PRESTO PIANO STUDIO
So Many Fun Ways to Learn!
Presto is an Italian musical term for "fast", which is how I like to think students learn with me. As a nationally certified teacher, I have taught hundreds of students over the past 35 years, helping them develop their own love for music while teaching them the skills to pursue music at college and professional levels (see Testimonials below).

You cannot find a better teacher than Juliet Preston. She has a unique ability to connect with children and help them realize their musical potential. My 4 children have taken lessons from her over the last 8 years and she has an amazing ability to connect with each one and help them come to love music in a way that is congruent with their interests and abilities, while also pushing them to expand their abilities and talent. I have really seen my kids grow and learn musically, but also as individuals as they know that Juliet cares for and believes in them. I feel very fortunate that my children are able to take lessons from Juliet.

Four of my children are current students of Juliet. For several years they have benefited from her careful tutelage, growing in their skills as pianists and musicians through her expert guidance. They genuinely enjoy lessons with her and will often come home energized and ready for another week of practice. Juliet has a gift for tailoring lessons to the individual students' needs, working with them on their goals and interests while understanding what will inspire, motivate, and stretch them. Even though my kids have their favorite kinds of music to play, they have been introduced to and have had the opportunity to learn a wide variety of styles and genres. I love that she sees the potential in my children and has given them a nurturing space and tools to grow as musicians. She is a skilled musician herself and passes on her love and passion for music.
It is because of Juliet Preston's expertise, patience, dedication, exceptional teaching style and professional piano skills that our family travels 50 miles one way each week to have lessons with her. My three children are well-rounded musicians under her tutelage learning not only technique, theory, music history, sight-reading, and ear-training but to have a lifelong love of sharing music to enrich lives. Juliet fosters a sense of confidence within her students and challenges them to reach their highest potential. She makes learning fun and engaging and we are truly blessed to have her guiding our children through their musical journey.

Juliet is such an amazing piano teacher. As I have worked with her, my piano skills have dramatically transformed. She's really good at not just teaching you the song, but teaching you how to practice and learn music in a better way. This has even helped me better know how to approach songs I've played with my school band. She's been really foundational to giving me good roots in music and a solid understanding of how to properly practice and really improve.
