Amy Hunter

In my teaching studio I am dedicated to sharing my love for creating music and finding the right musical path for each student. I believe that every person should have the opportunity to learn an instrument, learn the language of music, and discover how exciting and FUN it is to play! I accept students of all ages, backgrounds and abilities and work with you/your child's interests and musical desires to design a lesson that fulfills your individual goals and provides you/your child with a balanced musical background.

Dominique Piana

 My teaching career started in Brussels area music academies, teaching solfège (sight-singing) while I was a harp student. I also have an extensive piano background. Since moving to California, I have taught many students privately and at university level. I have pursued simultaneously a career focused on solo/ chamber music performance and teaching. It is important for me to leave a legacy, so I am also engaged in music advocacy, writing on harp literature and in arranging, editing and publishing harp music.

I have prepared students for various levels of ABRSM exams. My goal is to provide a relaxed, though disciplined approach. I teach remotely, via Skype or FaceTime. Website: https://janismercer.com.
