Hi! I’m Tara
I’ve perfected a method to teaching piano that is proven to work!
I’m the creator of the Cascade Method and when it comes to the piano, I’m probably one of the most passionate people you’ll ever meet. I’ve made it my professional mission to transform every student I have the pleasure of teaching into life-long musicians.
I truly believe that every person exposed to the piano can find a passion for it, but it’s up to the teacher to help discover that unique, individual passion. Some might argue that playing piano is outdated or perhaps even boring, (cringe!) but the truth is, most teachers just don’t know how to revolutionize it. There is a fun and exciting way to play the piano in today’s modern, pop-driven world — and this method is a testament to that!
