"While many music teachers are great musicians, few seem to know how to engage younger students. At least that’s what we found before we met Kate Kent. A passionate, talented musician, Kate understands how kids learn best and uses games to teach techniques and strategies that our son understands and remembers. He loves going to her for both Suzuki piano and violin lessons. She has gotten to know him and what motivates him and has helped me learn how to more effectively engage him when he is practicing at home. In group lessons, I’ve seen her modify her teaching for kids of different age levels, and what her students are able to accomplish is truly remarkable. Supportive and enthusiastic, Kate promotes a growth mindset, encouraging her students to take risks and teaching them that mistakes are an important part of learning. Under her guidance, our son’s love for music continues to grow and grow. When I asked our son what he would tell people about Kate, he said, 'Kate makes lessons fun, and she makes music more beautiful.' We feel really lucky to have her as our son’s music teacher." -Mary M.

"Kate Kent is a passionate Suzuki teacher. My daughter has been taking piano lessons with "Miss Kate" for 6 years! I have seen how patient and kind she is towards her students. I am continually impressed with her ability to develop creative and engaging lessons week after week. She understands the needs of her students at every skill level and knows how to keep parents and their children inspired and motivated. My daughter's love of piano and her musical skills are a testament to Miss Kate's master teaching. Shinichi Suzuki would be very proud!" -Juliet C.

"Kate is loved by everyone. Parents and students are drawn to her openness and positivity. Her positivity radiates in everything she does and it makes working with her, no matter the task, an absolute pleasure." -Christina G.

“Kate’s teaching is so creative, energetic and encouraging! Her ability to connect with children at all ages and musical abilities allows her students to grow both musically and personally. Most importantly, her teaching inspires dedication, self confidence and a love of music in all her students.” -Sarah R.
