My husband and I relocated to Winter Springs, Florida in 2025 after I had lived in South Florida my whole life. I’ve been teaching piano for over 30 years, and I’m eager to continue sharing my love of music and expertise with students in this area.
I earned a Bachelor of Music Education degree, magna cum laude, from Florida State University, with piano as my principal instrument. I began my career teaching high school choral music, and then moved to middle school. My choral groups consistently received high ratings from the judges at assessment events. I later had a wonderful experience as a pre-school music teacher.
When my children were very young, I left the classroom and began to teach private piano and voice lessons in my home. My students have ranged in age from 5-year-olds to adults. I have loved getting to know each student and encouraging them in their musical growth.
As a member of Florida State Music Teachers Association, Central Florida Music Teachers Association, and Florida Federation of Music Clubs, I’m able to offer valuable performance and adjudication opportunities to my students.
I'm a registered provider with Florida Step Up for Students.
If you're interested in lessons, I'd love to hear from you! Send me a message with any questions you might have.

Ms. Frann is one of those rare teachers you never forget. She was my son’s first piano teacher, beginning when he was just five years old. He studied with her for three years before she moved to be closer to family.
Throughout those years, she was patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in his growth, always teaching at a pace that was right for him. Whether working with beginners or more advanced students, she created a warm and supportive environment where every child could succeed. Her studio classes and performances felt less like recitals and more like family gatherings, and it was a joy to watch all of the students grow together.
Today, five years into his piano journey, our son continues to make tremendous progress, and we know that much of his success is built on the strong foundation Ms. Frann provided. As parents, we are incredibly grateful for the role she played in introducing him to music and nurturing his love for it. We could not have asked for a better first piano teacher, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family considering piano lessons for their child.

We are extremely happy and grateful to have Mrs. Frann as Maia and Ella’s piano teacher. Maia has studied with her since she was very young, and it has been wonderful to see how much she has grown over the years—not only in her musical abilities, but also in her confidence, discipline, and appreciation for music.
Ella has also benefited greatly from Mrs. Frann’s patient, encouraging, and caring approach. She creates a positive environment where both girls feel supported while continuing to learn and challenge themselves.
Mrs. Frann is a dedicated and talented teacher who truly cares about her students. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a wonderful piano teacher.

Miss Frann was an excellent piano teacher for our 8 year old daughter. She taught her all the foundations, and instilled a love for piano and music. I would highly recommend her.

Miss Frann was an excellent teacher for my daughter. She is kind and patient, yet firm enough to instill discipline and encourage personal growth in both piano playing and music theory. What sets her apart is her program structure: the students participate not only in practicing the piano and learning songs, but also the benefit of music theory studies, group/peer classes, and multiple performance opportunities throughout the calendar year. Because of this, my daughter gained both a deeper understanding of music as well as confidence in performing in front of an audience. I highly recommend Miss Frann to any student who truly wants to learn the amazing life skill of piano!
