About Barbara
I teach online or in studio. My studio, with its lovely Yamaha baby grand, is in N. Windham, CT.
I have a B.S. in Music Education/Piano Performance. I have taught piano for 40 years to students ages 5 through adult, using many types of curriculum, and keeping up with new things. I have also played many other instruments. Because I learned viola about 10 years ago and needed to learn an unfamiliar clef, I am uniquely qualified to understand the struggles of adult students. I seek to find the music you will enjoy. I am a church pianist, wedding pianist, choral accompanist, children's musicals accompanist, orchestral pianist, and also play viola in an orchestra.
Music is, and has always been, one of the most important things in my life. I enjoy passing that on to others.
I have a degree in Music Education/Piano Performance from UConn. I have taught all ages and levels for 40 years.

The way I work with a new student depends on the student, their age and level. I assess the level. If the student has never played piano, I want the student, no matter the age, to leave the first lesson able to play a piece. If they already played piano, I want them to work on a piece on their level and sight read at lower levels. I assess strengths and weaknesses and choose curriculum from there.
Ages 5 - 85. Levels pre-reading to advanced. Students who pick things up easily and those who struggle.
Price and driving distance should not be the first criteria. Make sure the teacher can work well with your playing level and that you can work with the teacher.
An adult who has told me that her piano lessons are the highlight of her week.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Think about what type of music you primarily want to learn and the teacher's expertise in that area, but be open to learning more. Ask if the teacher is patient or demanding, etc. You may work better with particular types.

Barbara is an excellent piano teacher, has a great system in place to identify your current skills and take them to the next level (or how many levels you wish!). Barbara is patient, kind, flexible, and professional. Highly recommended!
Barbara is wonderful. Very patient and knowledgeable. As an adult student picking up piano again, Barbara balanced my lessons very well between being motivating and challenging. Been studying with her for few years, and much more to come.
Barbara is a GREAT teacher. She has a great amount of patience for her students whether adult or child. Barbara has a way of teaching that makes her students comfortable and confident. We have been with her for 6 years and would highly recommend her.
Barbara's extensive knowledge and experience combined with her calm encouraging presence make her an outstanding piano teacher for children and adults! My child and I both began taking lessons about 1.5 years ago and I'm consistently impressed with Barbara's ability to work with both of us in ways that fit who we are and where we are at in our understanding of piano playing.
She is reliable, patient, flexible and accommodating to family schedules. Also, she carefully prepares her students for the recital, and thoughtfully reinforces the importance of practice time.
Barbara is a fantastic teacher! Not only is she very sweet and friendly but she is patient and teaches accordingly to your age and learning style. Her knowledge behind the piano is incredible.
Barbara offers her students the unique combination of being an accomplished pianist, a teacher with decades of experience and a person whose patience never wears thin. She will unlock the fascinating world of music to you note by note, sharing in your accomplishments and encouraging you through challenges. Just place yourself in her capable hands and enjoy the journey of learning to play the piano in a relaxed and fun environment..
Barbara is wonderful with children. She is supportive, gentle and patient, but also commands attention and knows how to teach best practicing techniques. Her students learn well and take pride in their musical development. She is always 100% focused on her student during lessons. She is an accomplished pianist and so can demonstrate everything she teaches. We recommend her highly.
Very nice and pleasant to work with. Very flexible with my schedule, as an adult who is taking lessons and has things come up on days of practice. Very patient and explains things well and will go over if I’m having trouble understanding.
She has all the patience and is never boring to study with. We all love to work with her.
