I am an adult and have been taking voice lessons with Valerie for a while. I enjoy my lessons because she is very friendly, courteous and professional with her teaching. She is a voice technician in making sure that my technique in warmups as well as in the actual songs practiced are good; never neglecting performance skills and enjoying the pieces. I’m learning to sing pieces in German, Latin, French etc. I always look forward to my lessons and am always reminded through the week that I should practice so that I can be prepared for each lesson. This is always her first question: Were you able to practice? She loves music and teaching and always challenges me not only with music but lessons in everyday life. If you are looking for a voice / piano teacher learning from Valerie will not be a loss but you will gain a lot of musical knowledge and skills from her.

We're so thankful for Valerie's gift of teaching music. Our child has grown in her musicality and diligence to practice, and practice well! In the last year, our child's love for piano has sky-rocketed under Valerie's tutoring!

Valerie began teaching our daughter piano lessons approximately two years ago. Valerie exhibits so much patience and commitment through helping our daughter develop her love for playing piano. We couldn't recommend Valerie enough, as her love for teaching shines through every lesson she teaches!
