If it was not for Torey, my daughter Ashley would have dropped piano after Grade 2. With Torey's teaching style Ashley was the one reminding me to make sure I had her signed up for the next session. It's been a delight over the years to see how much Ashley has improved to the point where now she will have piano skills for life and for that we want to say to Torey one big thank you!!

Torey has shown me such amazing patience, kindness, and guidance throughout every single lesson we've had together. With every year of lessons that passes, there is such a great improvement within my technique, practice, performance, and all around playing. Throughout my lessons with Torey, she has always shown my best interest in pieces and genres that I wanted to learn. Torey has made learning the piano such an amazing and beautiful experience, and even after 8 years - I still look forward to our lessons every single week.

I love having piano lessons with Torey. She is an amazing teacher! Torey pays attention to my pieces and my theory, and always corrects me if I'm doing something wrong. She always has a technique I could use for improving something. I find Torey very encouraging, and I feel that my playing and theory has improved a thousand times since I started lessons with her. I look forward to every lesson with my awesome teacher!

Torey is an excellent teacher for me, an adult returning to the piano after many years of absence. I feel very lucky to have found her. Lessons are always meaningful and productive, she is thoughtful about my abilities and interests, and is very good at exploring different ways to approach a piece or a problem to find one that works for me. She is always positive and encouraging, and gives me constructive suggestions for improving my playing as well as musical interpretation. She shows the desire and the ability to stay engaged and inspiring, and she is professional while remaining friendly and warm. I am happy that she has been so dedicated and innovative in continuing lessons during the pandemic. I think that Torey is naturally an excellent teacher, but she also puts a lot of thought into my lessons and it is always a pleasure to have a session with her.

Torey has been teaching our son piano since he was in first grade, and, now in grade 4, he continues to love his lessons with her. Torey has an amazing way of making lessons fun while also ensuring steady skill progression. She has such a wonderful energy and kids gravitate toward her. She is a consummate professional - always well prepared and organized. It was incredible watching the enthusiasm and effort she brought to moving lessons and recitals online during the pandemic. Whether in person or online, we have felt so fortunate to have her teaching our son and would recommend her without hesitation.

I can honestly say that I cannot imagine having a better teacher. Torey is very knowledgeable, creative, and, most importantly, she genuinely cares about her students. Teaching an adult student can pose many challenges, but whether it was sight reading, playing technique, learning new tunes, advanced music theory, or even composition, Torey has always been ready to meet the challenge with great results. I would highly recommend Torey to any student looking for a talented, innovative and personable teacher.

Torey is an exceptional piano teacher who found the way to be at once a friend and mentor for my daughter. I am really grateful for Torey's special attitude to inspire my daughter and help her nurture her love for playing piano.

Torey is an excellent piano instructor. During my classes she was always so patient and taught piano so that I could learn at the same pace as the pieces progressed in difficulty. I enjoyed my years of piano playing very much!

Michael Partridge

We were extremely pleased to have Torey as Michael's piano instructor; she was nurturing and kind, she cared about his learning and respected him as a person. She also challenged him when she felt he could push himself further. And when we had the chance to hear her play, she did so with an easy grace, truly lovely!
