Welcome to our studio

Meet Renea Duelm

Renea Duelm is a classically trained pianist who has studied piano since the age of six. Since that time, she has been involved in various performances, competitions, and music ensembles, including church music. As a teenager, Renea began giving piano lessons and felt such a strong connection to the individuals she taught and the music they shared. This experience sparked her desire to pursue teaching professionally.

She went on to study piano performance with an emphasis in pedagogy at the James Madison University School of Music. While composers of the Romantic period, such as Chopin, Schubert, and Brahms, are among her favorites, music from different styles and periods is incorporated into lessons, and student input is strongly encouraged. To reinforce each student’s understanding of the music they play, theory and technique are essential components of study in her studio. Her goal is to instill both the enjoyment and discipline of music as a lifelong enrichment within a warm and encouraging environment.

Renea and her family have lived in Northern Virginia for over 20 years. When she is not at the piano, she enjoys spending time with her four daughters, cooking, reading, practicing bonsai, and designing quilts.
