I worked with Rebecca for a little over a year before I sadly had to move.
As an adult learner, I was a little worried about finding a teacher that would work well with me. I'm so glad I found Rebecca! Having now worked with a few teachers, I can confidently say that I struck gold. Rebecca breaks down difficult passages and works with your hands to find the right fingerings and arm movements. As an expert in the Taubman approach, she is masterful at being mindful of your body movements. This was a whole dimension of piano I had previously unexplored and led directly to improvements in my playing.
She also has a great ear and is able to give specific, actionable feedback on different ways to play passages or be more expressive.
And lastly, she is a joy to be around and hear play. She hosts recitals and workshops so that you can play in front of a set of peers of fellow learners. As someone with stage anxiety, I was so grateful to be able to have that safe space to play and get feedback.
My only regret is moving! If I ever move back to the bay area, I'll be right back in her studio. Thank you Rebecca!
My name is Jim, and I have been studying with Rebecca for nearly 3 years.
She is a wonderful teacher. Thoroughly versed in all aspects of the piano, with a deep understanding of technique and musicality (invaluable Taubman method for ease and grace at the piano), and a wide repertoire of piano literature to draw from.
Most importantly, she has a very keen eye for what a student needs at a given time. I always feel that she is on my side and truly tries to help me grow.
She has my highest recommendation.

Rebecca has helped me take my playing to a new level. She brings attention to how you physically relate to the piano to help create the sound you're looking for. The lessons are structured in a way that optimizes learning and focuses on troubled areas which allows for improvement in a short time. I'm so glad I found her studio, it truly has reignited my love of piano.
Lessons with Rebecca have led to striking results in my playing!
Before studying with Rebecca, despite many years of studying Jazz piano, I still used to feel limited by my technical ability. Playing with the speed, tone, and feel of my favorite pianists often felt out of reach.
Since beginning lessons with Rebecca, I feel like a different player. Much of the seemingly impossible is now easy and has completely opened up the piano for me!
I've been taking piano from Rebecca Bogart for many years and the last lesson was as interesting and instructive as the first.
Rebecca is very knowledgeable in terms of both technique and musical interpretation.
She can really pin-point the problems, and tell you how to solve them.
Not only does she understand what is needed to play the piano well, but she is enjoyable to work with. I really like coming to lessons.
I've gained so much from her, can do things that I thought were just not possible for me.
She's an excellent teacher, and I highly recommend her..
