Amy Work's Private Piano Studio

"I am grateful for having Amy as my daughter’s piano teacher in Raleigh. Below comments is from my daughter Luna: I’m Luna, and I’ve been Mrs. Work’s student for two years now, since sixth grade. She is truly amazing and has given me so many opportunities I didn’t even think I could have. With her guidance, I was able to perform onstage in Carnegie Hall and also participate in countless other events and competitions. Her classes are always fun and the group lessons were a great bonding experience. She is the best piano teacher I’ve ever had!"

"I think we would all love to have children who take naturally to an instrument and who are eager to put in the hours that the process of learning to play and read music takes. But for a lot of children it is a lot of hard steady work. Our children not only need an expert and professional to guide them - they also need an encourager and mentor. Amy Work is that in every way! Whenever my kids lose sight of the goals of learning piano it’s their relationship with Mrs. Work that keeps them excited to go to lessons every week - spending that time with her is motivation in and of itself for them. I’m very thankful we found her! I included a picture from one of the group classes she does regularly. This is just one of the ways she creates community around piano and how she teaches them about music theory and history. Again, we are thankful!"

"Miss Amy is a one of a kind piano teacher. She meets students EXACTLY at their individual needs; she even conducted research outside of lessons to figure out the best ways to help me. She knows how to push students and challenge them—which is the best way to grow! I was blessed to take piano lessons with Miss Amy for 11 years, and my abilities increased more than I EVER thought they would. If I could’ve taken lessons for life with Miss Amy, I would have!!!"

"Amy is the best!!! Our daughter loves her and is learning so quickly. Her approach is so kind, yet disciplined and she makes everything fun and easy to understand. Whether it's bringing together her students and their families for a backyard recital or organizing for the kids to play at nursing homes and events, our whole family feels like we're part of a community."

"We are so thankful for Amy Work and her piano program. As my kids started to get to the age where I wanted them to learn piano I felt pretty anxious about finding a teacher. I had a lot of hopes for how my kids would be introduced to music and instruments. Now we are in our second year with Mrs. Work and she has exceeded our hopes and expectations. Fostering a love for music was one of my lofty expectations of the teacher and that’s exactly what she does. Of course there is hard work and dedication but she also brings her students into the community and collaboration that studying music can include. I hope she never stops teaching because I can’t imagine there’s anywhere better for our kids to be."
