Arlene is a great piano teacher — for kids and adults. She is patient, understanding, goes at the student’s pace, adapts the lessons to meet the student’s goals, and doesn’t put undue stress and pressure on practicing. In other words, she doesn’t scare the kids away by being strict and rigid. Students start playing simple songs right away, which gives them a sense of enjoyment, satisfaction, and fulfillment. Arlene teaches the Suzuki method. At $ 35 for a 30-minute lesson, her prices are very reasonable. HIGHLY recommend!
