I came to Katie the first year of Pandemic/Quarantine to start piano lessons as an adult with no…read moreexperience. Katie's teaching brings-together passion for music and composers, an understanding of learning through physiology and neuroscience-informed pedagogy, a frankness and understanding in the difficulty, as well as a desire to better work for the student in-line with what they want. Among instruments, piano presents unique motion challenges that may seem insurmountable for an adult just starting in the middle of their life. Katie's integration of Feldenkrais teachings, as well as the supplementary courses she offers, can gradually unwind stubborn joints and limbs. Although I signed up strictly to learn music, I am finally able to move my shoulders and neck freely. Finally, the opportunities Katie has given her students to play recitals remotely during Pandemic, play concerts in churches, take Dalcroze workshops or work one-on-one with master teachers means that lessons are only the beginning for what's on offer. Highly recommended.

Katie is an excellent piano instructor. My 12 year old daughter Jasmine has received piano lessons…read morefrom Katie since 2011 at the Bellingham Academy of Music. Learning a new instrument raised new challenges in the beginning. Jasmine would rarely practice on her own, but Katie found ways to motivate her to practice, practice, practice. Something as simple as a practice log goes a long way. The letdown of handing over an empty practice log really motivated Jasmine to practice. I began to noticed a huge boost in her confidence and great progression in her musical abilities. Katie made that happen. Although, we were sad to see Katie go, we wish her nothing but the best.

Katie taught piano lessons to my children when they started to play at age of 7. I was impressed…read morethat she was able to cajole my very reluctant son to play and motivated him enough that he started to practice on his own. She picked the right songs for each child to learn and even simplified their favorite songs for them-they loved it. She pays attention to basics like wrist positions. Her lesson is fun and effective; both of them progressed rapidly. She is very professional- responsive communication and on time.

Kids are having a blast and we couldn't be happier with their progress. Paul's fun and patient approach makes each lesson enjoyable and engaging for them. He's a very skilled musician who knows how to share his knowledge in a way that keeps kids interested and excited about learning. We 10/10 highly recommend to anyone looking for in-home music lessons.

I've been taking ukulele lessons from Jordan Brawner with Lessons in your Home for about a year now…read moreand I couldn't be happier. I'm an adult with hardly any music background, but I've always wanted to learn how to play the ukulele. Jordan has an incredible understanding of music theory and took the time to figure out how I learn best. I genuinely look forward to my lessons each week and appreciate how tailored to me the content is. Lessons in your Home has been very responsive, and worked with me when I was out of work earlier this year. I definitely recommend this service, and specifically Jordan.

Our son has attended the virtual Musikgarten classes each week for the past 6 months since he was just 4 months old. From his very first class, Clarice made us feel welcome and included with interactions with each individual child, and it amazes me that she can conduct her virtual class with such grace while singing so beautifully and clearly! Now, whenever we sing the songs from class or practice the melodies, my son lights up with a huge grin and stops what he's doing to focus in on the song - a lifesaver during diaper changes and car rides when he starts to fuss!! It's truly been amazing to watch his development over time, and he loves seeing the other children on the Zoom video. I highly recommend any caregiver to join these music classes with their child. We can't wait to attend in person and are super thankful to have Clarice's music class as a chance to bond with our son, and give him the chance to interact with other children during these difficult times.

They were both funny and really nice. Kyle seemed to know the most about the instruments and I left with a great deal on a guitar that is perfect for my beginner. When her instructor saw the guitar he was impressed with the quality, sound and price we paid for it. Last week we went to Guitar Center to buy a case, not finding in the price range we wanted, we headed back here once again. This time they were great to my daughter and worked with her on the price for the case she wanted. Very pleased.
