Experienced tutor in Piano in Pittsburgh, Valerie offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I would highly recommend my piano teacher, Valerie Stipcak. She is patient, kind and encouraging as well as professionally accomplished. Her students range from pre-school to adults. I'm a senior adult and look forward to our weekly lessons. I'm more than pleased with my progress and have already recommended Miss Valerie for two of my grandchildren.

Planting and cultivating the seeds of piano technique and understanding, Miss Val works with her students, including myself, to grow their pianist abilities while her kind and understanding nature creates a comforting class atmosphere to be greatly enjoyed.

We adore Miss Valerie - our daughter has been taking both piano and voice lessons with her for years. Not only is she a great teacher but a wonderful person. We are amazed at the progress our daughter has made and she looks forward to her time with Miss Valerie every week.

Miss Val is very knowledgeable and helpful, she is patient with her students. I recommend her as a piano teacher.

Miss Val is absolutely wonderful! She began working with my daughter less than a year ago, and in that time period, my daughter’s singing range has improved dramatically, and she has gained a great deal of confidence in her ability as well. Val is extremely kind, nurturing, and a truly gifted musician and teacher. We are very grateful to have the opportunity to work with Val, and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a music instructor.

She is nice and easy to learn with

Wonderful teacher who knows how to address each student’s needs! Also the recitals she puts together give the students great performance opportunities.

Miss Val is an amazing teacher! Her experience, education and expertise are a rare find for a music teacher. She always goes above and beyond for our family and I am sure for all of her students. I know she generally has a waiting list, but it is worth getting on in or grabbing an opening when they pop up. You won't regret it.

Miss Val is fantastic! She’s so very talented, a phenomenal teacher, and has a great way with kids. My daughter can’t wait to see her each week and has learned so much already in very short time❤️ Highly recommend to anyone considering music lessons!

She personalizes a course for each individual student, and helps you set goals

Val is very patient, positive, encouraging and able to accurately and consistently make suggestions for improvement in a diplomatic but clear challenging manner through her skilled teaching and knowledge.
