About Susan
It has always been about helping others and because of my experience, I am better equipped to help improve your pianistic musical skills. While I have developed one of the most succcessfull piano studios in the country, it is the high level of student service and individual engagement that sets my studio apart.
People are often amazed at the amount of progress they make when studying with me. Unlike the average community music school, I have nurtured musicians for over 35 years, and am a nationally certified teacher with a doctoral degree in piano who specializes in privately teaching adults 100% online. Our enjoyable lessons are collaborative between teacher and student, tailor-made to YOUR musical goals!
I love inspiring students and seeing them become independent musicians who can create music for themselves.
Experience for yourself what making engaging musical discoveries at every lesson is all about. See why we're among the most popular 100% online piano studios in the country!
I began teaching in my early teens when an adult neighbor observed my playing and asked for lessons. A passion for helping others is a central tenet of my life. My purpose in teaching is the success of my students. I want you to reach your full personal and musical potential!
Lessons are collaborative between teacher and student. Personal musical growth is a transformational experience, extending far beyond music study itself. Benefits include concentration, confidence, problem solving and critical thinking, discipline, determination, commitment, self-expression, personal enrichment, and inspiration.

I truly have loved serving this year as master class clinician for the Presbyterian College Piano Clinic (2020) in Clinton, SC; adjudicating students in competitions and auditions; serving as piano worship leader in churches across the country; and presenting both sacred and classical concerts. Most of all, I enjoy personally working with students in online lessons!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are my goals in studying piano?
Do I have a reliable acoustic piano or fully weighted 88-key digital keyboard?
Do I have a smart phone or tablet/laptop (Apple devices are best) with a good camera and mic and highspeed Internet connection for good reception during online lessons?
Do I have time to practice daily for optimal benefits from lessons, steady progress, and musical joy?

Perfect! Dr. Kindall was one of my pedagogy professors at the collegiate level several years ago. I always looked forward to her class, and I appreciated her kind, compassionate, yet motivational spirit as a teacher. She is experienced in her field and very well-networked with other professional musicians and pedagogues around the world. I’m thankful that she has had a part in my shaping, both as a music student then and as a fellow music teacher now!
