Maria is such a great teacher. She is patient but gently pushes me to play pieces that I think are beyond me. Her great advice and techniques have made me much better. She is a "treasure beyond measure".

I am impressed at how much my playing has come along since studying Taubman technique with Maria. She is knowledgeable and patient and has helped me work through any roadblocks in the repertoire I am working on. Maria is also knowledgeable about teaching young beginners the right way from the beginning. She has helped me with my own piano teaching skills as well.
