Jamie Piano Studio

My son took lessons from Jamie for a total of six years. He just recently quit as a high school sophomore due to work, sports, and school debate team. I was very sad to see him quit, because Jamie made piano fun and meaningful for him. He loved it, and he had worked his way up to a Level Eight status, which is far beyond anything I ever expected from him with piano.nnI’ve never seen a piano teacher like Jamie. She teaches her students more than just how to play the piano. She teaches them music history, music appreciation, and music composition. She also encourages her students to perform in front of an audience. It’s one thing just to sit in a room by yourself and play the piano, but it’s a totally different thing to do it with adrenaline and butterflies as you play for an audience of strangers. Every year Jamie takes the kids to downtown Lawrence to perform on a Saturday so they could get used to crowds.nnShe also found other opportunities for the kids to perform outside of the typical annual piano recital. She encourages them to prepare for music competitions in front of judges. I saw my son’s confidence in his playing ability grow by leaps and bounds because of these public performance opportunities. She also encourages them to attend live performances by internationally renowned touring pianists. Jamie is passionate about seeing her students learn and improve and appreciate piano. We will always have a soft spot in our hearts for her.

Not only was Jamie my Piano instructor for close to 7 years, but I'm also glad to say she is a wonderful friend. She never stops pushing you and making sure you are able to fully reach your potential! Not once was I ever bored playing piano with and for her. She constantly gave me pieces that were fun and accessible while also making sure I was involved both in the process of picking my pieces and developing my own style. If you are looking for someone to teach piano, whether it's for your child or yourself, you can never go wrong with Jamie's Piano Studio!

LOVE Ms. Jamie! My son took lessons with her for 6 years and he loved her. She teaches all aspects of music and employs an assortment of interactive teaching methods to help keep students engaged. She also offers a variety of performance opportunities so they have experience in different environments.

My daughter has been taking piano lessons from Ms. Jamie for the past couple of years since she turned 4. The weekly piano lessons from Ms.Jamie have worked great in our case. Our daughter tells us on many occasions that she wishes that that day of the week was a Thursday since that's when she gets to go for piano lessons to learn one another song! I am very much happy with the way she has started sight reading at the end of her second year of piano lessons (though still a beginner, for her age she seems to be doing a good job at it)! Ms Jamie offers a lot of performance opportunities and that's yet another feather to her cap! Studio classes that Ms.Jamie conducts every month is often very informative for the kids and our daughter just waits for the first Saturday of every month to be there for that monthly class!

Great Piano teacher!
