Kind words from studio families.

René Johnson is a gifted teacher. She does a great job making things fun and keeping my kids interested while challenging them and ensuring they learn technical accuracy as well as playing with feeling. I'd highly recommend her to anyone.

We've had two children take piano lessons from René Johnson and have been very pleased with her professionalism, personable nature, and, most importantly, rapport with her students.

Mrs. Johnson is a wonderful, well-rounded, well-trained piano instructor and a compassionate individual who cares deeply about her students' progress and well-being.

René is very conscientious in the way she teaches. She keeps high standards of musicality while helping students see their progress.

After a very long hiatus, I decided I wanted to take piano lessons again. I interviewed two teachers and decided on René Johnson. I am thoroughly enjoying myself, as René is a thorough, but patient, teacher. I am learning the basics of music theory, which I never had when I took lessons as a child, and am playing a wide variety of pieces. She's great!

Her experience and passion come through in every lesson. She balances meticulous teaching with encouragement and positive feedback.

My son's progress and growth in his piano playing (both technique and musicality) over just 11 months so far with René is amazing. He loves attending lessons with her and she motivates him to practice and achieve. René is so thoughtful about what books to use, technique and theory to teach, and pieces to assign. My son has appreciated opportunities René has given him to participate in local piano competitions and the fun group lessons and theory classes she holds with groups of students. I appreciate that my son is receiving such a great and complete piano education from René as well as the understanding of the importance of practice and the joy that comes with achievement.

I used to have a piano teacher that let me play whatever I wanted and I would play basic chord songs but when I started playing with Mrs. Johnson, I was playing more classical music and found myself improving much faster while still enjoying my lessons. I think Mrs. Johnson is a fantastic teacher.

My son has really enjoyed working with René, who shows a great dedication to teaching and helping students develop and love music.
