Experienced tutor in Piano, Marilynhowington offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

For an adult student seeking to learn piano, taking lessons from Marilyn was just what I needed, when I needed it. Playing a musical instrument was something I should have done when I was younger, but life happened, and I never made it happen. After years of lessons on various instruments, it was time to focus on the instrument that I believe can be the start for any musical journey. Piano.
I needed someone who was patient, listens to my goals, is flexible with lesson schedules, and makes sure material is learned before moving on. Marilyn does that, while enjoying what she does. This is a hard combination to find, and I feel lucky to have found her.

My daughter, Meredith, has been taking lessons from Mrs. Howington for 4 years now. ( 1 in-person, 3 online ) She started at age 8 and it's amazing how far she has come along. Mrs. Howington is patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. We're so blessed to have her in our lives!

As an older adult who decided to begin piano lessons, I have been grateful for Marilyn’s skills as a teacher and knowledge of the adult learner. Her choice of the Alfred All-One adult lesson books has helped me learn theory as I work on concepts and the fundamentals of music.

Marilyn is creative and encouraging in her teaching. She does and excellent job of instruction and by the end of my lesson, I understand the piece I am to practice, and she has made it clear that if I have any questions, I can contact her.

Marilyn is also skilled in teaching over Skype, a concept that was new to me when I started. I have found that having my lessons at home and using my own piano have helped me feel comfortable and hasn’t hindered my progress in any way.

I would highly recommend Marilyn to any new student looking for a teacher.

Very flexible when lessons need to be rescheduled and a very good teacher
