Robert H.
"Robert started our Piano Express class last October and immediately began making amazing progress, progressing through 3 levels in 7 months. He is now well into level 4, which is significantly more challenging, and is still mastering each piece and making excellent progress. Robert is fun loving but very serious about his piano playing – a delight to teach!"
- Deb, Piano Teacher
Fayth R.
"Fayth began in Kindermusik Level 5 in the fall of 2020 and graduated from the Kindermusik program 2 years later. She has since moved from piano class to private piano lessons. She is a dedicated musician who practices regularly. She has become an excellent sight reader on piano and sings beautifully in the Southern Oregon Youth Ensemble. We are so delighted that she shares her musical talents with us!" - Deb, Choir Teacher & Heidi, Piano Teacher
