Piano Recital at Hope Academy
Welcome to Helga's Private Studio
Music is about language and communication. The earlier one starts listening to music the more one hears it as a native language, though one can also learn to appreciate it later. While the more one knows about music the more one can appreciate it, listening should be pleasure, not work.
I believe that a music instructor is first a foremost musician who has made a commitment to share the musical life with others. It is important to stress that sharing music with others means sharing music with everyone. Each and every one of us has music within us, that no one is ‘tone deaf’, is ‘unmusical’, or ‘lacks rhythm’. Music is part of the fabric of human life, and all of us come equipped to enjoy it. Because I believe that we are all musical, I see no reason to think that music is something I need to somehow instill in others. Instead I consider my main responsibility as a music instructor to be the creation of the conditions required for that innate musicality to flourish.
All ages and levels are welcome, in person or online!
Testimonials
“I am a 75 year old piano student. I had been taking lessons with the best of the best, but he passed away. I didn't want to give up my lessons so I found a new teacher on Thumbtack, Helga Scheibert. Helga is also the best of the best!!! She is very friendly and quite knowledgeable. she allows you to grow at your own pace while encouraging you to do more. I have seen her work with children and she is just excellent. I would recommend Helga to anyone who wants a very skilled, professional teacher. Right now I am doing Skype lessons with her because of Covid. It is like I am with her in person. I couldn't ask for a better more qualified teacher” - Marilyn D.

“My 10 years old daughter is a student of Ms.Helga. She really enjoys her lessons. Ms. Helga is very talented and informed pianist, and as a teacher, she is so patient. She always slows down to ensure that my daughter is following the lessons and is playing every note correctly, in right posture(even over remote classes) . My daughter has made you much progress in last few months and am amazed how beautifully she is starting to play. I would highly recommend to learn Piano from her. Happy Learning!!” - Chandan S
