Piano Lessons
Welcome to my studio! I teach highly motivated students who love to play the piano.
Whether you are a beginner or have been playing the piano for many years, there is a place for you. You will receive a personalized program that is designed to meet your goals and align with your learning style. Students of all ages and abilities are welcome.
I specialize in teaching a relaxed technique that enables one to play with ease and artistry. Students will learn to communicate the deep messages found within the music, which is essential to an expressive performance.
Playing the piano can pose unique challenges to those with a smaller hand size. I am qualified to help students overcome these challenges with creative solutions that do not cause further strain or injury to the hand.
I am trained in historical performance practices and period instruments. These studies continue to influence my approach to playing and teaching baroque music on the modern piano.
My studio is located in the Reading/Blue Ash/Evendale area, close to Ronald Reagen highway.

“Mari taught me for nine years; I began with almost no interest in the piano, but she found and built up the passion I have for it now. Her patience and resourcefulness is truly unmatched! She is an endless beacon of musical knowledge, and yet always knew which explanations/methods would work for me. Mari is a kindhearted, talented pianist and my biggest inspiration!

“Ms. Mari has been my piano teacher for over ten years, and I have enjoyed every lesson with her. I always leave class with constructive, positive feedback that I can use to improve in my practice. When approaching a challenging piece of music, she helps her students understand complex rhythms by breaking them down into basic parts, guiding us through the process of learning the notes. She always creates an environment conducive to learning and growth. Ms. Mari has helped me figure out the unique strengths and qualities of my own music, and she has even supported me in writing my own compositions. She has not only taught me the technical skills to excel in music but she has inspire my genuine love for the art of piano.”
