Review by Brigitte C.
"Peter taught my 5 1/2 year old son the piano for 8 months (only 8 months because Peter relocated, otherwise we would still be with him). Peter is great wi
th children! He assesses their individual needs and styles then adapts the lessons to the child. He has instilled the joy of playing the piano in our son which is priceless. Although, our son is a beginner, I have heard his advanced students play and they are amazing. I would definitely recommend Peter to any parent."

playing guitar but also the ear training and theory behind music in general and performance in particular."

"An Amazing Musician

Kathryn Gaudette is an incredibly talented artist in several areas of music. She also a compassionate, generous and deeply dedicated
teacher.
Classically trained and educated Kathryn sings, composes, plays several instruments - including keyboard and flute & even does excellent sound design.
Her work with Wily West Productions, a cutting edge theatre company in San Francisco, is nothing short of phenomenal. Kathryn has created incidental music for several original plays, working with a variety of directors, to deliver
"just the right music" they need for their shows. She has composed countless pieces of music in a vast array of styles from classic waltzes to rockin' mania. She has been a musical director for us delivering several surprise performances from her expert coaching - not only from the actors/singer but from members of the band. Kathryn has
also crafted/created unique and compelling foley sounds for us live - and also for recordings that greatly enhanced our productions. But wait! There's more!
Kathryn has an awesome rock band, Sit Kitty Sit, that has toured across the country and regularly performs at some of the hottest musical spots in San Francisco.
Kathryn is an amazing music coach, not just because she knows her stuff, but because she is a naturally sweet and nurturing person who deeply cares about the people she is working with - plus she has a wicked sense of humor. So, whether you need some music written, or you want to learn to play an instrument, or polish that sonata, or rip up that rock tune - look no further than Kathryn Gaudette - she is spectacularly awesome. Your outlook on music and what is possible will never be the same!"

Review by Ruby
"My daughter took her 1st lesson with Krisina today. Kristina was warm, caring and my daughter cannot wait for next session, which is always a great sign.
As I did not go into the lesson, I can only rate by my daughter's enthusiasm, which was high!
My daughter is doing this only for personal benefit-she is a 12 year old beginner. Hope this is helpful."
