What people are saying.

  • "This school is a phenomenal place with a superb teacher and an incredible learning environment. This will be money well spent. An investment in a musical life."

    — Meredith Limmer, Professional Pianist/Organist/Flautist/Vocalist/and piano/flute Teacher

  • "It is often not before college-level piano proficiency courses that already-learned musicians have an opportunity to sit in a room with seven other pianists (on seven individual pianos) and support each other in developing their piano playing skill; and it is practically NEVER an opportunity for ASPIRING pianists to sit in a room and learn alongside other aspiring pianists from the very beginning while holistically developing their musicianship. Note Worthy Music Lessons, LLC’s new studio is an extremely unique space that offers a highly unique opportunity in its group piano lessons that I hope local community members will recognize and take full advantage of! The expertise Mary has to offer and the genuine love she pours into her students’ development and growth is invaluable and worth every. single. penny!"

  • It is a rarity to find a person whose passion for an art form is magically combined with their ability to teach others about it. This requires dedication, patience and a love of the craft. We were very fortunate to find all that and more at Note Worthy Music Lessons, LLC. From the very first meeting, we knew we found something very special. Not only were they a joy to work with, but they listened to our individual goals and kept them in mind as they tailored the curriculum to meet both the basics of music theory while still keeping the pieces interesting, challenging and fun. Additionally, the proprietor Mary, is one of the loveliest people you will ever meet. Her wonderfully kind personality is a breath of fresh air, yet can even withstand teenage wit and wisecracks. We could not be more pleased with this school and know you will be too!

  • I found Mary through a friend of a friend. She is a wonderful teacher. From the first time we met, I felt confident I was with the right person. Mary is warm and caring. She is excellent at bringing out the best in me. The new studio space is amazing. comfortable, and welcoming. Last year, with Mary’s support and encouragement, I participated in my first ever piano recital. It was a nerve wracking, but wonderful experience. I am 62 years old; mother of 3 and grandmother of 4. With Mary’s expert guidance I am playing music I love. You are never too old to chase your dreams!

  • Mary is very dedicated music teacher! Both of my girls love coming every week for their piano lessons and enjoy spending time in the new music studio. I highly recommend this place!

  • Dear Mary, Thank you so much for everything you taught me about the piano! Although my first instrument was really the clarinet, I really ended up loving the piano so much more because of what you taught. I always looked forward to lessons with you. I loved having someone to talk to about my days and just life in general. You're an amazing teacher and person. I am so lucky to have met you! Thank you for helping me develop the love for piano. I am so grateful to have learned the basics and now the piano can be something I can play for the rest of my life. Again, thank you so much and good luck with everything!
