I am a classically-trained pianist with a Bachelor of Arts in Music and concentrations in Piano Pedagogy (a fancy word for teaching) and Arranging.  I am also a Nationally Certified Teacher of Music in Piano through MTNA.  I have been teaching piano since 2017, and I love helping my students succeed in their goals at the piano.  I teach classical piano at the beginning, intermediate, and early advanced levels; and I have advanced teaching software to make your online lessons easy-to-follow and fun!

In high school and college, my favorite subject was English - so it is no surprise that I also teach writing through TakeLessons!  I have an Associate of Arts in Education, and I enjoy helping my students learn the art and craft of writing.  Whether you are working on a school assignment or writing a book, I would love to help you organize your ideas, find your unique style, and begin writing!

Learn to write with structure and creativity - and enjoy the process!  From the very first lesson, you will learn how to structure or outline any writing project, and you will adapt this structure to your particular assignment or project.  Makayla is patient, thorough, and engaging.  After only a few lessons, you will be well on your way to writing high-quality works, improving your grades, and finding enjoyment in the art and craft of writing.

My daughter is a reluctant writer. Makayla was gentle and enthusiastic with her and everything went well. I look forward to their work together and helping my daughter improve in her writing.

It took me a while to find the worship teacher I was looking for...and then Makayla came my way.  In half a year, she made my dream happening. It's a joy to learn chord playing, accompaniment patterns, fills, ...whilst singing for the LORD, our Creator. And I also feel confident now to play hymns, in a more reflective style, at my Church.  Makayla is amazing and makes learning so easy and fun.  What a blessing she is. 

My desire to play the piano never escaped my thoughts despite many fruitful years spent in my chosen career. Hence, when I finally retired, I felt was time for me to revisit the past and take the chance to see if I can still fulfill, even just in part, what I have left unaccomplished.  I am in my seventies now and this seems to be impossible. Nonetheless, I thought there was no harm in trying, and it was at this point in time when I got in touch with Ms. Makayla.

She learned about my case and after which I was completely surprised in awe to have witnessed the most gleeful and encouraging reaction from her.  It was truly exhilarating as she rekindled my long lost dream.  Makayla is one most positive motivator par excellence. Age limit is not an issue with her. Instead, she gives much premium to enthusiasm, excitement and affection for the endeavor on hand.  Whether or not aptitude indicates you being a fast or slow learner, Makayla accords such remarkable patience in making her students persevere and be determined to learn.  Her consistently pleasant and friendly attitude towards her student makes her genuinely likable and a great delight to work and relate with. My piano sessions have been going on for several months now, and both Makayla and I are extremely happy and completely satisfied with my progress.  I couldn't ask for more!  

I would definitely vouch for and absolutely recommend her to everyone wishing to experience the joy of piano lessons. 


I've been thrilled with Makayla's work with our two boys who've improved their writing tremendously over the last few months. They look forward to their sessions and are getting in the consistent habit of writing and revising their work. Highly recommend Makayla!

I am an older student.  I wanted to learn worship songs for my own personal enrichment.  Makayla is truly the best teacher for this.  She is so patient and explains so well.  I have learned so much from her.

I am an older student and appreciate Makayla's desire to serve God.
She is a great teacher and portrays that same image  in the way she teaches. She keeps lessons fun and knows what music to give according to my ability. I highly recommend her .

My son is in 6th grade and coming into it from the elementary school, he was struggling with writing. He's beeing taking writing lessons with Ms. Makayla since summer this year and has shown a lot of progress in abiilty to express himself through writing in English. His writing grades are up! 

We are very happy with his progress and would recommend Ms. Makayla for any kids who could use help improve his/her writing skills.

My son is in 6th grade. He was struggling with writing, so we sought Ms. Makayla's help. He's been taking writing lessons with Ms. Makayla for several months now and his writing has improved a lot! His grades are up, so we are very happy with his progress.

I recommend Ms. Makayla if your child needs help with writing in English.

Makayla is an amazing teacher, she is so passionate, professional and very clear in her explanations.

Makayla is so very helpful and supportive. Knows how to introduce new concepts really well and makes sure you are progressing. My rhythm has gotten so much better since I started taking lessons with Makayla. So blessed to be taking lessons with her!

Very clear and well-organized instruction.  Her teaching tools (dual camera, piano keyboard simulator, notes) made it easy to absorb the lesson.

I am a colleague of Makayla’s from college. She was one of the most diligent teachers I have seen in our prep school. It is always said that just because you play piano doesn’t mean you know how to teach. But Makayla knows how to teach! She is able to break down concepts so any level of student receives a strong foundation and that was evidenced in all of her students that I observed.

Makayla is an very excellent teacher. She goes way above and beyond what is expected of a normal teacher. 
As we were both music majors in college, I observed her diligence in her work and her high dedication to her students and teachers! 
She is very observant to the needs around her and is a very giving person, which has transferred into whatever she does in music.
