Welcome!
I am a joyful music teacher and counselor who provides piano lessons and singing lessons to adults, teens and children in my East Bay home.
I love my work. I help people discover the joy of music in their bodies, their instruments, and their hearts. My students and I are partners on a musical adventure, improving technical skills and building self-confidence. Classical, jazz, popular, rock, choral — whatever you want to learn, we can do it together.
Music creates and fosters community. Bring music into your home and share songs with loved ones. Come join the fun!
ADULTS — Take Heart! It’s never too late to learn piano or improve your singing, while having fun. I specialize in helping adults quiet their inner critic and feel playful while acquiring musical skills.
Resounding Joy 
I’ve sent students to you in the past and have been so pleased with the results, as are they. I look forward to sending more people your way in the future. Mazel tov!
I’ve been taking voice and piano lessons with Susan for around a year now. Each lesson is different and all my lessons have been fun and great learning experiences. Susan has been helping me to feel more comfortable with my choice to learn how to sing. I always leave my lesson feeling great about the work that we did together and my growing confidence in learning how to use my voice to sing.
I am a 67 year old, arthritic woman who has wanted to learn how to play the piano for awhile now. This last year I gave myself piano lessons for my birthday and began my search for a teacher. Susan is perfect for me. She is accomplished, tailors instruction to my interests, needs, and strengths, and is a joy to work with. Her attention to quieting the inner critic within us is an additional skill she brings to each lesson.
Interested in piano lessons for my 5 yr old grandson. There is a old piano in the house and he has showed interest in learning to play. Please let me know if you have time & price list for lessons. Thank-you, Anne Pierce
