  Review of Piano Lessons, September 15, 2008

  Gail Burgess is an excellent piano teacher who has the rare combination of depth of knowledge, technical skill, patience and experience to be able to work with your child from the beginning and take him/her to a very high level of artistry as a young adult. Not many kids who take piano lessons are destined for a career in music. However along the way your child may learn from Gail that self improvement requires taking risks, making mistakes and above all perseverance. Over time Gail will teach your child how to work independently, how to break down a difficult task into smaller, manageable ones and how to take a meditative, thoughtful and scientific approach to problem solving. Our daughter started with Gail when she was five and didn’t know what she was getting into - and neither did we! She is now twelve and fills our home with music every morning and we already have cherished memories, like her first steps and words, of her first measures on the piano. Thank you Gail!

  Review of Piano Lessons, August 20, 2008

  Both my daughter (from age 5) and I have studied piano with Gail. In addition to teaching solid technique, Gail helps her students understand and love the music. She has innovative ways of teaching rhythm, and encourages her students to explore many different kinds of piano pieces.

  Monthly performance classes are included with your tuition. These are wonderful for helping your child become comfortable performing in front of an audience.
