About Petra

I have been playing piano for 18 years and have taught it to student of various ages, from children to adults. My approach is judgement free and focused on the individual goals of each student!

What students say...

"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.
