I have been teaching piano for 25 years. For 8 years, I’ve focused on the Taubman Approach, and the past 3 focused specifically on technical pedagogy for children.

I see every day in my studio how engaged, interested, and motivated children become when they are invited into the problem-solving process. When students see that achieving technical and musical goals is a process of learning foundational movements and then troubleshooting to find root sources of their struggles, rather than ‘trying harder for at least 10 minutes a day’, they become much more willing to participate.

I have been practicing the Gokhale Method for five years now, and have been a certified teacher for two years. Helping musicians lessen back and neck pain through posture education is a privilege. 

The Gokhale Method and my work with children’s piano pedagogy are completely different offerings.

“She guided me to feel the proper technique in my body.”
"As a music teacher, finding an experienced, qualified piano instructor who genuinely cares about kids' music education was crucial. After extensive research and numerous calls, I joined Sigrun's waitlist. Sigrun is an excellent teacher who continually refines her craft, ensuring a high-quality learning experience for her students."
-Courtney Lindl, Madison, WI
"Sigrun has a patient, clear, and compassionate teaching style"
"Sigrun has a patient, clear, and compassionate teaching style that makes the Gokhale Method accessible to anyone. Using what I learned in her Foundations class, I was able to finish a 180-mile Camino de Santiago with minimal pain and without injury. Highly recommend!"
-Sara Beachy, Madison WI
"She listens to our daughter’s interests and tailors the lessons to challenge and inspire her."
"Our experience with Sigrun has been incredibly positive. Our daughter started taking lessons when she was 4 years old and her piano playing, music reading and understanding of music theory have progressed impressively over the last five years. Sigrun is patient and supportive. She listens to our daughter’s interests and tailors the lessons to challenge and inspire her. We appreciate the different opportunities to perform, and particularly love the holiday recital in the Capitol Rotunda. Sigrun makes learning piano fun for our daughter and we find piano to be a valuable part of her education."
-Kirk Haskins and Monet Hutchins, Madison WI
"Working with Sigrun has allowed me to play music I never thought I could play. She makes learning hard things challenging and rewarding, but still really fun!"
-Magdalena Cox, Madison WI (age 15)
