Write a ReviewShe explained the rules fully, looking forward for my 12 year old to start
Very talented instructor. Builds confidence in her students. All age groups are welcomed and encouraged to learn and perform.
She's very knowledgable and relatable to teen students.
First lesson. She was thorough in explaining lesson plans and we began with breathing techniques. Looking forward to next week!
Mrs. K is doing a fantastic job with my son. He was excited about taking lessons but now he is thrilled about it and practicing daily. She is very patient and very good at explaining music to him in a way that he understands. Because of this I believe my son will excel and I am excited to see where this takes him.
+ Read MoreMs. K. is exceptional! My son is not a huge fan of taking piano lessons, it's something mom's strongly encouraging him to do. He's had three teachers in the past and this is the first time he's completed a lesson and was actually excited about it!
