“My son, Trent, has taken lessons from Hemdah for 10 years. She has taken him from a squirmy second grader to a polished musician. She teaches Suzuki method, but has also been very willing to let Trent explore different genres that interest him such as jazz and blues. She taught music theory so well to him. He was able to easily make an A in his AP music theory class in high school largely due to how she prepared him.
She has been a blessing to us and we are excited for Trent to continue his love of music as he attends UCM to major in music technology. (He is currently ready to graduate with two degrees: Music Technology and Computer Science.) Hemdah cares very much about her students. We will be forever grateful to Hemdah for her phenomenal teaching!

Hemdah was a fantastic teacher for my girls. Being a musician myself, it was very important that I found a top tier educator for my daughters. Hemdah’s positive atmosphere, the “you-can-do-this” attitude paired with high expectations and high quality instruction made this a perfect fit. I feel very fortunate to have found Hemdah. She is certainly a diamond in the industry and I cannot think of a better piano teacher for my girls. I even borrowed several of her teaching techniques and use them in my classroom to this day. Hemdah is the real deal, a class act, has a heart of gold and a genuine passion for children. Hemdah is at the top of her game!

There is in your teaching and interactions with students a deeper well of patience, support, and meaningful interaction that has really touched my heart. I just love how you are never satisfied with being a “good” teacher, but are always willing to adapt and try new ways of reaching students.
Thank you for your prayerful approach to teaching our children. You have a huge influence on their lives and we are absolutely blessed by you! Hugs and thanks!
