Studied Piano Pedagogy with Mary Elizabeth Land and has been teaching private piano lessons for 35 years.

Cyndi emphasizes note reading, rhythm, technic and theory at every lesson to prepare students to ultimately learn independently. Building confidence is key factor in music lessons.
Each student is unique. Everyone has their own learning style, appreciation for music, coordination and goals. In the 1:1 lesson, the teacher has the responsibility to meet the students' unique learning style for the best results.
