I wanted to improve my piano skills, so I tried Samuels ’s lessons in Thornton Park and they were amazing! She knows jazz, blues, and classical inside out, and it totally leveled up my playing. Honestly, she’s the best

Despite my lack of confidence, Samuels had faith in me. Her virtual piano lessons enabled me to conquer my anxieties and prepare for my first live performance at the age of 65!
