    I was getting ready for an important audition for college and also a piano competition. Miss Judith really helped me polish up my pieces and gave me ideas about how to play with more expression. She cares a lot and went that extra mile to help. She helped me greatly.

    Judith Has been a great teacher for me. It's my hobby and staying home and meeting online is so easy and relaxing. She is helpful especially with technics. I paid a lot more for other teachers online but my dollar went a lot further with her because she is a professional teacher who knows how to help you. I highly recommend.

    I am a mom and my daughter and I both study with Miss Judy. She is positive and helpful. She tries to always get me the music and songs I want to play. My skills have really improved since I started with her. I even built up the confidence to perform at a small party we had at our home! My little girl absolutely loves her too and always wants to be at the piano now!
