Piano

Hello and thank you for stopping!  I am a certified piano teacher accredited by Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) and it is my great pleasure to help students of all ages learn the joys and wonders of piano playing.

I offer live and online lessons to students of all ages from my studio in Westfield in western Massachusetts.  An everyday piano lesson with me incorporates fun educational games and activities, piano improvisational exercises, music theory learning, and, of course, plenty of enjoyable music to practice at home!  

I also have some light experience working with students with special needs, and so welcome inquiries from parents with children with needs such as high-functioning autism.  

A little bit more about myself is that I earned my B.A. degree from the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University in New York, and I focused on musical studies at Mannes School of Music and at Hunter College, as a second degree music major at the latter college. 

Please take note that my calendar of availability is for the E.S.T. zone only; however, there may be some wiggle room that I can work out with you for online lesson in other time zones.

Be welcome to reach out, and I will be glad to respond as soon as I can!

I offer fun, engaging, and rewarding piano lessons to students in order to nurture their growth as musicians, whether they are just starting out or seeking to develop their skills and expand their repertoire.

I began my journey with piano as an adult and I could not be happier! Isabel really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the piano. Her positive attitude and gift for teaching piano has helped me come so far in just 6 months. I would highly recommend her.

Isabel is a passionate teacher who wants to help her students do their best. She is patient and kind. Also Isabel is very reliable and consistent. I recommend her to anyone looking to learn more about music!

having taught in the same school as Isabel I was able first to see her positive interaction with students of all ages. She is organized and well prepared.   Isabel is very professional and passionate and is more than qualified as an instructor.

I actually don't play the piano but Isabel also plays the guitar and she gave me some tips how to play my ukulele. She was very patient with me and this probably translates to her teaching other instruments.

Isabel is such a very talented lady!  When I met her a few years ago, I only had a touch of such talent.  I love learning so many cultural things from her through our friendship.  She has a beautiful gift of music, art, languages and much more that she continues to share with others and I am very grateful to be one of those receiving her amazing gifts!

Isabel is a superb teacher who brings out the best in her students!  They come in with a rudimentary knowledge of music and, over time, their musical abilities come to flourish thanks to her patience, encouragement, dedication and insight.

Isabel is a talented, caring, driven, and warm teacher whose passion for music radiates out into her love for her students. In this way music becomes a reflection of generosity for Isabel, a way of connecting people. Highly recommended.
