Testimonials

“We truly appreciate your work with her and your approach to teaching. I personally love the way you make this an ‘art’ rather than simply going through the mechanics.”

“I love when my daughters get in the car and say, “That was a great lesson!”  We never had that with other lessons we have done.”

“Lisa is a gem. I have two lovely daughters who have very different personalities. She meets each one of them where they are, finds what motivates them as individuals and truly helps them develop not only musical skill but their own voice. She truly cares about each of her students and it shows.”

My two kids (ages 7 and 9) really enjoy studying piano with Lisa Gilbert. She does an excellent job of tailoring her lessons to appeal to their different personalities and learning styles. And she makes it fun! I’m impressed with how much their skills have developed since they began studying with her.

“Lessons with Lisa are both entertaining and educational. I started lessons with very little knowledge, but after a few lessons I could tell I was learning and getting better. Overall, I learned a lot about how to play – and had a lot of fun!”

“Following a few years of flute lessons that never really excited me, I ended up switching to lessons with Dr. Lisa Gilbert. Dr. Gilbert made me enjoy practicing for the first time, and this lead to great improvement from the stand still I was experiencing. She is very flexible when it comes to personal goals and preferences while maintaining high enough standards to encourage growth and skill development. I am now studying flute at the college level and can honestly say I wouldn’t be here without Dr. Gilbert’s help.”

“Dr. Gilbert keeps my daughter motivated to practice by using strategies that allow room for student choice. She understands the demands of families who are balancing school and extracurricular activities with a flexible approach to student habits. I highly recommend Dr. Gilbert for parents looking for a personal approach to encouraging their budding musician’s talents.”

“When our daughter decided to take lessons, we were thrilled but reluctant to begin the piano lesson battle that we remembered from childhood. But Dr. Gilbert is not your mother’s piano teacher! Within minutes of her first lesson, our daughter was able to have autonomy over her practice with improvisational pieces that allow her to express creativity while learning in a fun and relaxed environment.”

“I wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for the joy and energy you brought to this summer’s music camp. I loved hearing you speak during the introductions, your eloquence and your love for the path you have chosen in life shone through in your words and your smile. I spoke to [my sons] about you in the days following their recital and told them that you were an example of an individual who is walking their heart’s path…these experiences are never just about the music: they are about our children experiencing adults, other than parents, that establish that benchmark for excellence in so many facets. Those lessons that are caught, not taught, are the most important of all. Thanks again.”

“Thank you so much for keeping piano fun and enjoyable for my daughter. At this age when they usually want to quit everything, she has never mentioned stopping piano lessons!”
