Marie’s Piano Studio

Where Music and Imagination Meet

Home

Welcome to Marie’s Piano Studio

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced musician, I’ve taught all skill and age ranges. I’ve also taught students from across the Salt Lake Valley, including Draper, South Jordan, Cottonwood Heights, Midvale, and more. I also teach online theory and piano classes, so you can in a way that’s comfortable for you. I focus on building strong musical foundations, like reading music, playing confidently in various styles, and understanding technique, in a fun and supportive learning environment. I encourage my students to be expressive and creative, and I motivate them with activities and rewards, as well as opportunities to perform in recitals.

I also teach Ultimate Music Theory, which is an interactive group class to teach students the Ultimate Music Theory curriculum, for any students not interested in learning an instrument, teaches them just the theory of music. Whether you’re local to Sandy or joining online, these theory classes mix interactive games with more traditional, proven methods. Click here to learn more!

Let’s make music together, right here in Sandy or from the comfort of your own home!

Our two granddaughters love going to her lessons and are further ahead than we expected. Marie is a very encouraging teacher and it shows at the recitals.  All of her students are impressive and the piano pieces performed by the older students are amazing.  We are excited for our two!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an adult who had never played the piano before and could not read music, I found learning to play the piano intimidating and a little scary. I was super nervous for my first lesson, but from the minute I walked in the door Marie was welcoming, encouraging, and enthusiastic. She has truly made every lesson a joy and I look forward to them every week. It has been four months since my first lesson, and I am so thrilled with the progress I have made. I cannot recommend Marie enough if you are looking for a teacher, either for yourself or your child. She loves her students and makes it so easy to love playing the piano too!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sometimes when you have your heart set on something, the stars align. This is how we found Marie. Studies show that playing the piano goes beyond the gift of music to achieving a full-brain workout—sharpening intellect, improving memory and concentration, enhancing motor skills, encouraging creativity, and providing therapeutic benefits. With this knowledge, I was adamant that learning to play was an important part of rearing our son. The key was finding a teacher and methods that kept him motivated to stick with it. Marie’s firm but gentle style and fun and creative ways of engaging children through her piano studio have done the trick. From the time he was small, our son has left the studio seeming happier and lighter—even when he entered the doors a little grump. We have been consistently attending lessons for nine years (or so!) and have watched our son transform into a musician. It is truly a delight to hear him play today and we’re so grateful for the positive influence from Marie. We highly recommend her!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took piano lessons with Marie from 4 years old until I graduated high school, and there is no way to fit all of the good things I can say about my experience into one review. Marie truly shaped my life! Through her comprehensive teaching methods, she helped me become a well-rounded musician—guiding me through challenges, encouraging me to tackle difficult pieces, and pushing me to grow. She also helped me overcome performance anxieties and helped me to love performing and competing. I owe so much of who I am and my love for music and the piano to Marie and her instruction. Marie also provided many fun activities and incentives that helped me to learn musical concepts and created lifelong memories that I will always cherish. Marie loves her students and cares about all aspects of their lives, and this truly shows in the way she caters her teaching towards each individual and what they need. You will not regret your choice to learn at Marie’s Piano Studio!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an adult student getting back into piano I love that Marie focuses on technique and really lets me play the music I want. If I hate a song, we move onto something else, while still staying dedicated to great technique and improving skills.

My Philosophy

I believe that everyone has the capability to make music. In our day and age, music is more accessible than ever. With the right skills, anybody can make beautiful music. I encourage students to express themselves and be creative. I want to prioritize teaching students, rather than teaching music. Each student learns differently, so I adjust my teaching style for every one.

My Mission

My mission as a teacher is to provide opportunities for learning in an environment where students can feel supported. My goal is for each student to have personal attention and build a variety of skills that will help them to make music throughout their lives.
