What my students say
My students’ stories are the true measure of my teaching - here’s what they have to say
We feel so lucky to have found you to teach the girls. You have an amazing balance of giving them pointers and growing their skills, while allowing enough flexibility for each girl to bring her full self to the lesson.
I'm really pleased with how the lessons are working out for Andrew. In the past, when we've done the typical weekly in-person lessons, it was always a stressor for him to try to learn everything that was assigned before his next lesson. With the online lessons, that stress is gone. He just goes at his own pace and he goes on to the next lesson whenever he feels he's ready. As he's been progressing through the lessons, I've noticed that he's more likely to sit down at the piano on his own, just for his own enjoyment, and try to sound out songs he knows. I'm really happy that we found your program.
Rose is absolutely loving the lessons with you and it’s wonderful to see her practising daily and being inspired again. Thank you so much for taking her on.
Wow Katie! You are amazing. This is amazing. Thanks very much for the recording of the lesson and also for the explanations on how to find the videos- I struggled to find the right twinkle exercise. Really appreciate all you do. Alice is really enjoying seeing the improvements. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for all your wonderful teaching the past 8 years! I have learnt so much, including coming to really love playing the piano. You have been a very patient, kind teacher. Thank you again!
Katie is really patient, encouraging and creates a safe, gentle learning environment. I really look forward to coming to lessons. It’s special time out of a busy week that I can relax and spend with my daughter.
Thanks so much for all you do! We are so enjoying the journey, and especially the flexibility of online video lessons. The way you bring in the “Rhythm Train” books has been a really helpful introduction to music reading.
The progress Jesse and Rose have made since they have had lessons with you is nothing short of amazing. They have renewed enthusiasm for the violin and are visibly enjoying themselves as they practice and learn. Well done for inspiring their love of the instrument!
