3 Key Studio

Hayley has been teaching all three of my children ages 6,9, and 11 for the past two years and has been amazingly patient and flexible. She has also managed to keep them engaged and enthused about piano by encouraging them to embrace their creativity while instilling the importance of mastering the foundations of reading music. We are huge fans of Halyley!!!

First off I want to say Hayley is hands down the best piano teacher I’ve tried out for my son… We have been through a number of recommendations from friends and Craigslist teachers before we found her. I have a 7 year old who tends to like to do things at his own pace, Hayley has been everything from patient and accommodating to even changing her particular approach of teaching to fit my sons specific needs. Her sessions are the perfect length in time and her studio is conveniently located close to home. We have been working closely with her for the last few months, Xavier will be performing silent night on piano with confidence (SOLO!) in his Schools Christmas pageant this year … We definitely will recommend Hayley !!!

Hayley is a great teacher and gifted musician in her own right. Kids love her! She makes music fun for all ages. My daughter loves lesson time learning to play the piano with Ms. Shula. Her music studio in Emeryville is a great space as well. If you want your daughter /​son to really learn piano, cultivate an appreciation for music, and have fun doing it, I highly recommend Hayley as a piano teacher.

My daughters (age 5 and 6) have taken lessons with Hayley for about 6 months now. Recently the music has started to «click» and I can see them learning the new language of notes on the staff. Our progress has been a bit slow, because as parents we’re not that great at getting the kids to practice everyday, but when I asked the girls if they like Hayley, they yelled, «Yes!» and «Yes, of course!». So, they enjoy going to lessons and they’re learning. They always come out of lesson smiling, so I’m a happy mom.

Shula is professional, friendly, and most importantly my daughter loves her. I think she is a very talented teacher and infuses fun with the curriculum. I highly recommend her. Her studio is great!

I came with a friend for her lesson and wow, Hayley has an amazing ear… she was able to play something I showed her off Youtube immediately AND was able to teach the chords to my friend. Hayley is a really patient and relaxed. The best thing about this is she can even also travel to your house (INCALLS). She is Amazing!!!
