What Parents Are Saying:

"Ms. Saario is both kind and caring teacher as well as a highly professional and inspirational role model as a pianist. I am amazed by how she has gently further built my daughter’s love for playing and motivation to practice frequently. In her supervision, my daughter’s technical skills and musical expression has elevated greatly. I think Ms. Saario is the kind of teacher that any piano student would be lucky to have!"
-Parent of a 12-year-old student
