Testimonials
"Getting used to practicing piano each day has helped my son recognize better study habits. He can study a little each day like piano and it is much less stressful the day before a test." Debra F., mother of Jared (piano), Hebron
"I feel like I have learned a lot throughout my lessons and my sightreading and piano skills have improved greatly. (Lessons were) very productive and individually paced based on your ability." Jordan H., piano, Petersburg
"I welcomed and responded well to positive reinforcements (encouragement) and constructive criticism that are cornerstone to Dawn's teaching style. Dawn has done much to build my confidence performing before others." Barbara W., adult voice student, Burlington
"Dawn's natural ability to teach a student as young as my son made his experience not only better, but he wanted to do well. My son started with Dawn and has gained a huge appreciation for playing and listening. He has done very well and Dawn has trained his hands to match his ear. He listens to music with intensity now as well. Jacob loves sharing what he knows and now music is one of those areas. Playing is not a job but a joy. He plays by himself and it excites him." Becky O., mother of Jacob (piano), Burlington
"My daughter has had an extremely positive introduction to learning the piano and how to read music. There was an excellent balance of playing time and written work to learn notes. My daughter has been able to improve her level of focus and commitment in other areas such as school and homework. I attribute some of this improvement to having lessons and weekly goals." Melody Y., mother of Abbie (piano), Cincinnati
"My range has broadened, my volume and stage presence has increased greatly. I am able to sing much more challenging pieces. I have been introduced to a broad repertoire. You have always been a magnificent teacher and I cannot describe what an honor it has been to be your pupil. I have learned so many things from you and I have improved greatly. I have changed as a person because of you and it has affected every part of my life, all for the better. ...not only were you my teacher, but my friend." Dani H., voice, Burlington
"I enjoyed taking lessons from Dawn. I've taken lessons from a few other instructors, but above all, Dawn has helped me the most. She has really developed me as a performer." Moriah F., piano and voice, Burlington
“Dawn has been an absolute joy to work with. Her enthusiasm and method of teaching is such a positive experience. I always look forward to my lessons.” Jennifer B., adult voice student, Hebron
