"I am in my 50s and always wanted to return to piano after taking lessons as a child. My lessons with Petra wildly improved both my technique and my understanding of musicality. With her I played everything from Beethoven to Thelonious Monk and I was able to work solely on the pieces that I was interested in. She was very understanding of my busy schedule and really tailored the lessons to fit my interests which I so appreciated.
Music is my life's language, and I'm passionate about helping others speak it fluently. As a music producer pianist and flutist for the past 5 years, I tailor my teaching to each student. Join me, and let's create something beautiful together!
