"In addition to Lenora's phenomenal mastery of the piano repertoire, her structured approach to improving my technique has tremendously improved my piano playing. She provides unique emphasis on posture, arm & elbow movement to reduce strain."
Mark Segelman
"Heather is an incredible piano teacher! She is structured, patient, meets the students where they are, & challenging in the best way. Our daughter grew so much with Heather. She taught her how to play with beautiful dynamics and emotion."
Ann Werner

Claire Sanderson
Lenora paved the way for me to perform concertos with orchestras, achieve success in competitions, & graduate with a Bachelor’s in Piano Performance. Now, as a graduate student at Berklee School of Music, I can confidently say that the foundational skills I honed through those early assignments have been crucial in my journey to becoming a proficient pianist.
Craig Petrocelli
"After many years of inspiring lessons with Heather, I attended the Berklee School of Music and then studied Creative Business for Entrepreneurs and Executives at the National Film and Television School (NFTS)."
Valerie Beers Wells
Lenora helped me develop a fast, accurate, and expansive technique. Her technical requirements are one of the biggest reasons that I went on to win competitions, perform concertos with orchestras, and earn my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Piano Performance. I attribute my success at the piano to Lenora and the technical training that she gave me.
Rinoa Oliver
Heather helped me achieve great success at the piano over the years. I won first place in the 2018 Santa Cruz Talent Bank Competition. I also performed in many county honors recitals because of my high achievements in the California Certificate of Merit Program.

Salt Lake Tribune
“Even among big-name pianists, there are remarkably few who can play music of Liszt and Chopin so convincingly. Frequently Liszt is played with such spasmodic, choppy surges that the music is incomprehensible. Chopin is often interpreted with excessive romanticism. Artur Rubinstein was a splendid exception and so is Lenora Brown”
Ed Reichel, Desert News
"Lenora Brown is an outstanding pianist who combines virtuosity with musicality. She delved into the Liszt and brought out the essence and character of this concerto. There was passion and fire in her performance, but also tenderness and disarming grace in an interpretation that was nuanced and deeply expressive.”
Northern Lights Piano Festival
“A very impressive and well-rehearsed performance of this challenging piece. The mother-daughter duo played with a very strong connection together, professional style and good feeling of each other’s parts. The whole performance was very beautiful and compelling.” NORTHERN LIGHTS PIANO FESTIVAL 2021 – GOLD AWARD
