Report
Ms. Noreen is terrific. She hosted another virtual piano workshop yesterday for her students. Since the pandemic, we have been really impressed by how she has continued to run her studio - lessons and workshops - without missing a beat. Her interest in and use of technology in teaching has really paid off; she has provided a much more seamless and consistent learning experience than the public schools which are still struggling to even determine what platform they will use for on line lessons (to the extent they offered them!) Ms. Noreen's flexibility, energy and appreciation for where each student is at, not to mention her talent as a pianist, make her a phenomenal teacher.
We are so grateful for the years that she spent with our daughters giving them a music foundation that will last a lifetime, as well as encouragement and advice on the practical matters of life. They are better and more observant humans for it.

Report
Hands down the BEST piano teacher who will provide you with the HIGHEST quality piano training anyone has to offer. I personally was a student in this piano studio for nearly 12 years, and I was able to grow tremendously under Ms. Noreen. She is not only one of the kindest individuals I have ever met and a lifelong friend, but she is also exceptionally musically talented and has the talent of both teaching her students technical expertise while also inspiring them to learn out of intrinsic excitement.
She pushes her students to compete in competitions of all levels, even from a young age, and she is a life coach as well. I have only praise for Ms. Noreen and strongly recommend you to join her piano studio!
