"My daughters have been taking piano lessons with Jessica for the past couple of years and have always loved the atmosphere and interaction, so I was more than a bit skeptical when she proposed that we switch to Skype lessons to accommodate social distancing. My girls love the Skype lessons and Jessica is amazing at keeping them interested and focused. This has been a great way to keep the kids engaged in their music and maintain a routine when everything else has been cancelled. My girls are looking forward to their next lessons and I highly recommend Jessica' music lessons (in person or online)." Jen - mother of students

"I've always wanted to learn the piano, but for many years I was too busy with my family and my career.
Now that my kids are grown, I decided to take some time for myself and learn to play.
I found Jessica by chance and she is a great teacher. She has selected a lesson plan directed at my level with a good balance between the lessons and exercises and learning to play pieces of music, which is the fun part.
She is knowledgeable and supportive and understands that a busy life sometimes gets in the way, but always manages to keep me moving ahead with my lessons.
She is flexible and makes up the lessons that I sometimes have to miss.
I have been at this now for two years and now I am playing songs like Fur Elise and Feliz Navidad.
I would really recommend Jessica as a teacher. I am one of the two adults who play at her recitals and after going to so many of my kids' concerts and games, its great when they can come to hear me play." Donna - adult student

"I had wanted to learn to sing all of my life - I am now in my mid-forties - and once my son started learning piano with Jessica I decided that I liked her approach, so I thought I would be brave and give it a shot....and I have discovered that I have a VOICE! Jessica has been great at encouraging me to really 'sing', rather than whisper....it has been great for my self-confidence, and it is lots of fun and relaxing too! If you are thinking about learning to sing or to play the piano, I would definitely recommend Jessica as a teacher who is able to bring out the best in her students" Anna - voice student and mother of piano student.

"Jessica has a wonderful heart for music, and an even bigger heart for children learning music. All four of my children have taken lessons from Jessica, one now loving to learn flute which she was exposed to in her piano lessons. Jessica has a wonderful way of appreciating and accommodating their unique abilities to learn, and balancing this with their individual personality traits. Over the past 10+ years, our family has been so blessed by Jessica and her love for music, we are truly grateful for her. I highly recommend her, no matter what the age or level of music you are looking for." Marilyn - mother of students.

"I went into therapeutic yoga without really understanding what it was or how it could help me but entered with an open mind. I have been dealing with chronic pain and illness for sometime. I had tried various types of yoga in the past but found many of the poses to be intimidating. I just figured yoga wasn’t for me. Jessica introduced me to poses that were easy to do, she made sure I was comfortable doing them and explained the benefits and how I could use them in my life. Jessica’s gentle approach and kind spirit has helped me turn yoga into something I now do daily! Therapeutic yoga has changed my approach in dealing with my chronic illness and I have noticed both physical and mental improvements in myself. I am looking forward to continuing along this path of healing." Karla - Yoga Therapy client
