, inviting and honoring of my daughter's interests and abilities. My daughter loves going to her lesson each week!
Monique taught me when I was a young teen in Ashland. At the time I was trying to find my place in the musical world playing piano, trombone, and french horn. During the two years that she taught me piano, Monique consistently took the time to ensure that I actually enjoyed the songs that we were working on and was having fun. This was a sharp and appreciated contrast to other music teachers I had had in the past.
I took lessons from Monique a long while back when I was in Elementary and middle school. She was the best music teacher I ever had and became a lifetime friend. She gave me the fundamentals of music through the Suzuki method and have me a lifelong passion for music.
Monique brings so much love to her work and is a brilliant teacher. I'm really glad she's teaching again and would highly recommend teaching out to her.Monique taught me piano when she was living in Ashland and I was in elementary school! She was such a great teacher, and I loved my Suzuki volumes one and two recitals. All my friends came! I still remember all the pieces I learned by heart. I still play piano all the time, and I started playing Suzuki violin too at Ashland High School. Thanks Monique! You gave me the foundation I needed and the love of music I still have today!
I like my piano lessons with Monique! She is a great teacher. I'm learning Little Playmates and Chant Arabe and pretty soon I get to do my Volume One Suzuki recital for my friends and family. It's cool.

I work with my students on a quarterly basis, with flexible scheduling. We meet 10X per quarter, as some families choose to study during the summer, and others choose to take summers off. I'm super flexible :).
