Piano Lessons

Mamak Charepoo believes that everyone deserves to feel safe to flourish and live their best selves. Through her unique approach to piano lessons, she creates a safe space for students to flourish as musicians and as people. She believes when people feel seen for their inherent capacities and qualities they raise to greater levels of achievement. This creates a space for the student to feel confident as a musician and as a person.

Mamak believes a strong sense of rhythm is the foundation to learning any instrument with security and confidence. Mamak believes that our language can either encourage or discourage learning. These two pillars are combined in setting a foundation for the student to acquire greater facility and love for music and greater awareness of themselves as a person. Mamak works with beginners to intermediate students.
