Loudoun Times Mirror article about Ms. Love.  

 
I am one of the most highly qualified, traveling Ashburn piano teachers, Ashburn flute teachers, and classically trained musicians in the Loudoun County area.  I have a BA in flute performance from the University of California, Los Angeles and an MM in Piano Pedagogy and Performance from George Mason University.  Aside from my extensive educational background, I have attended several piano festivals where I received partial and full tuition scholarships, including Brevard Music Center and Las Vegas Music Festival.  I have participated in master classes with James Giles, Mykola Suk and Vladimir Feltsman.  I have attended numerous piano and flute workshops to enhance my teaching skills and received a $900 Teacher Enrichment Grant from the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) in 2004.  I attended the prestigious SUNY (State University of New York)-New Paltz Piano Festival in 2009, where I received lessons from Vladimir Feltsman, Susan Starr and Robert Roux.  Most recently, I attended the 2013 Washington International Piano Festival at Catholic University in DC and was selected to perform at the Kennedy Center's Millenium Stage.

Music lessons take place in a stress-free environment -- your home-where you can relax and focus. 
 
Piano students who join Love's Music Lessons, LLC will become equipped with strong basics and learn to play with confidence and speed.  Ms. Love has a patient yet friendly demeanor and ultimately wants to instill a love of music in her students that will last a lifetime.  

Emphasis is placed upon technique, rhythm and sound from the start.  Mrs. Love provides a more serious approach to classical piano lessons, but also has derived ways to make piano more enjoyable, especially for the younger beginner.  I can teach all ages and levels, especially a young beginner.  I can teach students as young as 4 1/2 years old provided that the parents are actively involved in the learning process.  Parents must be willing to sit with the younger beginner while they practice for the first six months of piano lessons.  It might also be necessary to take lessons twice per week. 
 
Ms. Love emphasizes the Russian school of piano playing and utilizes repertoire and technique materials by Peskanov and the Russian School of Piano Playing.  Emphasis is placed on hand and wrist position, developing firm fingertips, maintaining a relaxed wrist and using the wrists to improve technical facility.  Rotation of the wrists is of utmost importance in playing Beethoven, Haydn, and Mozart piano sonatas.  Improper piano technique such as flat fingers and hands that are not level with the keys can lead to injuries later in life and slow down a beginner's progress.
 
Ms. Love incorporates major and minor scales, cadences, technical exercises and etudes in her piano lessons.  Music theory, ear training, sight-reading, and transposition are provided for intermediate to advanced-level students who take a forty-five minute lesson.
