My Musical Influences

I have been greatly influenced by Dorothy Taubman's work on the pedagogy and technique of piano playing which helps develop the healthy and coordinated movements that enable a pianist to play with ease and without injury. I have been studying her approach for several years and have taken intensive seminars earning me certificates on levels one to six. I continue to study the approach privately with Maria Botelho Hubler. My teaching incorporates what I have learned to help my students develop effortless technique in their piano playing.

Cherry Hill, NJ

Claire is a very competent teacher and musician. She is a qualified piano teacher and music therapist. She is a knowledgeable piano teacher working in the great Philadelphia area for many years. Ms. Cavoto is always looking for ways to improve her teaching and playing. I highly recommend Claire. Maria B. Hubler Taubman Seminar Faculty




Norristown, PA

I am extremely excited about being able to play so many pieces in a very short time with both hands. I've surpassed my wildest dreams. Claire always brings something extra to the sessions and its very intriguing and rewarding to be able to add twists to pieces.

Very impressed so far! Claire comes up with great techniques to help me overcome any issue, she's patient, very nice. Michael M.

My son is autistic and although he's had piano teachers in the past, only Claire has had the insight and creativity to reach him. I never dreamed he'd be able to play with both hands much less have an actual repertoire of songs! Although he has problems with coordination and sustained focus, he is playing beautifully and is so proud. Thank you to Claire and to Simply Music! Debbie R.
