CHRIS
After unsuccessfully trying to learn how to play the piano through apps, I have spent the last year growing more than I thought possible through my lessons with Anna. She provides a fun and friendly environment that will help a student at any skill level become the best version of the pianist they want to be.
JENNY
I've been taking lessons from Anna for five years now and I will tell you one thing. She actually cares. She cares about music and she cares about you as a person. I'm grateful that I still learn something new from her every lesson and that she still finds ways to inspire and reassure me in my studies.
JONAH
I had hoped that when I picked up piano again last year that I’d still be seriously going at it months later. Since we started our lessons I have even higher aspirations now on what I want to achieve with piano than when I was learning on my own and I have Anna to thank for that.
FAQ WITH ANNA
WHAT ARE THE LESSON LOGISTICS?
Automatic online payments save you time. Lessons are done via Zoom. Easy, hassle-free online rescheduling.
DO YOU ONLY TEACH ADULTS?
Short answer: Yes.
Long Answer: Yes, I only teach adults.
WHEN/WHAT DO YOU CHARGE?

WHAT'S THE SETUP LIKE?
Your setup: All you need is a functioning webcam and the ability to set it up to the side of your instrument. Well, and once you start the actual lessons, you'll also need the actual instrument.
Anna's setup: See the tour of the studio.
SO... WHAT DO YOU DO BESIDES PIANO?
I absolutely love camping, rollerblading, cooking good food, journaling, reading, and generally learning new things. In addition to holding a BA in music, I have extensive education in STEM and currently work in hematology research. I also play video games and am quite a bit of a nerd. So if you want to learn music from Zelda, you're totally in the right place.
