I am one of Jessa’s students and I just wanted to tell everyone what an amazing piano teacher she is. She was so encouraging and I never became a good music reader until I started lessons with her . I am going to miss her a lot.
Jessa is a wonderful piano teacher! She is kind and understanding while also encouraging excellence. My daughter improved her sight reading and musicality significantly after only a year with Jessa.
First lesson in home ... wonderful !!!!
