“Clara taught our young son to play the piano, first at the Steckman Studio and then in her own studio. Our son was very capable, but somewhat strong-willed and indifferent to learning at the scheduled time. Clara achieved great results by devising reward systems to keep him interested and focused. Her combination of skills in music, education and psychology made it all possible. Our son later switched instruments, but being able to read music - which Clara taught him - gave him a huge head start. For a youngster, learning an instrument is not just about the music. Clara is a skilled musician and teacher, but her creativity and way with kids puts her a cut above the rest."
