Testimonials:
“Mark Twain said, “Really great people make you feel that you, too, can be great.” Juliet not only shares her love and enthusiasm of music with students, but also teaches them that through hard work they are able to achieve much more than they realized.” Laurel Jiron, classroom teacher
Juliet is a wonderful teacher! I was her student for eight years. She helped me prepare for my piano audition at Orange County School of the Arts. I was accepted into the piano program at this high school and went on to study piano at UC Irvine. She always made lessons so much fun, and she inspired within me a love of music and playing piano. Marissa B., piano teacher, graduate student
I've had three kids work with Juliet over a ten year period, and she has been by far the best teacher I've worked with. I've personally been playing the piano for 35 years (!) and am fairly advanced, but if I had Juliet teach me when I was a kid I know I would have been much better. She is patient with the kids when they need it and firm when necessary. She has high demands for them not only musically but also in how they approach the instrument, how they practice, and how they deal with the parts they find difficult. But she tempers these demands with such a warm and funny personality that it just makes the entire experience fun while learning. She gets my kids excited about learning music, to the point where even my video game addicted son doesn't put up a fight when it's time to go to lessons. I cannot recommend anyone in my entire experience more highly that Juliet. Michael B., pianist, parent
I highly recommend Juliet as your next piano instructor. She was a piano performance major at the prestigious Eastman School of Music. She taught my daughter from age 6 and we saw a tremendous improvement. Juliet's attention to detail in technique coupled with caring, positive, fun way of teaching is just phenomenal. She brings out the artistry in the students to produce a beautiful masterpiece with great dynamic range and flow. Added bonus is that Juliet holds frequent fun themed student recitals all throughout the year to showcase your children's talent and get them used to playing in front of an audience, which is really important. She is an MTAC teacher so you can do Certificate of Merit as well. She is the best! Becky C., DDS
I cannot recommend Juliet highly enough. I am an advanced adult student and took many years of lessons, mostly at the Univ. of Colorado School of Music, while growing up. After taking several decades off I visited multiple teachers before I found Juliet. She is as good, if not better, than any teacher I have had. Before I began with her, I could play a lot of complicated notes on the piano but now I can make music. I have also seen her work with kids at all levels and she is excellent. She begins providing a complete foundation (technique, artistry, theory, sight reading, performance) from the first lesson and builds from there. And she does it in a positive, encouraging way.

“As the mother of an out-of-the-box thinker, I am so thankful for Juliet’s great patience and ability to teach to multiple learning styles. With her extensive experience as a pianist and occupational therapist, she uses amazing techniques that make her structured piano lessons fun. My daughter and I so look forward to our weekly lesson and the magic of Juliet’s piano. We anticipate a future of great piano playing due to Juliet’s love and dedication.“ Kristine Pollard, classroom teacher
"Our 9 year old daughter has been instructed by Juliet for over 2 years, and we could not be more pleased. Juliet has the rare ability to inspire her students, not just teach a skill. We see this in our daughter and Juliet’s other students. Juliet loves music, and loves the piano, and freely shares that joy with our daughter. Juliet instructs, supports and mentors each student and the parent (encouraging us to sit in and be a part of the lessons) so we are able to work as a team. Our daughter has a wonderful teacher and a great friend in Juliet. Charles and Deborah R., architect, designer
Juliet is a remarkable teacher. My daughter has learned how to play piano well under her supervision. Juliet knows how to teach piano, how to teach kids and how to progress each on an individual basis. Her recitals have helped my daughter feel much more comfortable in front of a group. Our family loves piano and we look forward to it each week. Nysa Williams, PT
I highly recommend Juliet. She has a wonderful understanding of children, how they learn and seems to tap into each child's individual strengths. She has motivated my daughter to play and to develop a love and appreciation of music. Lastly, Juliet is genuine, interesting and kind and an all around fantastic piano teacher. Kellie Bieber, publicist
I have had the good fortune of having my eight year old daughter study piano with Juliet. She is a perfect balance of fun and structure. She knows how to make learning a positive experience. I wish that my first piano teacher as a child would have been as dynamic as Juliet! She knows each of her students so well and provides students with pieces that fit student levels and interests. Juliet's studio is an inviting environment. I love attending the frequent recitals, so that I can see my daughter's confidence increase in her public performances and to witness the growth in all of Juliet's students. I would highly recommend Juliet. She is a true gem! Chris C., Artist and Educator
Juliet is the best! She sure knows how to motivate, inspire and teach kids! My 8 year old just adores her! She doesn't just teach the piano, she teaches the kids how to solve problems and never give up. She pushes the kids in a very kid-friendly way! Strict but fun. She is super responsive in our off-hour questions and is always ready to help! Both my daughter and I feel so comfortable talking to her about piano, music and just about anything! So glad to have found her!! Shuang Frick
Juliet has been teaching my older daughter piano for 4 years now...my daughter absolutely loves her. Juliet offers many recitals which I believe really helped build confidence in my daughter. Excellent teacher and is now teaching my younger daughter. Rachel Eskander, accountant
Juliet is truly a gifted and talented pianist and she definitely inspires her students to love playing the piano. Our daughter has been her student now for five years. Like any child she struggles at times to practice at home (which is the key to success). Juliet has been very patient but always knows just how to help her overcome her struggles with her firm persistence but also do it with a fun and quirky attitude! Thanks Juliet! You're the best!! Firozeh G, MD
My 5 children all take lessons from Juliet! She's the best. Her caring and loving spirit has created 5 children who sit down to just play songs! That's more important than practicing. Sarah Gould
What a gem!! Juliet is a wonderful teacher.. Do not hesitate enrolling yourself or your lovely kiddies into her amazing studio ... Do it now! Gina Johnsonbaugh, adult student
Juliet does a wonderful job of inspiring her students to musical greatness!! Natalie Finn, psychologist
Juliet is a great teacher who knows how to keep it fun and keep the kids interested. I highly recommend her to anyone, child or adult, who needs lessons. Keener Cagle, copywriter
