My Daughter took Simply Music lessons from Bernie and I was so impressed and bubbling with joy when in a hotel lobby or a mall, shortly after she started, she slid in on the pianist and started playing a duet with him! They had a cool jam session with 2 pieces of music! Blew my mind that a skill could be learned and usable so quickly. Such a proud and thankful Dad. More...

I am a singer/songwriter, worship leader, music teacher and coach. I started my career by taking lessons with Mrs. Ashby and it inspired me to be a professional musician. I'm now working on releasing original music plus writing for tv and film. I highly recommend Mrs. Ashby for piano lessons and learning how to be creative and free in your music education! More...

I have been taking lessons for about 5 months now and it has been a great experience. I'm an adult student and am a beginner. I take lessons with Leanne and she has been wonderful, she's patient, professional and knowledgeable. So far I've learned how to play about 10-12 songs in level one and will be going to level two soon. Learning piano this way has been very enjoyable! More...

I always wanted to learn piano, but did not know where to start. Â I found Mrs. Ashby on the internet and have been having a great time learning from her and the other students in my group class. Â She has a great way of teaching that does not overwhelm the student and makes learning piano fun. Â I look forward to the classes and then practicing the new material after each class. Â With Mrs. Ashby it is easy learning piano as an older adult. Â Thankful to be able to have her as a teacher and to get to learn piano. Â Highly recommend for any and all ages. More...

Both myself and my daughter take lessons with Bernadette. My daughter has enjoyed piano for the past 4+ years. Â After watching my daughter thrive in Bernadette's studio, I decided to also take lessons and have been taking with her for about 3 years. This has been one of my greatest joys to learn piano. Â Â Learning the Simply Music way (Bernadette's style of teaching) has opened up a whole new world of music for me and my daughter. Â Bernadette is especially gifted at catering the lessons to your desires and time available. I highly recommend her classes in person and virtual. Â We have enjoyed both over the past year. More...

Bernadette is a gifted teacher. Â Her knowledge, patience, dedication and love of piano make for an excellent learning experience. Â My daughter has been a student of Bernadette's since early grade school and she is now a teenager. Â Never once, in all of that time, has my daughter said she wanted to quit. Â If you wish to have a joyful, well-rounded music education and foster a life-long love of music, there is no better place to go! More...

My son took piano from Bernie for several years beginning at age 9. Â I was amazed at how quickly he took to the program. Â A non-traditional program, my son learned to play songs by rote and by tactile reinforcement. Â He learned chords, accompaniment and was encouraged to create compositions and do improvisation. Â I know that Bernie gave him a solid musical foundation and fostered a love of learning music through her piano classes. Â My son is now a music performance major (violin) at a prestigious music conservatory. More...
