I have been taking piano lessons at Pangloss for several months and I couldn't be happier. Ms. Brimberry's teaching style is engaging and effective. - Helen A.

Patti is an accomplished professional who is approachable and encouraging. She is able to meet a student at their own level and maintains a positive
atmosphere and a good sense of humor. Patti is able to supply/suggest interesting pieces of music that a beginner can play. - Gretchen S.

Patti is exactly what I was looking for in a piano teacher! I'm 30 years old and have frustratingly tried every online course and method available. Patti was immediately able to give feedback on all of the things a computer never could, like technique, form, and sound. She is SO knowledgeable about all things music and you can tell she is very passionate about sharing that knowledge with others. I've been taking lessons with her for about 12 months now and highly recommend her! - Mar F.

Patti is very pleasant and knowledgeable, and instructs in a supportive way (lots of positive reinforcement). As an older student (older than Patti!), I appreciate feeling on equal ground with my teacher - we are able to communicate very comfortably. She also has provided me with many tips for effective
practicing. - Linda K. G.

She is responsive to my interests as an older student. She is teaching me the nuances of playing. She is easy to get along with. Has such a wealth of knowledge. - Cynthia P.

I am taking lessons from Patti and hope to continue for a long time. She is the kind of teacher who teaches the way she feels I might best learn and I do learn. Can't say enough GREAT words about her! - Carolyn K.

She's very kind and knows what she's doing. She has a lot of experience and knows how to mix things up and make them better. - Brianna L.

Great! - James P.

Students come from the Albuquerque Metro area, East Mountains, Rio Rancho, Socorro, Carrizozo, Corrales, and elsewhere. I travel to Los Ranchos one day a week.
