There have been times when we couldn’t devote as much time to independent practice, yet Inyoni never once made us feel discouraged or inadequate. Instead, they consistently encouraged and supported us, helping us focus on progress rather than perfection. I believe this speaks volumes about their teaching philosophy—they understand that students, especially children, thrive when they are enjoying the process, not when they are pressured or fearful.

Because of this, our children have advanced beautifully under their guidance, growing not only in skill but also in their love for music. Personally, I couldn’t be happier with the progress and confidence they have inspired in them.

On top of their teaching, Inyoni has always been flexible and understanding with scheduling, whether it’s a last-minute change or something planned in advance. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication shine through in every interaction.

In short, we feel incredibly fortunate to have found Inyoni. They are not just a piano teacher, but a mentor who makes music come alive! 

Thank you,

If you're looking for a piano teacher to come to your house, there are so many reasons to choose Inyoni. These are some of the most important for our family.  Inyoni respects your time.  They are punctual to the minute. Despite their reliability, they are flexible if you need to reschedule. Inyoni cares about your home and health. We do not wear shoes in the home and Inyoni always removes their shoes at the door.   In addition, they never comes into your home if there's a chance they are sick.  Most importantly, they adjust their teaching strategies based on the type of learner you are. They studied music in special education and is able to support your learner as needed.

Inyoni has been absolute joy with for our son. And we have seen tremendous growth in his skills on the piano, but also with him as a human. Inyoni has a high expectation for themself and for our son and wholes themself and our son accountable in the most positive ways.

He now practices on his own without being reminded!

Our son loves that Inyoni takes the time to teach him music in a creative way and even incorporates dragons i.e. The Wings of Fire book series, which keeps him excited, engaged and excited to see Inyoni. This as help inspired our son to do more reading on his own.

We could not have asked for a better teacher and role model to guide our son on his musical journey.

My son has been taking piano lessons with Inyoni for the past five years, starting when he was just five years old. In that time, I’ve watched him grow not only as a musician but also in confidence, patience, and focus. Inyoni  has an incredible gift for working with children—combining patience, encouragement, and high standards in a way that keeps lessons both fun and challenging.

Thanks to Inyoni, my son has made the commitment to himself to continue lessons and learn the piano throughout his entire childhood. Though my son generally looks forward to lessons each week, he still has times when practicing may not be his first choice of activities. However,  the commitment he made to himself and Inyoni pushes him to practice. This is a skill that benefits him not only as a student of piano, but also academically and in life generally! 

It’s clear that  Inyoni genuinely cares about their students’ growth and tailors instruction to bring out their best. We feel so fortunate to have found such a dedicated and inspiring teacher, and I would highly recommend Inyoni to any family looking for quality piano instructor.

Best,

Rebecca

Inyoni has taught me for over 8 years and multiple instruments. They are very patient, kind, and passionate, making them a great teacher. I have yet to find an instrument they don’t know how to play, and I thoroughly enjoy every lesson with them. Couldn’t think of anyone better to teach me, and thankful that I was able to be connected back in 4th grade.

January 2016, when my daughter Sophia “Fifi” was just 4.5 years old, she started her music lessons with Inyoni. They started with the piano and Inyoni was incredibly good at keeping Fifi interested and engaged in the fun of the piano while also cementing her ability to read music. My son Buzz began piano lessons as well. Inyoni was wonderfully patient with them both and always encouraging. They held recitals that our family very much looked forward too. Inyoni was incredibly flexible with our families changing schedule and my children’s changing musical interest, They helped my daughter with violin and my son with his saxophone between all of their many, many piano lessons.

Inyoni is a fabulous person and a wonderful music teacher. They have become a life long friend of our family. I would highly recommend Inyoni to anyone young or old interested in learning music. They are a dedicated teacher and superb musician.
