​About Private Piano:
Our daughter has been taking piano lessons for about two and a half years, we’ve been very pleased with Nanci. Wella enjoys her teacher and her lessons and is progressing very well. - R. Slough
Nanci is an excellent teacher and I enjoy my lessons with her! - W. Slough (Student, age 16) 
My two granddaughters were piano students of Nanci Harms. Their experience with Nanci was always positive! Even when they missed practicing as many times as they should, or weren't always in the best mood for a piano lesson, Nanci was always patient, loving and used humor to teach her students! Nanci is so creative, and is constantly seeking new ideas to keep her students motivated! She offers challenges where they earn points for practicing as well as other piano related activities and are rewarded with a party at Nanci's home afterwards. The parties were fun, and the girls enjoyed them immensely! No teacher could have tried harder with my granddaughters than Nanci! When they both decided that piano was not their passion, they said it had nothing to do with Mrs. Harms! They loved her and they miss her even after their decision to terminate their lessons! All three of us would highly recommend Mrs. Nanci Harms if you are interested in piano or have a child or grandchild that wants to play! - V. Bounds,
​D. Skimin (student), and B. Baca (student)
"I like playing the piano because its fun and awesome and people get the best piano teacher like me and when you grow up and keep on playing it you will get better and better  and that's why I like piano ... wait no I LOVE piano and I'm happy  I play it."  D. Skimin (age 9, written as an essay on why she wanted to play piano) 
My daughter has taken piano lessons from Mrs. Harms for several years. She has taught my daughter to pay attention to details and to listen to the music. My daughter's advancement has come from positive reinforcement from Mrs. Harms. I highly recommend anyone (child or adult) that would like to learn how to play the piano to contact Mrs. Harms. - V. Porter
About the Music Classes:

Teacher Nanci is dedicated and passionate  about her love for music and it shows through how she interacts with her students.  Her music class has taught my son music vacabulary, learning rhythm, and has exposed him to a variety of instruments in such a short period of time. She has a creative way of using age-appropriate techniques such as puppets and props to engage and captivate her students' attention.   We have been truly blessed and grateful to be a part of her music studio and encourage all parents and their little ones to experience "It's Music Time."  -

It's Music Time  has been a one-of-a-kind opportunity for our grandkids (2 and 5 years old) to be in her classes.   Teacher Nanci's  style and passion  are unparalleled . -  C.   Guadiz  
Teacher Nanci is so amazing! I have all 3 of my boys, ages 3, 2, and 7 months, enrolled and they love it. They can't wait to get to music class each week and learn new songs, play their instruments, make new friends, and  have fun!  I highly recommend signing your littles up for music class. -

My daughter LOVES music class, especially the big drum. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to enrich their child’s development!   - B. Grano
I love how the kids are learning how to play different instruments and learn music vocabulary! The class also incorporates teaching the kids pitch and how to sing! It's great!! - Y. Mercado
My 5 year old daughter absolutely LOVES this music class. She was very hesitant to try it in the beginning but halfway through the 1st class she came to me and whispered that she wanted to keep coming. She has just begun her 3rd set of "It's Music Time" classes and is thoroughly enjoying music! Mrs. Harms provides a very fun, active and positive environment for the kids to learn music. And they learn a lot!! -  J. Winters-Ambriz
"It's Music Time" is a great way for kids to get acquainted with music and gain an early foundation of music concepts. I loved having my kids participate in the classes. They had a lot of fun and I must admit that I did too. We even enjoyed doing the homework - like practicing moving our fingers and learning right/left!! So important for their development! - L. Schmidt
My three year old son loves going to Music Time! Nanci is great at keeping kids engaged throughout the session as well as teaching parents the importance of music education. My son sings the songs from music class all week long. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for an engaging way to show children the value of music and reap the benefits of exposing children to music from a young age. We look forward to continuing with Nanci and also starting our 3 month old in her baby class. - K. Mitchell
It is very apparent that Ms. Nanci loves teaching children music, and she is good at it. 
My daughter really enjoys her class. She especially likes how Ms. Nanci incorporates puppets in the learning of the songs and music terms. The kids in my daughters class are learning music and don’t even realize it because they are having so much fun. - A. Escobar
My girls attended the class and absolutely loved it! Nanci is very creative, and while kids are learning a lot they have so much fun doing it .  -  L. Pandit
My daughter has been going for about 6 months and LOVES it!! She loves music and dance and meeting new friends! Miss Nanci is so great with the kiddoes.  - L.  Ingrodi
If you’re looking for a great place to bring your infant or toddler, this is the place. My daughter Ivy goes here and has shown some great potential for music. Right now the baby is learning about beat and rhythm, dance, and singing. She has fun and has made lots of new friends. Teacher Nanci shows much patience for these little musicians and plays a wide variety of music and instruments for them. The kids even have their own instruments that they play for certain song pieces. Parents, you will get a nice little opportunity to bond with your baby during this time, especially if your child enjoys themselves. Come join us and see for yourself.    - M. Ingrodi
My granddaughter loves going to music class! She has so much fun. I highly recommend it.  - S. Ramirez
Our little one looks forward to class each week! Love that she’s getting exposed to different instruments and songs. The class size allows for a balance of some individual attention while socializing with other students. Highly recommend!   - S. Nimri
So grateful to have found this (Toddler) music class for Adeline!  She's pretty quiet and observant in class - she participates but doesn't say much - but at home, she LOVES to sing the songs and dance around! I am amazed by how much Adeline has picked up from the weekly 45 minute classes. And Teacher Nanci Harms is wonderful with the kiddos! You can tell she loves what she does.
