What Piano Families Say:

We LOVE Ms. Valerie. She is such a gifted teacher. She was able to connect and teach my two very different daughters to play and love piano. Her hands-on, unique teaching style taught them the foundation of music.

Valerie's style of teaching was perfect for my very shy child. My daughter quickly opened up. She loved the games that were incorporated with each sit down piano lesson.

Mrs. Merrell taught 4 of my children, 2 boys and 2 girls, for 2 years. She was able to challenge them each at their own levels, which ranged from beginning to advanced. She showed patience, understanding, excitement for their improvement, and an all-around love of teaching music.

Valerie is extremely qualified and educated in music education and performance! She gave my kids a great foundation in piano.
