About Me
Samantha started taking piano lessons at age 3 from her mother, who was also a music teacher. She played piano continuously through school, and also learned to play clarinet, guitar, flute, trumpet and sax, often playing different instruments in her school's band.

Student Feedback

worth of lessons. I would highly recommend her to anyone! I am blown
away by the music that comes out of the Piano from a 7 and 11 year old.
My 11 year old signed up for her first music competition at school. If
you told me one year ago I would have girls playing a piano, I would not
believe you. I truly thought they would quit after a couple of months.
Not the case. They are musically talented and still love it. Thanks to
Samantha D! They are now thriving in the in-school music program.
Thank you, TakeLessons, for filtering out the best teachers. When a
child has a small window of interest, you have to grab it the right
way...the wrong teacher would not have given me these results.

My granddaughter, Katelynn, enjoys her trumpet lessons with Samantha. Samantha is caring, seems to enjoy teaching & has patience; which is needed since Katelynn needs a little extra attention learning things

Maureen C, Highly Recommend her!
My daughters (10, & 6) have only had three lessons with Samantha! They love it. Her nature is kind and welcoming. She can tell how much they can handle so doesn't overwhelm them with too much theory or pieces to play. She strikes a nice balance. My 10 year old started composing her own song when she became bord with the beginner book! Samantha has added to this excitement and changed her teaching style to match my daughters learning style. My daughter was beaming! Samantha has taught her how to take the next pieces of theory and add it to her song. She also ordered music my daughter enjoys like Selena Gomez. My 6 year old is excited every week and doesn't want to be late. My husband and I thought this would be just another thing to start and quit. So far they are going strong!
