My two teenage boys have taken piano from Kymberly for two years- they went from hating piano with their previous teacher to LOVING it with Kymberly! No more nagging them to practice- they would do it on their own and they loved the music they got to play. If she has openings, don’t walk, RUN to get a spot! Thank you Kymberly for all your hard work!

Over the span of a year, I routinely sat in on my daughter’s weekly lessons with Kymberly, and so I can speak with some authority on her approach and qualities as a teacher. Kymberly was highly effective at engaging our daughter and encouraging her active participation. She successfully led her to think about technique and interpretation and was always careful to affirm her insights and efforts. She set appropriate goals and offered plentiful encouragement, thereby building confidence and firing up my daughter’s motivation. Invaluable to me as a parent were Kymberly’s written summaries of what was to be practiced in the week between lessons. All of this was accomplished with the greatest patience and an unflaggingly sunny disposition. Kymberly’s approach worked wonders with my daughter, and we consider ourselves to have been most fortunate to have had her as a teacher.

Miss Kymberly was my daughter Olivia’s first piano teacher. Olivia was only 5 years old and on the autism spectrum, so my husband and I weren’t sure how Olivia would do. Miss Kymberly was the perfect first teacher for her. She was patient, kind, and super positive. Olivia left each week feeling confident about her newfound knowledge and was excited to learn more. Miss Kymberly adjusted her lessons whenever necessary, especially when Olivia was feeling squirmish that week. I especially appreciated how patient she was with Olivia and how she genuinely was interested in my daughter. If you are looking for a piano teacher who cares for your child and is able to adjust to their needs, I highly recommend Miss Kymberly.

Organ Testimonials

Kymberly is an AMAZING piano/organ teacher who absolutely loves what she does! She is always patient, organized, naturally connected to her students and knows how to engage them in learning and practice. My son has been learning playing organ with Kymberly the past four years. What impressed me most is that instead of simply handing out a weekly practice assignment at the end of each lesson, she always involves him in making the practice plan for the following week. This is brilliant and greatly motivates my high school son to learn and stick with his weekly practice.​

I have loved taking organ lessons from Kymberly. She is well trained and knows how to explain and fix the difficulties/mistakes I would make. She selected repertoire for me that motivated and inspired me to practice and progress. She always treated me with respect. She is friendly and patient and provided me with the tools I needed to develop as a musician . Kymberly always kept things fresh and interesting. She expected much of me and I am better for it.
