“I came to Doris Mattingly as adult learner seeking to recapture a lifelong desire to play the piano. I am delighted she was willing to take me on as a student. I have probably forgotten most of what I learned as a child and have some new bad habits to overcome. But Doris is patient, encouraging, and has a teaching style that makes one want to do well. She selects music that is fun and interesting for me to play. Even the skills-building exercises are deceptively challenging and not at all elementary. I am learning to appreciate music as lyrical-telling a story, stirring imagination, and communicating beauty and emotion. But, sometimes I am secretly happy that I have just played the notes! The environment in Doris’ home is warm, bright, and inviting and I am welcomed at the door by her sweet golden retriever, Yum Yum, who knows I will bring her a treat. I am living my dream and am so happy to be sharing that with Doris. When she plays a piece for or with me it is clear that she is a master of all she teaches.”
