Adult Student Testimonials

Charlotte

One of Helve’s significant teaching talents is her ability to nurture a love of music from a platform of various styles. Whether it’s classical, pop, blues, jazz or a mix, she encourages expression, musicality and interpretation regardless of the skill level of her student. It is so much fun and she provides the opportunity to have a diverse piano playing experience. It’s really up to the student to choose what to learn. I cannot recommend her more highly. She is simply the best.

Helve has a great attitude and has been very patient in teaching me the piano. I am amazed with how precisely and meticulously she diagnoses the missing parts of my piano training, and then works to rebuild those incomplete components. Clearly she is highly experienced and takes her profession seriously; she never lets me get away with shortcuts or mistakes and she holds her students to a very high standard. She would push me to do my utmost best with every piece, paying attention not only to technical details but also to the emotion and story that every piece should express. The best part is that she does this creatively, kindly and patiently.

I am very blessed to have Helve as my piano teacher and mentor, and her lessons are always enjoyable. She is a real gem!!
