Piano Lessons at Kleisler Music Studio
Piano lessons can be enjoyed by students of all ages!
I am a private piano teacher in Suffolk, Virginia and have taught piano lessons to students in this area for thirty one years. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Piano Performance from Old Dominion University. I am a Nationally Certified Teacher of Music in Piano through the Virginia Music Teachers Association and the Music Teachers National Association. I have also taught in Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach. I am very active in the Tidewater Music Teachers Forum and the Virginia Music Teachers Association and hold various positions in each of these organizations. I am also a member of the National Guild of Piano Teachers. I am dedicated to maintaining my piano expertise and education by attending as many local, state and national conferences and workshops as possible. I feel that this helps keep me "up to date" and provide the best musical education for my students as well as expanding my musical knowledge.
