"As the Director of the Canadian Conservatory of Music in Halifax Nova Scotia, I had the good fortune to have MJ Rieman on my teaching staff. MJ was one of those rare teachers who could merge her training in classical piano lessons with the ability to play a wide variety of music styles by ear. Her innate musicality makes her an ideal instructor. She can get give her students a solid technical foundation - a key to long term facility on the instrument - combined with a love and enjoyment of music and the enthusiasm for playing that comes with this. I always told parents: Bach, Beethoven and Brahms all played by ear. Then they wrote it down. Then someone analyzed and made up rules called theory. These are all important elements in music education - but the music comes first. MJ understands that. This is what makes her a remarkable instructor for people of all ages at any stage in their musical journey."
