I teach Suzuki method piano and harp lessons to students of all levels and ages in The Netherlands. I began my studio in 1999, and have since earned my master’s degree in music performance from Temple University in Philadelphia. I teach all ages and styles. I start each new student by acknowledging their goals and then creating a comprehensive lesson plan. In this way, I can ensure casual students have a fun experience, and students who want to make a career out of music have the path in place to make that happen.

I currently only teach in English, but am learning Dutch and will be able to teach in Dutch by next year. The Suzuki method relies heavily on observation and does not require a lot of talking so communication is largely not an issue.

If you are unfamiliar, you can read more about the Suzuki Method here. I also have certifications in educating trauma-impacted children as well as experience with autistic, dyslexic, and ADD/ADHD impacted children. If your child has any specific needs, please consult with me first before starting trial lessons.

The first trial lesson is free and is recommended before joining the studio.

Elizabeth is a great piano teacher. She makes learning the piano a fun and satisfying experience. She is extremely patient. She has a calming way of explaining each lesson and gives you further insight of explaining not only how and what to play, but why it is played a certain way and why a composer might have written it in that fashion. Enjoying my time learning.

Mrs. Elizabeth is an extraordinary harpist and teacher. I am grateful to have worked with her for over 5 years because she is truly a master at her craft. Her unique, but effective teaching methods in technique and musicality is what built my foundation as a harpist, and these skills are still very prominent in my playing today. She is really one of the best!

She is a great teacher who knows how to communicate with her students. Working with her was an amazing experience and very productive. I liked how she was a great listener and used that to find the best ways to teach me new things.

She will always be there for you, even if she’s not your teacher or not. She gives good critique and shapes you into a better harpist. Also, she gives good opportunities for people who need them!

Having retired for more than a decade, fortunately, I have professor Huston as my piano teacher. 1. More than 15 years of teaching experience. 2. Each time she assigns a project that builds on the completion of the last homework. 3. Patience and effect are the main characteristics of a good teacher. She gives suggestions for some measures to be better after listening to the player very carefully all the way. I strongly recommend any music lover to have lessons from professor Huston.

Great experience for my 4 year old. We now go to Ms Liz for weekly lessons!
