Piano with Heather Yonker

About Heather

Learn about Heather’s training, experience, and welcoming Madison piano studio.

A polished black grand piano with its lid elegantly propped open, glossy surface reflecting subtle studio lights, stands in a modern Madison teaching studio. Behind it, a neat wall of sound-absorbing panels and a large window hint at an urban neighborhood outside, slightly blurred. A tidy instructor’s desk with a closed laptop and a small plant sits to one side, suggesting a professional private lesson setting. Soft, even studio lighting creates gentle highlights along the piano’s curves and keys, with calm shadows beneath. Photographic realism, eye-level composition, and moderate depth of field keep the piano in sharp focus while the background softly recedes, conveying a professional, welcoming atmosphere for all levels of students.

A spiral-bound lesson notebook and a sleek digital metronome rest on the closed music stand, hinting at structured private instruction. The piano sits in a bright Madison studio, with a blurred hint of a doorway and a subtle wall map in the background to suggest location and easy contact. Soft afternoon window light washes across the keys from the left, creating delicate reflections and gentle shadows, while the mood remains calm, focused, and professional. Shot from a slightly angled perspective with shallow depth of field, emphasizing the tactile beauty of the keys and teaching tools.
