Reviews for Lafayette Piano Lessons
In a word, "Amazing." My journey began with Laura spring of 2018 as we engaged her to introduce piano to our granddaughter. I was so impressed with her skill and ability that I signed up for lessons. My experience with Laura has been truly amazing. Like the "Oracle," her instruction is unique to each student providing them with what they need to push beyond barriers. My time with Laura is cherished and I look forward to my weekly lessons. Thank you, Laura! You are the best! ~ Caroline T., Lafayette, CA
One of the best decisions that I have made as an adult is to take piano lessons, and I was very fortunate to find Laura P. She's a wonderful musician, and a gifted teacher. While the process of learning an instrument as an adult can be challenging, Laura has made it fun and enjoyable. She is very accomodating regarding scheduling, and since she comes to my house for lessons it couldn't be more convenient. I recommend Laura P. to anyone wanting to learn piano -- you won't be disappointed.

Laura Ponti exceeds expectations for dynamic teaching. Her experiences with master teachers of the past have shaped her into a phenomenal instructor of the piano. She truly loves the piano and brings out the best in all of us to produce beautiful music. My three kids (ages 16, 14, and 12) and I as her adult student have benefited greatly from her top rate coaching and inspiration. You will fall in love with piano under Laura Ponti's piano lessons. ~ Kathy V. Lafayette, CA
My 11 year old daughter really enjoys the lessons. Laura introduces her to appropriate material that is interesting, but the big surprise was my 7 year old son. He announced that he hated piano, and would never take lessons. This was the same refrain for nearly every class we have ever taken...bluntly, I told him he was taking lessons and just better get used to it! After about four to six months, he was sitting to the piano without my reminding him to practice. He has really taken to the lessons and Laura is very patient with his little-boyness. She is just what you want in an instructor, flexible,kind and engaging. The children are progressing quickly. This is exactly what we wanted in lessons.
