My years at the Conservatory with Miniona remain some of my fondest memories. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been her student, as she always encouraged me to push beyond my limits and explore my musical goals and aspirations with kindness and genuine support.
She also helped me refine my technique by quickly identifying the root cause of any difficulty. With clear explanations and carefully chosen exercises, as well as thoughtful adjustments to movement, touch, and posture, she consistently found effective ways to help me overcome technical challenges.

After earning my Piano Certificate and taking a break from playing for several years, I resumed piano lessons with Miniona Demierre, following a program centered on the great classical piano repertoire, including works by Bach, Haydn, Chopin, and Brahms.
Through her encouragement, attentive guidance, and consistently thoughtful and insightful feedback, Miniona helped me regain the technical and musical level I had achieved before my break. I am deeply grateful for her support and dedication.
