    Maria is the best possible teacher for any student of the piano. She is steeped in the classical, European tradition, she holds a Phd in piano (!) and she is a dedicated teacher. She has worked miracles with my middle school aged granddaughter. I would recommend her to anyone.

    Maria is a true professional! Her style of teaching is perfect for anyone looking to play the piano for the first time, to those seeking to master Mozart. I hired Maria to teach my two daughters ages 16 and 12. Maria started with instilling the basics in my daughters for a solid foundation. Her teaching style allowed my daughters to take their piano skills as far as they want because she set them up for success. Today my oldest daughter is now 17 and composing her own music. While my youngest daughter has been able to take the lessons on music (piano) taught to her by Maria and is applying them to her other instruments like the saxophone and violin. No matter your level or goal Maria will help you and push you to achieve it! I could not recommend her enough.

    I am a 19 year old music major at UT. Im currently taking lessons with Maria and am amazed by her vast knowledge of various styles and eras of music and her ability to give me practical tools to perform pieces with accuracy and beauty. She always has something insightful to say to guide me in my musical development.
