We absolutely love Holly! My daughter has been taking piano lessons with her for 2+ years and she totally enjoys their time together. She keeps the lessons fun and interesting but is also focused on teaching music. Holly is very talented, knowledgeable and it's very obvious that she loves working with kids. -Mel B.
I was a student of Holly's for 12 years, and I have to say, not only is she incredibly patient, encouraging, and positive, but she is one of the most musically talented people I know. I always thought that to be good at pianist, you had to practice, practice, practice. Not so with Holly. She showed me that the best music is played with passion. Every time I left her studio, I felt more inspired to actually play with heart instead of playing the right notes on the page. I highly recommend her for students of all ages and piano skill levels. -Tiffany P.
As someone who studied piano for 12 years growing up, when it came time to select a piano teacher for my beginner daughter I had lofty goals. I was on the hunt for someone who was patient to instill the basics and make it fun, but also someone creative who could spark a lifelong passion for any type of music and performing. Miss Holly was the perfect choice and delivered both outcomes! We've had to cut our time short due to a move but will take her 'with us' as a true teacher. Having seen the wide range of her students (from beginner to advanced) in recitals, I'd recommend Holly's School of Music for any level of piano student. -Erika S.
I am a bonafide helicopter parent with an incessant need to create a well-rounded child, and I had a child with ZERO interest in music. Do you see how this combination could be a pressure cooker just waiting to explode?
Good news is that my daughter now loves piano. She reaches for her keyboard when she's stressed, she plays beautifully, and she continues to challenge herself with new pieces.
Holly is not only flexible in her approach and schedule, she gets that this is a journey and there is no one teaching style that rules them all. Holly has given our daughter a lifelong skill and would recommend her to anyone. -Emma S.

Holly is a fantastic piano teacher. My young daughter has been taking piano lessons with Holly, and she has made this such a fun experience for her. Holly personalizes the lessons to build on the strengths of the individual student, and she looks for ways to improve challenge areas. Regardless of your age, if you're looking to learn how to play the piano, Holly is an instructor I highly recommend. -Karen M.
I was a student of Holly's for piano in a youth center. She taught me the basics in little time, and it inspired me to take a piano class. What she taught me was very helpful because she broke down step by step for me to understand and I was completely new to Piano playing. She has a lot of patience compared to other piano teachers I have seen. When she plays the piano, she played with passion. I recommend her! -Christina P.
My daughter takes piano lessons from Holly and we love her. Holly is professional in every sense. Her in-home piano studio is very lovely. There is a nice and comfortable waiting area for parents and siblings that is divided by a sliding glass door so the student and teacher has some privacy. The curriculum seems engaging and fun. If I had someone like Holly as my piano teacher when I was young, I probably would have stuck with it instead of quitting. -Sue K.
Holly is great with kids. I take my 7 year old daughter for piano lessons and Holly is very patient and keeps my daughter's interest, as well as rewards her with stickers (which she loves!) for work well done. I recommend Holly's School of Music for any parent who is interested in having his/her child play piano. -Leslie T.
Holly was an excellent piano instructor! I needed some serious help two days before a piano final, and Holly was willing to help pull a miracle on such a short notice. Holly was VERY patient with me and VERY kind. She was able to tailor my lessons to my poor level of skill . I was able to improve greatly with just two days of lessons, which led me to receive an A on my fina!! I know I couldn't have pulled this off without Holly's help. I loved how she has an eye for skill because she can zero in on where you need the help. She is very precise! She breaks the lessons down in chunks in her own unique way which I absolutely love! She has inspired me to continue playing the piano! I plan on returning to her even though my piano class at school has ended. I highly recommend her! -Gabriela R.
