“I was trained to be a concert pianist. For decades, thousands of hours of my life went into my music. Only when I began teaching did I realize that in addition to being able to create beautiful music, I could show others how to do the same. That, to me, was magic.”
-Mary Wendelken, Founder WPS
In addition to being renown as an incredibly gifted and inspiring pianist, Mary is an exemplary teacher.

Mary Wendelken is one-of-a-kind in the music teaching world. With her I was able to take 1st place at state-wide piano competitions and receive a music scholarship to the University of Florida’s School of Music.
