Piano with Cherise S.

Hi I'm Cherise! I'm a lover of music and play several instruments including the violin, clarinet, ukelele and various percussive instruments. The piano was my first and longest music love. I began playing at about age 5 and got very serious about it in my teens. As an adult especially I've found so much joy in playing music in my home, especially alongside others. Almost more than I love playing music, I love teaching music. As an AMI certified Montessori teacher, I have a deep understanding of how the mind develops and I apply my knowledge of how to help people learn in my lessons. My goals are to help my students feel positive about playing music, and to see them make progress. I have a lot of patience and I know what it takes to play well. We have bi-yearly recitals on a grand piano for the families of my students. I'm always impressed with the results of their hard work. As a Montessori teacher I have a government issued fingerprint clearance card and am happy to show that before beginning lessons. Taking the journey of learning music with another person is amazing and I consider it an honor to be that person for each of my students. I hope you'll join me and discover what is possible through the piano!
