Mclean Piano Journey Studio

I have taken lessons at Ms Maria's studio for four years and can truly say she is a wonderful teacher. Her way of teaching the piano and picking out intresting pieces for her students is honestly what makes lessons so fun! She is very patient and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to have her as my teacher. Before I started the piano, I had no music experience; but Ms Maria quickly taught me how to read music and I quickly advanced. If you are looking for an outstanding teacher, Ms Maria is the best one!

I am currently a student of Ms. Maria's and on my piano journey so far I've definitely noticed an improvement both in my playing and in my expression since my last teacher. Ms. Maria's enthusiasm for music is contagious and it's sparked a greater appreciation for the piano within me. She's an excellent and a well-organized teacher, and her ability to patiently guide her students makes learning the piano a positive experience!

I have been a student of Ms Maria's for about almost 3 years and I must say she is an excellent piano teacher. She makes learning fun and has many opportunities to do recitals, festivals, and more. If you are considering doing piano or finding a teacher, I recommend Ms Maria.

I have taken lessons from Maria for several years. Maria knows the right music for each of her students which in my case, keeps the interest and excitement high. Maria's style of introducing music theory is effective in advancing my overall study of piano music. I now play a plethora of music pieces including classical, pop, and contemporary and I have had the opportunity to play several duets as well. Maria spent several sessions with me developing improvisation and composition skills. Maria is professional, supportive, and it is a pleasure being her student.

My son Eli has been taking Piano lessons with Ms. Maria for the past five years. Throughout the years, I’ve seen my son progresses in his piano skills. Ms. Maria is a structured, patient, and caring teacher. She is definitely a great choice of a piano teacher for my son!

I'm one of Ms. Marias current students, and I've been with her for 7 years. Ms. Maria is truly a gifted teacher! She is always patient and encourages me to keep going. Under her teaching, I've grown to love piano and music very much, unlike my classmates who hate piano despite taking lessons from another teacher. Having Ms. Maria as a teacher even helps me in band, from being less nervous on stage, to sightreading better.

Her knowledge of music enables her to teach all levels. Ms. Maria's curriculum includes everything, including theory, composition, recording, and performing. If you are looking for a teacher who has years of experience and is dedicated to her students, look no further! :

We've found Maria to be an exceptional piano teacher for our son Dylan. He has natural ability and she has been capably guiding and molding his talents for 2 years. The high awards he's won in piano competitions as well as in his school's percussion and wind ensembles bear this out. There have been times where she did get strict, but these instances served to wake Dylan up and motivate him in the right direction.

I've never found her to do so inappropriately, and it's only happened twice in 2 years. In fact, my wife and I have found her to be very warm and deeply caring about her students. Regarding comments about her accounting, we've never had any issue. To the contrary, we were recently refunded for a lesson that could not be rescheduled without needing to say anything. If your child is talented and has the drive and initiative to practice, I can think of no better teacher. The rewards for your child and yourself are more than worth it.

We waiting 1.5 years on a waiting list for a time slot for my daughters piano lessons. It was WORTH The wait. My daughter (6yrs old ) started last November and has alrighty been invited for recital. I can't not believe how fast my daughter fell in love with reading music, with the help of Mrs Maria. Maria accommodates each child by teaching them how each individual needs to be taught. Thank you Maria, we are so lucky to be blessed by your teaching. *** Update my daughter made her school talent show after 6 months of lessons! Out of 500 kids!

My son went from a non-structured piano teacher to a very structured piano teacher. I like how Ms. Maria structures her lesson plan according to child's grade level, it is very organized in a way that my son understands what's expected of him. Ms. Maria is very patient with my child, she also praises him when he does a great job and encourages him to keep up with good work. I am very happy with Ms. Maria's teaching style. With the past two piano teachers my son had gone thru, she is by far the best piano teacher my son has. Thanks, Tina

Ms. Maria is truly a gifted teacher! She is very patient with her students and so sweet to them. Her music knowledge and experience are so immense that she is able to teach all levels. She is such a joy to have as a teacher!

We are very pleased with the instruction our child is receiving from Maria McLean and would highly recommend her. She has a positive, uplifting demeanor which children respond well to. Her teaching style is well-developed and she adjusts to the personality and learning style of her students. She incorporates both playing time and theory work into her lessons, which I believe is important for a well-rounded education. After just 12 months of instruction, our child is playing like most 24+ month students.

Our son has been studying with Ms Maria for one year. He has advanced more quickly than we expected under her direction. My husband and I have both studied music for years and we knew that we had selected the right teacher shortly after he began his studies. If your student follows her direction they will become a great piano player.

My child 8 years old has been attending Ms.Maria's studio for almost 2 years. She really enjoys her class. Ms. Maria has effective teaching method for students that incorporate musicianship, theory, creativity and skill. Last year 2014 my child got many rewards for piano competition and theory test. I am very glad to have Ms.Maria teaching piano for my daughter. I think she is the best piano teacher ever!
