What People Are Saying
[My] kids love Miss Liberty's flash cards and games which help them to remember the notes without feeling like they are studying in school. They get excited for these games and the positive reinforcement is excellent.

Liberty Martin, Piano Teacher
Liberty began her career teaching piano during college in Lattimore, North Carolina, in 1997. She gave her first recital while 
teaching in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. Miss Martin then spent a year in Union, Mississippi, before arriving in New Freedom, Pennsylvania, one week before the events of 9-11-01.
Her first ad for piano students brought only one student-- but it was a start. Within 2 years she had 12 students; a year later she had more than 20. Her average clientele is 35 students. They come from various backgrounds, and have different levels of interest and talent. Their ages range from 4 years old to adult.
Teaching Method
Beginning piano students learn to read notes and start playing familiar songs within a month or so. Lots of review is used in the form of flashcards, paperwork, and memory games with other students. Success is dependent on the quality of time spent practicing and remembering the lessons that are taught.
One of the greatest motivations for piano students is for them to know that other people (their parents, family, anyone) like to hear them play. Encourage your child to play for you often.
Annual Christmas Piano Recital
A highlight of each year is Miss Liberty Martin's Annual Christmas Recital. Usually held the first Friday in December at varying locations, there are cookies and refreshments for everyone afterwards. The students enjoy learning familiar songs in different arrangements. There is a good combination of duets and solos, with sometimes even a trio performing! The public is welcome to attend.
