“Leanne Schafer is that rare person who possesses both a masterful knowledge of the subject matter and the ability to bring that knowledge to others in a supportive, fun and stimulating environment. She understands and is patient with working adult students like myself who have very busy schedules and must carve out the time for the peace and pleasure that playing the piano brings to a person’s life. When I was recently faced with the belt-tightening question of choosing between canceling my house cleaning service or my piano lessons, I happily picked up the mop and bucket! Thank you, Leanne for being the light of my musical journey. “

“My son has been taking piano lessons from Leanne Schafer for nearly four years. Ms. Schafer is a highly skilled teacher who combines the perfect mixture of patience, encouragement, and assertiveness. She always manages to not only challenge Mason to do better each week, but keeps him interested by personalizing his lessons with music pieces to suit his taste. Ms. Schafer has been an incredibly positive influence in my son’s life, and I highly recommend her instruction“

“Leanne is a perfect fit for me as a piano teacher. Each week I do practice and look forward to my lesson. After many years of self-playing, and as I said, on and off lessons, Leanne provides a stable lesson plan for me. She guides my poor fingering, keeps my left hand playing softer, and is great at catching my counting errors. All of this is done in a sincere, friendly way so that I am not embarrassed. Each week I enjoy my piano lesson, I learn new things, play good music, and have a good, even fun time.“
