Emily, mother of 13 year-old son, Lucas Dianne has been a wonderful fit as a piano teacher for our son Lucas. Coming into her studio as a transfer student, with some prior knowledge and experience, the transition was seamless. Dianne brings a passion and love for music along with the tools for her students to become precise, organized and detailed. She adds a great balance of fun and music theory. Our son is able to express himself while playing and enjoys the process immensely. Wei, 29 year-old recreational player I started my piano journey with Dianne a couple of years ago. As an adult, I had no music background
and knew nothing about piano. Being able to play piano has always been a dream of mine. Dianne is a
patient teacher with a set professional and systematic process of teaching. I can see that my piano skills
improved lesson by lesson. She is a creative and thoughtful musician, and an encouraging and inspirational mentor. Having her as my first piano teacher is one of the best choices I have made.

personal situation. Her studio is very clean and the class time is used wisely without distractions. Alvin, 18 years old Dianne Davies has a welcoming and friendly music studio environment.
