“Tarra made a seamless transition from teaching my grandson to working with me on the old stuff like the Beatles. I’m having a great time playing again.”

Mentorship & Connection
Instruction is rooted in strong, supportive relationships. We guide, inspire, and challenge students while creating an inspiring, empowering environment to take risks, ask questions, and grow.
“Tarra is the best teacher we could ever ask to guide and teach our 5 year old son in the world of music and piano. She made the lessons so fun…
Watching the kid's achievement in playing piano thanks to Tarra's teaching also nurtures us as a family with so much joy!”
-Cynthia S.
