“Katy is an excellent teacher, with a beautiful personality. I highly recommend Katy for a private piano teacher! You will not be disappointed!”
“My grandchildren are fortunate enough to be taking piano lessons with Sable. Not only are they learning to play piano and the theory that goes with it, they are also learning that music is played to convey a feeling. This makes music fun and enjoyable for them and also their audience!”
“Sable is an amazingly talented and versatile artist whose enthusiasm for music motivates her students to improve their own skills. She is comfortable in a wide variety of musical genres, from bluegrass to classical. We are so grateful that our son is able to take both piano and guitar lessons from her!”
