Testimonials

"Tracy's approach to teaching blows up all the harmful lessons from childhood that many adults carry of needing to please, fear and anxiety!  She offers music lessons within a collaborative relationship.   The desire for music comes from the student who invites her into their space for coaching and guidance...not for judgement.  What a freeing and joyful way to learn!  An older person, my hands have started failing.   Rather than push me to do things that may make matters worse, Tracy works with me to create music with what is available.   She is the best teacher for anyone who wants to love their music!  I couldn't recommend her more highly!"
- Geri Amori, Shelburne, VA

"Learning to play the piano again with Tracy after a decades-long absence has sparked in me a new love for my music. Experiencing her joyful, nurturing and insightful teaching, I've been able to shed the uncomfortable confines and rigidity of my childhood lessons. I've developed a heartfelt yearning to play the piano again. Tracy's delightfully enlightened and mindful approach to teaching has gifted me with the ability and freedom to hear and feel the music deeply within my mind, body and soul as I play."    - Barb Pryce, Kaleden, BC
