Hey there!
If you’re new here, welcome! I’m so excited to chat with you and hear all about how you’d like to grow as a musician.
A little about me…
I started piano at age seven, and quickly fell in love with all things music. Since then, my musical journey has taken me from Indy to the Netherlands and back, from classical music to interdisciplinary art making to composing original music (and many things in between). From all of these eclectic experiences, I’ve picked up all sorts of tools to help you on you own musical journey.
How I can help you…
In my 10 years of experience teaching students of all ages and skill levels, I have developed several strategies and methods to tailor lessons to each student’s needs. My approach focuses on self-driven learning, developing healthy technique, and ensuring a well-rounded musical education that prepares you to achieve your musical dreams.
Sound like a good fit?

Testimonials
“Claire is a highly knowledgeable and skilled pianist but also has a great ability to teach. She is gentle in her approach and it's very comfortable to make mistakes or ask her questions. She is patient and finds teaching methods that work for the individual student. Regardless of your skill level I would highly recommend Claire as a piano teacher.”
— Past Student
“Claire is the most patient teacher I have ever seen as she calmly led me through my lessons and mistakes. I am a MUCH better pianist because of her dedication to proper technique and to make each musical piece open to my own interpretation.”
— Past adult student
“My daughter’s piano experience over the last six months has been better than I could’ve ever expected. I started lessons when I was her age and I was nowhere near her progress, even a year in, with my childhood teacher. Claire is extremely kind and patient, she knows how to talk and interact with students of all ages (I overhear lessons before and after my daughter) and she is so knowledgeable. She does such a great job explaining piano concepts to my daughter in a way that really sticks. I simply cannot believe how quickly she has caught on and started loving the piano. We would recommend Claire to anyone interested in taking lessons!”
—Ellen, Parent of current student
“Claire is an amazing piano teacher. My daughter was fortunate to be under her instruction for 3 years. She is very knowledgeable and has an engaging and patient teaching style.
— Parent of Past Student
“Claire is an incredible piano teacher. After practicing on my own for two years, I’ve spent less than a year studying with her and have already learned far more than I ever did on my own. Her incredible knowledge and clear, engaging teaching style have truly transformed my playing and understanding of music.”
