I have four kids, and all of them are lucky enough to have Myrna as their teacher! When I started with my oldest years ago, I was skeptical that this music program would work. I had never heard of the Yamaha method and had no idea what solfage was. Skip ahead to now, and my oldest can now compose her own music; listen to a song on the radio and play parts of it at home, and can read music! Her ears are so well trained to hear the music I feel her musical understanding is so amazing for what little time she has been with Myrna that I am totally sold on the whole thing. ALL my kids are doing so well, training their ears, and enjoying piano so much. Unlike private tutoring that felt so unconnected and disjointed, this program builds off each lesson and has such fluidity. My 4 year old just started and can't get enough! I am so beyond thankful for this music school and Myrna! This is a hidden gem and I highly recommend!

Myrna has been teaching our 7yo for a few weeks with online classes. She is very experienced and engaging! Our kiddo loves these classes and it is a great way to keep her mind growing during quarantine...
