I studied with Darrolyn for close to ten years, from elementary school all the way through my senior year of high school. She is a special teacher. I always appreciated how she emphasized the context in which we play the piano. What is the story behind the piece? How can you feel the music as you play it? Attending to these elements creates an environment in which playing piano is more than simply having good technique, but truly about artistic expression."

"Thank you so much, for the wonderful job you are doing with my son. He just came home so excited claiming this was the best lesson ever. He is thrilled to play the Harry Potter song and learn the notes.

"Thursday afternoons are a big deal in our home, and why you may ask? Well, because we have a 5-year-old eager to get to her piano lesson on time. Ms. Darrolyn makes every lesson fun and meaningful, and without a doubt I know my daughter is learning and improving with every lesson that goes by. Amanda started lessons with Ms. Darrolyn in the Fall of '09 and already I see a lifelong love for music and piano. Each week Amanda is excited to show us how much she learned and she practices all the time. Thank you, Ms. Darrolyn, for being such a positive teacher. We can't thank you enough for the lovely music being played/sung in our home these days. We look forward to watching Amanda's love for piano grow.

Here's a quote that really made my day, from an adult student during his lesson: "I'm going to play that again because it's so much fun to play it better!"
