We came to Izzy Anderson when our piano teacher found a new teaching job. We were very attached to our teacher and felt nervous about finding someone new. After our child’s trial lesson, we knew Ms. Anderson was the right teacher for us. First of all, our daughter came out of the lesson smiling. She was very excited to work with this kind, fun instructor. When we spoke to Ms. Anderson about moving our daughter into competitions and festivals, she was happy to do some research to explore what would be right for her. She was also willing to adopt our former teacher’s method of assigning piano practice, a method that has worked for us. Overall, we find Ms. Anderson to be accommodating, motivating to our daughter – who has improved immeasurably under her tutelage, and a pleasure to have as our piano teacher.

Izzy Anderson has been a delight to work with as we have watched our daughter grow in musicianship and enjoyment of the piano over the past year and a half.  Her flexibility in musical styles has been so helpful because not all students want to play the classics. Izzy knew just how to work a little “classical mellow magic” into the lessons so that our daughter not only agreed to participate in the San Antonio Music Teacher’s Association Achievement Auditions last spring, but received a “Superior” rating as well.

Izzy uses the latest and greatest technology (texts, digital lesson plans, email, etc.)  to keep up with parents’ and students’ busy lives, so we are always on the same page as far as lessons, recitals and other events are concerned.  She has been a friend and encourager as well as a teacher, and it has been a privilege to get to know her.  Oh, and don’t forget to check out her original artwork!

Izzy Anderson is a phenomenal teacher. Our daughter always looks forward to her lessons with Izzy because Izzy has such a wonderful teaching style and is such a remarkable person (besides a full teaching schedule, Izzy also finds time to pursue interests such as art and volunteer work). She is friendly, nurturing, and approachable yet is also able to get the best from her students. She manages to gently keep her students on track with an encouraging word. Of particular note is the fact that Izzy goes out of her way to help our daughter find musical pieces that are of interest to her–pieces that will keep her motivated to practice and perform. In addition, when life has gotten busy and our daughter hasn’t been able to practice as much as she’d like, Izzy has helped her find ways to more efficiently practice to get the most out of the time she is able to spend on piano. We highly recommend Izzy as a piano instructor!

Art lessons can be so inspiring, fun, and encouraging. I took a group painting lesson instructed by Izzy Anderson and what a joy it was! Izzy instructed us in a way that was easy to follow and at the same time encouraged our own creativity. I have my painting hanging on the wall at home and enjoy seeing what I created. I also did a 30-day art challenge per Izzy’s prompts. I love drawing but hadn’t done it in many years. I appreciated the opportunity to start drawing again. Some pictures were fun, some more challenging, and some very artistic. I really enjoyed the variety and the encouragement from Izzy. It was great!
