"Claire is an incredible teacher. She makes lessons fun, engaging, and my kids always look forward to their lessons! I so appreciate Claire's dedication. She gives her students ample opportunity to perform in a way that feels fun instead of full of pressure. I have loved watching my kids gain their own confidence and sense of autonomy because of Claire's belief in them! What an amazing teacher to be able to instill that in her students! I can't recommend her enough."

"My daughter has taken lessons from Claire for a couple of years, and has had nothing short of an amazing experience. I thought we were signing up for lessons, but in reality we joined a great piano community complete with partner lessons, fun events, multiple recitals and even a summer camp! Claire does a great job of making lessons fun, and meets her students where they are. I wish piano lessons were like this when I was a kid!"

"Claire has been a wonderful teacher for our 12-year-old son. She encourages him to practice and improve while maintaining a laid back, yet structured learning environment. Claire wants her students to be confident with their skills and give back to the community; they even played their songs at Von Maur for the Christmas holiday! We will send our daughter to her as well. Thank you, Roach Piano Studio!"
-Katrina Longe
"Claire is absolutely wonderful! She has taught both our daughter and son piano. She is incredibly patient, knowledgeable and engaged with our children. They are both eager to attend weekly lessons with her and excited to practice and demonstrate their new skills and understanding of the piano. Claire has introduced our children to awesome local musical events such as the Piano Trophy Festival, the Fun Fair, and numerous recital opportunities. She incorporates not only an understanding of how to play the piano but also music theory and reading music. We are so blessed to have her teaching our children!"

Claire is patient, kind and encouraging. She finds ways to motivate and get the kids excited about piano.

"Over the past four years, three of our kids have taken lessons from Mrs. Roach. All of them have enjoyed their lessons. She is a great teacher and the kids are progressing (especially the one who practices the most!). It's always entertaining when they come home with information about the composer of the month so we can research who it might be. She makes it fun - and challenging - to encourage their growth. I have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so!"
-Marie Stamm
"We have one daughter who started lessons in kindergarten with Mrs. Roach. Our daughter loves that Mrs. Roach is kind, patient, and helpful. Mrs. Roach helped our daughter be braver front of large groups of people, and our now first-grader loves the recitals! We have a soon-to-be kindergartener who can't wait to stary lessons with Mrs. Roach next year, too!"
-Danielle Dring
"Claire has been an incredible piano teacher for our son, Elijah. Over the past year, we’ve watched not only his piano skills grow, but also his confidence and enjoyment of music.
One thing we especially appreciate about Claire is the deep care she has for building strong fundamental piano skills. She is thoughtful and intentional in the way she teaches, making sure her students truly understand technique, rhythm, and musicality instead of just memorizing songs. That strong foundation has helped Elijah grow tremendously while still keeping lessons enjoyable and engaging.
Claire creates such a positive and welcoming environment for her students. Elijah genuinely looks forward to lessons each week, which says a lot. She is patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about teaching. We’re so thankful for the care and attention she’s poured into him this past year and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a wonderful piano teacher."
-Alexandria Milliken
"Claire has taught all 3 of my boys over the years. She is truly wonderful and all of my boys love her, too! She is so intentional with her students and puts in so much effort to make learning fun for students of all ages and abilities. I highly recommend her studio!"
