Cece is an amazing music teacher. Her attention and calmness has been instrumental to our little one enjoying learning the piano. Our daughter is always happy after every lesson and genuinely looks forward to her next lesson. We initially worried that our little one would lose interest of learning the piano, but with Cece she is always more interested and excited after every lesson.

We are so lucky to have found Cece as a piano teacher for our 6 year old daughter. Cece individualizes her lessons with our daughter based on personal strengths and our daughter’s preferences. They have fun and create! This level of devotion and care for her students inspires passion for music and a drive to continue learning. This morning our daughter asked if she could go to piano everyday!

Kids who study music with Cece Yentzen at Lake Hills Music School are very lucky. They get access to a lifelong musician with an approach to teaching that's personalized for each and every student. My daughter studied guitar with Cece, and wanted to learn Billie Eilish, so for her first few lessons, Cece simplified a Billie Eilish song for her so that it could be played with just three chords. After each lesson, Cece followed up with me by email with a description of how the lesson went and what to do for practice at home. One big advantage of studying with Cece is that she teaches multiple instruments, as well as music theory, music reading, and songwriting. This allows young students like my daughter to explore many different aspects of a musical education, if they wish. Another big advantage is Cece herself. She's kind, fun, intelligent, and interested in her students. If your child studies with Cece, you'll know he or she is with a wonderful person and a good influence.

About Lake Hills Music School

Lake Hills Music School is the result of Cece Yentzen's lifetime passion for music. Cece founded the school in 2019 to help music students of all ages pursue their own passion for music. The school offers personalized instruction in piano, guitar, baritone ukulele, concert ukulele, music theory, reading, improvisation and songwriting. Lessons are available in person or online.

Cece grew up in a musical home, and started her own musical journey at age 5 when she began both piano and music theory lessons and public performance with a group called Generation Span. She continued to play piano and sang in choirs throughout elementary and high school. One of her many performances during this period included singing the national anthem at a Los Angeles Angels game with the group Sound Foundation.

Cece attended University of Louisiana at Monroe, LA with multiple music scholarships for participation in the marching band Sound of Today, Concert Chorale, and Percussion Ensemble. While at college, Cece competed in the Percussive Art Society International Convention (PASIC) with her brother Kelly and the percussion ensemble, where they performed an adaptation of Candide.

Cece also performed in Monroe Symphony Orchestra’s percussion section for their performance of Carmina Burana.

Halfway through her college education, Cece decided to side step her musical career in order to become an occupational therapist (OT). Cece worked as an OT for 25 years, treating a variety of clients: from children with learning disabilities to adults with neurological or orthopedic impairments. Through this work, Cece helped a variety of professional musicians return to their musical careers after acute injury.

Throughout her OT career Cece continued her musical pursuits, composing her own songs, and playing in a variety of bands, filling any spots that were needed: drums, guitar, ukulele, bass and/or vocals; She also continued her musical education along the way, taking courses under Pat Pattison, a professor at Berklee College of Music, and even the renowned Australian guitarist, songwriter and singer Tommy Emmanuel. Cece also worked as a session musician, providing organ, piano, guitar and backing vocals.

After 25 years in the medical field, Cece retired her OT license in order to be a full- time homeschooling mom, musician, writer and music teacher. She can also be found performing at various venues throughout Austin and Lakeway as a singer-songwriter.
