Beautiful music begins with a warm, patient teacher.
For more than fifty years, Judy Rohlin has taught students of every age — from bright-eyed three-year-olds to adults of eighty-five — to sit down at the piano and truly enjoy the music they make. Lessons here are gentle, personal, and built on a lifetime of experience.

50+ years teaching
Half a century helping students of every age fall in love with the piano.
All ages, ages 3–85
From first-time little ones to adults returning to a lifelong dream — everyone is welcome.
Warm & personal
Solid fundamentals, the classics, and the music you love — taught with patience and encouragement.
A warm welcome
Where students learn to love the piano
My greatest joy is watching a student pass through that first hard stretch and arrive at the day they can play a song they recognize and love. That is when practice stops feeling like work and starts feeling like music.
We build solid fundamentals first, then move into the classics, and always make room for the songs each student personally enjoys — including music for church, which is close to my heart.
English & Mandarin Chinese
Piano lessons in English — and Mandarin for your family
Judy grew up in Taiwan, where her parents served as missionaries for forty years, and she has spoken Mandarin Chinese since she was two years old. She teaches every child in clear, patient English — and she can speak with Mandarin-speaking parents in Chinese, explaining how lessons work and how their child is growing.
歡迎說中文的家庭 — Mandarin-speaking families are warmly welcome.
Why piano
A gift that shapes the whole child
Learning the piano does far more than fill a home with music. Decades of research connect music study to real gains in the mind, the heart, and the character.
Sharper minds
Music training is linked to stronger math and spatial-temporal reasoning in children.
Stronger reading
Learning music strengthens the very listening skills that support language and literacy.
Focus & discipline
Regular practice builds executive function — planning, patience, and follow-through.
Poise & confidence
Recitals and playing at church grow composure that carries into every part of life.
From the studio
“Once a child can play music they love, they no longer practice because they have to — they practice because they want to. That is the moment we are working toward together.”
— Judy Rohlin
One of my students, just fourteen, now plays regularly for his church. Moments like that are why I still love this work after fifty years.
More than lessons
Two recitals a year, and room to grow
Students perform in two recitals each year for friends and family, and young students can take annual theory tests that may lead to scholarships. It is a supportive, celebratory way to watch progress bloom.
