TESTIMONIALS
Parent
We have several children taking piano lessons from Morgan, and we are extremely impressed by her musical ability as well as her skill in teaching. She is very motivating and encouraging to each student and connects well with each different personality. We have five students (ages 5 - 18) taking lessons from her right now, and she is excellent at working with a wide variety of ages and skill levels. My children really enjoy playing the piano, and we all look forward to seeing her each week! We give Morgan our highest recommendations! - Jonathan & Kara, 2019

Student
Thank you for being such a great teacher! You are very skilled at teaching the small details that I think make the difference between an okay pianist and an excellent one. The thing I most enjoy about playing piano is playing a song that I really like and have learned well enough that I can add dynamics, feeling, etc. - especially when I have worked really hard on a song that was extremely difficult for me. I love being able to put it all together and play it over and over. I love getting to the point where a song is no longer "just notes", but also full of feeling and very musical. - Kaitlyn, 2019

Morgan has a special ability to engage and teach all abilities and interest levels! She is gentle, patient, and makes learning to play the piano fun! She is in tune to teach child's specific interests and incorporates that into their lessons to keep them engaged. Morgan is a very gifted pianist with a heart for teaching and a love for children. We could not have found a better piano teacher!
