Where Music Feels Like Home
Meet Ms. Jenny: Piano Teacher & Musical Guide
Meet Ms. Jenny, the owner, instructor, and your biggest supporter at Home Sweet Piano. Since 2019, she has offered one-on-one lessons for students of all ages and experience levels, from curious preschoolers to adult beginners.
Ms. Jenny’s path as a musician is a little different. She’s a self-taught pianist and ukulele player who firmly believes that anyone can learn to make music; no matter their age, background, or ability. That belief is the foundation of every lesson she teaches.
Her approach is playful, supportive, and customized to each individual student. Lessons are pressure-free, inviting learners to explore music at their own pace in a calm and encouraging space. What brings her the most joy? Watching students build confidence and find their own musical voice and talent.
Home Sweet Piano
At Home Sweet Piano, we believe music should feel like comfort, like belonging: like Home. The name is inspired by a simple truth; wherever the piano was in the house growing up, that’s where home was.
My favorite memories come from afternoons on the porch, listening to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” echoing from the living room piano. That love, that calm; that’s the feeling we hope every student carries with them when they sit down at their instrument.
Whether you're three years old and curious about music or an adult finally taking that leap into lessons you've always dreamed of, Home Sweet Piano offers a space that welcomes you as you are.
The Tools That Shape Your Musical Journey
Every great learning experience starts with a strong foundation. At Home Sweet Piano, we use tried-and-true curriculum materials to support progress and spark joy in playing. Our core resources include:
- Alfred d’Auberge Piano Series – This series is recommended for students aged 9 to Adult, or for those who have prior piano or music exposure.
- WunderKeys Preschool Programs – This program, recommended for ages 3 to 5 years old, focuses on rudimentary fundamentals and slowly builds on those skills, seamlessly preparing students for the primer series.
- WunderKeys Primer Series – Created for early learners who have had little or no prior piano experience, this series is ideal for active young minds.
- Beginner Ukulele Resources – Ukulele lessons are recommended for students aged 8 to Adult, due to the hand-size requirement for reaching the strings.
How We Teach & Why It Matters
At Home Sweet Piano, every lesson is rooted in the belief that music is for everyone. Students of all learning styles and abilities are welcomed; including those with ADHD, neurodivergence, and physical or cognitive challenges. The goal is to meet each student where they are, with patience, flexibility, and encouragement.
Lessons are relaxed, one-on-one, and focused on creating a safe space to explore. Small victories are celebrated, breaks are always okay, and mistakes are seen as part of the process.
At the core of the teaching philosophy is a simple but powerful idea: connection over perfection, growth over pressure. Students are encouraged to come just as they are; and together, music will follow.

Ms. Jenny first picked up the ukulele in 2020, during the stillness of the world, finding movement and joy in music. What began as a personal challenge soon blossomed into a passion that now plays a key role in Home Sweet Piano. Today, Ms. Jenny teaches beginner ukulele to students of all ages, using the same playful and patient approach that her piano students love.
