“Fantastic teacher and an incredible musician! Can’t recommend her enough. She pushes you but keeps things fun - letting you learn what you want to learn but making sure the fundamentals go in too. If you’re thinking of learning and you want to really commit to it then I don’t think you could do much better.”

“My 7 year old has made more and faster progress through piano lessons with Kari than the private lessons she had at school. Kari is kind and cheerful and has great methods for encouraging and motivating. My child is excited to learn and now does her daily practice willingly, often playing much longer, just for fun.”

“After a 30 minute introductory chat with Kari, I was completely confident in my choice of tutor, and very excited to begin lessons. After 4 lessons I have found Kari to be very inspiring, friendly, and professional. The lessons are perfectly balanced, engaging and very coherent. In fact, the lesson time goes so quickly, and I think that speaks volumes. Would highly recommend.”

“If you could think of a dream tutor, then Kari would be it! She is so patient, knowledgeable, challenges you whilst tailoring her lessons to exactly what you need. Kari also instills a sense of ownership and the importance of practise. We couldn’t be more thrilled with how far she has brought our son in a short space of time, along with passing in her excitable passion for music.”

“Kari helped my son to pass a music school audition with her professional teaching style and skills. Although all our lessons were held online, but we had almost the same quality as off-line lesson! My son made significant progress indeed. I would strongly recommend her.”

“Kari is a fantastic piano teacher! My 10 year old daughter started piano lessons with Kari around a month ago and really looks forward to her lesson every week. I sat in on my daughters first lesson and I was very impressed with how Kari was with her. She made her feel at ease straight away, was very encouraging and also fun! I feel my daughter has learnt a lot in a few short weeks and we couldn't happier with the lessons.”

“Kari has been teaching my two daughters aged 5 and 10. As well as being a great piano teacher overall Kari is great working with the different age groups. She is successfully shaping their enthusiasm and guiding them to develop their skills. THANKS.”

“I have recently been graduated from high school having studied IB. As a part of our course for music, we had to submit three creating tasks. Having been trained mostly in the western art music, I was not very familiar with the popular genre. However, taking classes with Kari not only enabled me to produce a work that achieved high marks but also helped me to understand the genre on a whole new level. 

Kari is a very energetic and indulgent teacher. She really cares about the vision her students have and helps them to bring them to life. She inspires her students to try using different musical elements to make a piece of music much more engaging. 

Having been taught by kari, I have developed a great interest in popular music and have been able to communicate with the genre on much deeper level. Non of my previous teachers could inspire my vision so much.”

“I'm really enjoying my piano lessons with Kari. She is so patient and encouraging and her passion for music is infectious. Structured lessons and homework practice include theory and technique to ensure progression. An adult learner, I was a complete beginner and I have learnt such a lot in only a few months. I always look forward to my lessons which are usually face to face but have recently been online. Both work equally well. Highly recommend this tutor.”

“Kari is an excellent teacher. I played the piano as a boy (aged 10- 13) and had very rigid lessons which I did not enjoy. I am now semi-retired and thought I would try again. The lessons with Kari have been been very enjoyable and very informative. The focus is on playing, the choice of music is mine (with helpful suggestions from Kari) and I believe I have made good progress. I am certainly enjoying playing the piano more than I ever have done in the past. I strongly recommend Kari as an excellent and accomplished piano teacher who makes learning a pleasure.”

“My son has been taking piano lessons with Kari for the last 3-4 months. She is an excellent teacher who is encouraging and patient. She clearly has a passion for her subject and instills a similar eagerness in her students.The lessons are delivered positively and with structure.”

Fraser S.

“Kari is a great teacher, she has the patience of a saint. At 62 having retired I wanted to learn to play the piano more fore pleasure that anything else but I need structure in my lessons. Kari makes learning the piano a pleasure, I look forward to my lessons every week, she is always positive about my playing even if I don't think so. Any new student could not do any better than letting her teach you to play old or young she gives you confidence in yourself.”
