Although Cheryl Ann Boc Chidester’s art can be described as eclectic, it shares common themes strongly inspired by nature, her travels and experiences, and by her love of history. These themes are often interconnected in her art, as well as our world. While places, and people and their culture, offer unique perspectives and experiences, there are universal ideals and shared history, knowledge and spirit that transcends time and place. Cheryl strives to touch upon these connections.

Cheryl works in a variety of media combining techniques of texture, light and color to convey her impression of a subject matter, place, culture or moment. She appreciates exploring materials, methods and ideas, while staying true to them, as they guide her to a finished piece of art expressing an interpretation and shared experience. One of her joys in life is sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm of art.

While individual lessons are the mainstay, partner lessons are her favorite. What’s more fun than learning with a friend!
Marilyn studied music at Julliard and holds a certificate from the Richards Institute (Education Through Music – ETM).

Winston, a medium Goldendoodle, is her therapy dog partner. Together, they love to offer comfort and confidence to kids in need. She and her husband of 30+ years love to travel and have three extremely creative twenty-something-year-old sons and a daughter in college.
Marilyn can’t wait to help you/your child take their next steps in music!

Kay Girolamo
My story is probably like that of many people who take up the piano. Maybe even yours?
I started playing at age six and took private lessons for about three years. I was no piano superstar. I was spectacularly average. However, the lessons taught me the fundamentals of music and gave me a life-long love of the piano. Growing up, I sang in school choirs and later in community choirs, but my family and my career in accounting kept me busy. There were months—sometimes even years—when I didn’t play the piano at all. But it’s something I’ve always been drawn back to.
Decades passed until I finally decided to get back to taking lessons.
In time, my own teacher began encouraging me to consider teaching. You never realize how much you know—and how much you still have to learn—until you teach. Working with students requires me to look at concepts from all kinds of different angles. They frequently come up with questions I’ve never thought to ask. I meet each student at their own skill level and constantly tailor my approach to how they’ll learn a given concept best. It’s exciting, challenging and not-just-a-little-bit humbling.
Teaching kids is fun; there’s so much energy there! With experience as an adult piano student myself, I also hold a special affinity for teaching adults. I really appreciate the slower, more thoughtful approach most adults have and the agency they take in their learning. I feel like I can be more of a personal tour-guide than an instructor: helping them understand the local language and customs (aka music theory), showing them sights they might not have found on their own (repertoire), and keeping them from unintentionally getting into too much trouble (piano technique).
I’d love to walk with you through your own piano journey!

In addition to his contributions to the classroom, Dan has also served as coach for sports and robotics teams. His most recent accomplishments as a robotics coach includes leading teams to national and world appearances in First Lego League robotics competitions, in Chile and Peru.
Dan is a passionate life-long learner that started his journey into teaching STEM by accident. As someone who likes to tinker and make things, his curiosity in robotics and CAD caught the eye of others and eventually turned into his day job.
“I imagine some might assume the focus of my classroom is programming and robotics but it’s really about people, teaching our kids how to work as members of a team, accept mistakes as valuable learning opportunities, and most importantly to learn about themselves. The high interest nature of robotics seems to do a good job keeping the kids engaged, sometimes challenging them to manage their frustrations or develop a new perspective applying their creativity to find solutions for the tech hiccups that naturally occur in robotics. Its a wonderful experience seeing a young mind acquire new skills in robotics but to see them develop a better understanding of self and improved problem-solving skills is the ultimate.”
