Raymaker Piano Studio

Raymaker Piano Studio I create a warm and supportive environment for all ages, where students are successful from the start I'd love to talk piano with you.

I use high-tech tools and the latest research, but the most important part of teaching for me is to have students feel successful each week in their lesson. My studio is small so that I can focus lots of individual attention on each student. I trained at Northwestern University, and have been teaching since high school.

Some have a true gift of teaching, to explain complicated concepts with patience and clarity. I have been very fortunate to study with John, as he helped me rebuild my technique after many years of playing with pain. The examples he uses, and solutions he presents, teach me so much. I spent the evening reviewing two videos on a very specific part of piano technique and learned a lot!

I’ve been listening to Paul McCartney since this concert Saturday night. To hear the great music he’s written and sung over the years, and see photos from his lifetime, was amazing.

Cute gift from a student!

I often see that it doesn’t hurt to wait to start a beginner in lessons. This young lady is in 4th, and did a great job with metric counting tonight.

Due to various discounts, I’ve enjoyed a great summer of music at Ravinia. This week I get to see two groups I’ve wanted to see for a long time: Apollo’s Fire, an early music group playing period instruments; and Voces8, an 8-member a ca****la group singing sacred, Madrigal, and jazz arrangements. My happy place!
