Welcome to my Music Studio where you can learn the skills you need to reach your musical dreams. It's a privilege to collaborate with students pre-school through geriatrics. Together we explore the satisfying process of reaching musical goals. After earning a Bachelor of Music Education, I studied Kodaly Music Education while applying the methodology in school and studio. I offer over 30 years performing and teaching experience along with a genuine enjoyment of people.

She is a dynamic teacher..her style of meeting my sons gift' s is amazing ! She has taught him so much. He enjoys going to his lessons
Edna is a great teacher! I played piano off and on for many years, and wanted to refresh my memory. Edna has been very helpful and supportive with helping me achieve my goals. She's also very patient and flexible with scheduling.
Please, right from Day 1, I can see that she is a woman who knows what she is doing, and with humility, teaches it to others. I am so glad to have met her.
My son has learned so much and he loves playing and is such a good piano player. I love watching him play. Very good teacher and very nice
You could not possibly be disappointed/displeased with the instruction from Edna.
Best piano instructor I've had. Very kind, and friendly environment in her home when I took lessons. It was a great experience learning from her!
Edna is a seasoned professional with proven experience in developing a wide range of students at varying skill levels. Her passion for music and teaching is evident, and she goes 'the extra mile' to creatively tailor her approach to each student's goals, needs, and musical preferences. She also incorporates music theory, history, and a variety of performance opportunities into her studio options. My sons have greatly enjoyed musical activities with Edna, and as a music teacher myself (now out-of-state), I highly recommend her.
