Charleston, South Carolina, United States
I had no idea what a great teacher was and went through four piano teachers at a local music store in two years. We were so blessed to find Miss Dolly. My kid loves her and is really improving at piano now.
J.W., Charleston SC
Dolly knew how to prepare me for college auditions. With her help I received a music scholarship to the University of Michigan. I am now a secondary music teacher and I can never thank her enough.
K.J., Ann Arbor MI
Ms Paul's passion to see me succeed at being my personal best went beyond the music studio. She is a true mentor who cares about her students.
LaQuisha R., Detroit MI
As an older student the covid virus concerns me. Online piano lessons allow me the safety of staying in my home while having an excellent piano tutor to help me reach my goals.
R.T., Waxhaw NC
We homeschooled all of our children. Miss Dolly was the ideal piano and music theory teacher for a houseful of children. She was encouraging and clear about what she expected from each child. She would make special worksheets, or create games for our children if they didn't understand a lesson. She is a wonderful teacher of music.
