[Our teacher] has been a fantastic piano teacher! They not only have taught Eloise how to play piano, but has also helped her build self confidence and understanding more about herself as a student and musician. ~Cassie H.
Our daughters have been students at Brighter Minds Music for some five years. It’s amazing to see the progress they continue to make on the piano. They come home from their lessons excited to play and brimming with ideas. At the same time, they are developing solid technical skills and a grounding in musical theory. ~ Nadia Higgins
Thank you so much for the pictures! So wonderful that you do that-- we will treasure these keepsakes from Evie's first recital! :)

We are very happy with Brighter Minds Music. Our daughters' teacher and the multiple recitals and events throughout the year keep the girls engaged and excited about playing the piano. And we love that you are coming to St. Paul!

Sarah has really grown as a musician over the last two years. We really appreciate Kat's ability to balance encouraging her and challenging her. Thank you!
~Dana Neuhauser
We've had a terrific experience with Brighter Minds Music. The atmosphere is very nurturing to young students. In particular, we've been impressed by the inclusion of Theory in lessons so kids understand the music in front of them. (This is very different from our own piano lessons all those years ago.) We're big fans of the chance for students to perform in the community. The Halloween concert was great! We also enjoy the chance for Sara to participate in the SPPTA concerts. It's great to watch your child stretch, participate with other musicians, follow concert etiquette, receive feedback from a judge, and earn ribbons/medals/trophies - all without competing against other kids. You and the teachers at Brighter Minds are terrific!
~ Sandy Kline
We have really liked the lessons and Rachel's encouraging ways with Thea. She continues to grow in her learning and the recitals have been good opportunities to show what she knows 9and put on dress clothes for once!)

What did you or your son / daughter enjoy most about the experience?
Playing songs for his family (on an instrument that is basically his – he is already the piano expert at our house) and hearing himself on his teacher’s podcast! What a treat – we shared it proudly with friends & relatives. ~Susan M, parent of a six year oldWorking on the computer, duets with you, learning new songs. ~ Barb T-M., parentWatching CC’s confidence & interest grow. ~Louis & Nadia H., parentsRecitals, though they’d never admit it. ~Peter S., parent of two boysLearning & playing duets. ~ Erin O., studentLearning new songs. ~ Rachel L., student
“I just had to tell you how much we have enjoyed our music classes, you are such a fantastic teacher! I enjoy seeing how everything you teach directly relates to math reading anticipation – it’s fascinating! Bella keeps asking when we are going to music class she really loves you! We’ll see you soon!” ~ Kelly P., parent
"I appreciate Emily’s professionalism, her musical training, her enthusiasm and her obvious love of children. Emily’s passion is to share the gift of music with the next generation. She is a true music educator." ~ Carol F., grandparent and music educator
"Brighter Minds Music was the perfect entertainment for my son’s birthday. Emily provided a fun, engaging and interactive musical experience that kept the kids singing, moving and laughing the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Brighter Minds Music to any family who is looking for hands on fun the whole party can enjoy." ~Maggie A., parent
“Thank you so much for providing the music for our wedding and cocktail hour. It was beautiful! You were great to work with and you delivered everything that was promised. Please feel free to use me as a referral in the future.” ~Kari P., October wedding
“Music is a very important part of our family life, and classes with you have helped foster a love for music and movement in my children. We don’t have a TV in our living room, instead we have a piano and a CD player. My almost 2 year old son daily points to the CD player and waves his hand – his sign for music – asking for mom or dad to play a CD. He loves his Musikgarten CDs and love to dance alone and with mom or dad to his favorite songs. When my second son was born in February, we were overjoyed when we noticed that he responded happily to the Musikgarten music that he had heard so often while still unborn. We are certainly grateful to have been able to experience Musikgarten music, movement, and instruments in classes and at home.” ~ Diana M., parent
We love Emily’s love of music & enthusiasm to teach the piano. Emily is consistently giving positive reinforcement and encouragement to our son. We appreciate the tools and variety of learning techniques she offers. Emily certainly has a gift in teaching piano, she instills her love and excitement of music to her students. ~Barb T-M, parent
