At the Chevy Chase based studio, pianists learn on the Steinway B and and Steinway M grand pianos and can perform in as many as 10 in-person and virtual concerts during the academic year at no extra cost.
Pianists have many sharing opportunities to develop their confidence, engage with peers and listen to each other’s musical development. Pianists and their families also benefit from weekly progress reports, an online music library, and access and support from all of our studio teachers.
Vivian is a member of the National Piano Guild - American College of Musicians and Music Teachers National Association (MTNA).
COMMENTS FROM THE STUDIO...
You have truly taught me the power of sincerity, dedication, and the courage it takes to unabashedly sprint for my goals. These are lessons I will keep with me in all walks of life.
You are such a gifted teacher, and I'm so impressed with your Zoom skills! You have been our sunshine during this rainy, gray and difficult month.
My daughter learns so much from you and not just musically. Poise, presentation, public speaking, problem solving....
My piano teacher, Miss Vivian, is one of the best piano players in the world and is soooooo nice but makes me work hard. You have to be a serious student to work with her.
I'm super thrilled seeing such detailed comments and excited about where this is leading to. We are very grateful and glad that you accepted this request to mentor our son; he has never received such comments over the last 5 years since he started learning the piano
Before my daughter started lessons with you, I had to help her with the piano practice everyday and she was often frustrated. Now, she is so independent and can practice by herself! And naturally, she really enjoys playing piano. We can't be happier!
Your positivity, energy, and love of music come through in every interaction.
