"I've been working with Anna for only a few weeks, but already she has helped me develop greater confidence with singing in public. I still have a long way to go, but even though I know this, Anna makes it feel like this journey will be worth it. She's helpful not only with just singing, but also with encouraging me as a full creative, in general. I recommend working with her especially if you have anxiety about being judged by teachers - because Anna will totally dispel those anxieties.” -Briauna M. 

 

"I highly recommend Anna as a piano teacher. She’s extremely patient and versatile, and she keeps our lessons entertaining and customized to my needs. With her help I have been able to add a lot more embellishments like bass lines and fills in many of the songs I’ve been playing for a long time. She has also started me down a path of learning Jazz piano which is something that I’ve always been interested in but has felt over my head. Anna has an amazing ability to help you break down songs with her simplified and methodical approach so that you can learn something new without feeling overwhelmed. Anna is a great teacher for anyone looking to improve their piano playing at any level and within any genre of music.” - Matthew S.

 

"It is far too easy to fall isn’t the trap of telling one’s self that certain thing or “talents” simply do not fall within our own personal wheelhouse. In the time I’ve been working with Anna I have come to learn that persistence, enthusiasm, and a knowledgeable guiding hand make ALL of the difference. 

I’ve learned so much in such a small amount of time and I am greatly looking forward to all of the discoveries we still have waiting ahead. 
Whether you’re young or older, new to music or returning to it —Just starting is the BIGGEST step towards learning exactly what you can do. 

Anna has made those steps so easy, accessible, and fun. I couldn’t recommend her enough.” - Kayla H 

 

"Anna has helped me gain a new facility with analyzing a song.

A performer herself she has an instinct for helping me  make good choices-navigating between written sheet music and the rhythms, timing and tone which makes something unique to me. I'm lucky to have found her.” - Alton G 

 

"If you are looking to level up your skills in a fun, judgment-free environment then Anna is the vocal teacher for you! As someone just starting their music career, learning about music theory and how to sing properly can be super intimidating. But after just a few lessons with Anna, I could already notice a great improvement in my technique and confidence! She also sends a summary of our lesson with resources to help in between lessons. You can tell Anna really cares about her craft and is always championing you to do the same. So grateful to her and Lydian for offering high quality services for an affordable price!” - GG
