Taking piano lessons with Lorie promises to be a new and exciting adventure.  Lorie brings her 20 years of experience and love of music to people of all ages applying state-of-the-art technology to good old-fashioned methods.

This website is designed to help you understand how her teaching methods are used to put the "fun" back into the basics of learning to play the piano.  Because most students stop taking piano lessons during years four or five, Lorie has come up with a curriculum that makes the "solo sport" of piano more enjoyable; therefore, keeping students interested longer.

Her Mission

"Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime."  Lorie's greatest success is when her students no longer 'need' her to help them learn a piece - they can do it on their own, without help - and do it well.  This ensures a lifetime of enjoyment playing the piano.

Testimonials:         

"I have finally become very good at piano because of you...I doubt that any other teacher would give as much time, devotion, and incentives to their students as you do to yours."         --B. Burgess

"Thank you for being such a great piano teacher to Kelly.  She really loves to play and that is because you are encouraging!"            --P. Martin

"First of all, I have to say that my daughter is a very picky 10-year-old. She doesn't like just anyone. I think there are five people on her short list. And, since we moved to FL, we needed to find a new piano teacher for her. We were so lucky to find Lorie. Within minutes, Lorie set my daughter at ease and determined her abilities. By the end of the lesson, my daughter was vivid, enthusiastic, and anxiously awaiting the next lesson. She continued unabated in her piano practice, culminating in a wonderful recital. We are all proud of her, and we owe it all to Lorie. I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Piano Practice."        --Jeanne
