I took about 5 months of online vocal lessons with Kristin and it was really good. I wanted to improve my singing skills to do a song at my wedding, and to improve my karaoke abilities in general. And I think it helped me tremendously. As a bonus, I also got an opportunity to perform in one of the recitals hosted by Kirsten and it was a great experience. She's very flexible and knowledgeable, and knows how to pace yourself to improve your skills over time. read more

It was a wonderful experience having Kristen as a vocal coach. The bottom line is that I improved in my singing, my confidence increased significantly, and Kristen was a really multifaceted person with a lot of flexibility to meet my goals. I enjoyed my meetings with her. She always so the positives and the possibilities, even when it came to my own songs. She was extremely supportive of working on my original music and helped me feel confident with the few songs I wrote that were pretty high on my range. She's also a very real person, so we could focus but we could also laugh or acknowledge if we were struggling a bit that day. She offers all of her students, piano and singing, to participate in a recital that is hosted by an elderly care facility for which she volunteers her time, I believe to do singing or choir. I suggest for any potential student to take that opportunity in that low stress environment with Kristen's support and other supportive students to practice being in front of people. Also, the residents really appreciated it. While meeting in person would have been nice and probably has some advantages, working remotely was really convenient and still quite effective. I highly recommend Seattle City Music with Kristen for your vocal or piano lessons! read more

Kristen is amazing, she definately knows her craft, understand what the student are struggling, and flexible on her teaching approach based on my peculiarities. Initially I was suspicious on her approach of remote teaching via iPad, but she proved me dead wrong and I will highly recommend her to any of my freinds. read more

Kristen has played an integral role in her teachings and notations which has helped me fall in love again with the piano. Without her teachings and support I would not be playing as frequently as her lessons are flexible for the student and focus on THEIR desires in what they want to gain out of her teachings. I wanted to learn how to play 2 specific very challenging pieces a bit out of my skill wheelhouse- and within 2 months I knew them and could play them both perfectly. Highly recommended. read more

Kristin's been teaching me how to play the piano for over 3 years now, and I've had a great experience. She's a patient teacher who cares about her students and she tailors the lessons to meet my interests. She's also very friendly and pleasant person and makes learning fun! read more

Kristin is a great vocal teacher. I had always admired singers, and wanted to improve my confidence in singing. Kristin worked with me on the basics, taught me different exercises to improve my vocal technique, and helped me find my vocal style. I was able to become comfortable with my voice, and would highly recommend Kristin! read more

My 7-year-old takes piano lessons at Seattle City Music. Her teacher is kind, concise and knowledgeable. My daughter enjoys going to her lesson each week and always takes something away from her time there. She is progressing so quickly that I'm considering starting lessons as well! read more

I had previously taken piano lessons as a kid for a little over a decade but eventually came to a stop as life increasingly became more busy and complicated as I stepped into adulthood. My love and passion for music and the piano had never gone away and I knew that at some point I wanted to start up lessons again. When I first started lessons with Ms. Fletcher, I was a nervous wreck to say the leas... I had lost just about all confidence in playing in front of anyone, even if it was just her and I with no one else around! But she pushed me in genuine & gentle ways and eventually over the course of about 5 months she not only taught me 10 pages of sheet music and lots of theory and technique, but got me to feel comfortable playing for people again which is where the real beauty of music lies! I can honestly say that because of her i'm not nearly as afraid to show people what I can do anymore:) read more

I took piano lessons from Kristin for just over a year. I progressed greatly in that time and feel like I gained the tools to continue learning. Kristen used a variety of music/learning sources so that I was able to always have something fun to work on along side more technical and musical theory studies. She did a great job transitioning to virtual lessons, and is very accommodating to schedule changes. Highly recommend if you're thinking about taking up piano! read more
