“When I think of Kelly, my heart becomes full with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. She brought so many gifts to my 8 year-old son, which I know he will always carry with him on his life journey. There is no doubt that his love for music was inspired and nurtured by Kelly during his first two years of elementary school when she was his music teacher at Ithaca Waldorf School. Kelly’s teaching was innovative and inspirational, full of fun musical games and activities. Her loving, caring, uplifting and passionate energy radiates wherever she goes! As a parent, I always appreciated her patient and compassionate way of communicating with my son. She also owns an exceptional ability to deliver her music lessons based on her deep understanding of each child’s developmental stage and emotional needs.  My son will always remember when she asked him to teach her and his classmates a Japanese song, through which he had developed a greater sense of pride in his racial and cultural identity. Through his relationship with Kelly, I believe my son has learned that music can be a great tool to help the world be a better place. I am forever thankful for that.”

"I've always been the one too embarrassed to sing in public for fear of being laughed at, so when I came across Kelly's business card, I decided to give lessons a try.  Not only has she helped me to sing in tune, she's been my motivational coach as well!  Kelly is an amazing instructor and she makes you feel at ease.  She sets up a lesson plan based on your level and what works for you, and what's comfortable for you.  I highly recommend anyone, at any age level, to take lessons through Kelly."

"It has been an amazing journey to see our daughter (14 years old) blossom in her singing. We are grateful to Kelly for her inspirational and yet methodical instructions, which helped our daughter come out of her shells and share her singing abilities with her family. Our daughter has always been shy ever since she was little, and it was always a struggle for her to speak confidently in front of people, let alone singing in front of her own family. So, we are forever grateful!! We always knew that there was a beautiful singing talent hidden away somewhere inside of our daughter, but it was difficult to imagine how it was ever going to be unlocked. We believe Kelly's passionate heart for music and patient demeanor towards her students helped to unlock this door. So to say, she earned our daughter's trust. This is a beautiful thing and not many teachers have this. Kelly is not just a music teacher but she is one of a kind in the world of music. "

"I take the hallmark of a truly remarkable teacher to be that she inspires students' passion for music and enables them to become a better person in all realms of life. Ms. Meehan is such a teacher. She understands her students and adjusts her teaching style to fit their needs. She guides her students to develop skills step by step and is very tentative to the emotional needs of those who are new to the world of music. Andrew, my son, has grown so much since he started studying piano with Ms. Meehan. I also learned to be a better parent myself by working with Ms. Meehan in Andrew's piano lessons."

"We have found Kelly to be a kind, supportive teacher for our two kids (5 and 7 years old); she makes lessons fun, and teaches new skills with patience, trying a variety of approaches to the material if the kids hit roadblocks. Both kids are excited each week to show Kelly what they've learned. We began lessons in person with a group, and then transitioned to online classes; it was a complicated time for everyone, but Kelly made the move to remote piano instruction smooth and easy. We'd highly recommend Kelly for anyone looking for a guide for their childrens' musical education; she shares her enthusiasm and love for music each week, and we've seen amazing progress in both kids' skills!"
