“Our daughter has been taking piano lessons with Ms. Marni for a little over two years now, and we absolutely love her! Marni is always so patient and kind, and her passion for teaching makes every lesson such a positive experience. Our daughter has grown so much not only in her piano skills, but in confidence as well. We would highly recommend Marni to any new student looking for an amazing piano experience!”

“We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Ms. Marni! She has been Hali’a’s piano teacher for over four years, and during that time, we’ve watched Hali’a grow not only as a piano player, but also in her confidence and as a person.
Ms. Marni has been such a positive influence in her life. She has a way of teaching that encourages Hali’a to want to practice, improve, and be proud of what she accomplishes. She is patient, supportive, and truly cares about her students, and that has made such a difference in Hali’a’s development and self-esteem.
One of my favorite things is attending the yearly recitals and seeing all of Ms. Marni’s students perform. You can tell by watching them and seeing the relationships she has built with so many families that we aren’t the only ones who feel this way. Her students’ growth and confidence are a true reflection of what an amazing teacher she is.
We feel incredibly lucky that Hali’a has had Ms. Marni as her teacher and would recommend her without hesitation!.”

“I was so thrilled a friend recommended Marni Crites’s studio. We had nearly given up on the possibility of piano instruction because of the conflict that arose at regular practice times. I now have all three children under Marni. They are thriving musicians that fill my house with beautiful music. They are learning so much (even in spite of their different learning styles) and growing in confidence. Now the conflict is fighting over the piano!”

“I highly recommend Crites Piano Studio! Marni is an amazing pianist and composer, but is able to teach at a basic level. She is very positive and encouraging, inspiring her students to want to practice and do their best. She allows her students to set their own goals and creates lessons accordingly, all while challenging them with material that is appropriate for their level. Marni is also knowledgeable about pianos and guided us to the best piano that fit our needs and our budget. Crites Piano Studio is time and money well spent.”
