Experienced tutor in Piano in Grand Rapids, Susan offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

In 2019 and 2010 I was directing a production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado". I had looked everywhere for an accompanist, short of accompanying the production myself as well as directing, and I was not convinced that I could do both. I'm not even sure now how we exactly came into contact with each other, but Sainz and I did make a connection, and within two weeks of the performance, she not only accompanied rehearsals remaining, including the performances with concert skill in October of 2009 at a major venue in Lafayette - The historic Long Center Theater, but also undertook accompanying the production once again in January 2010 after the cast, comprised of individuals from Bloomington, Indiana to Lafayette, Indiana, desired to perform it again at a High School in Lafayette, Indiana. I have absolute faith that anyone who works with Susan at StudioSainz will have the best results in learning to play, as well as the skill to perform at any level their determination drives them to achieve. Higher than 10 stars as I would consider this fine teacher and accompanist.

She is a highly talented musician....both in voice and piano.

My daughter started piano and voice lessons with Susan at a early age. She got to her and recognized her areas of potential very quick. We noticed huge improvements both musically and vocally in a very short time. She also created a friendship with my daughter, that brought a easier to work with comfort zone. I highly recommend Susan to anyone and any age.
