Testimonials

Teachers play a vital role in a student's life. Teachers don't just deliver curriculum, but rather the best teachers are inspiring leaders that show students how to behave in all areas of life. The most successful teachers are a special breed who play a multitude of different roles in a given day with fluidity and grace while remaining true to themselves. I am glad that I found Cathy as a piano teacher for my daughter since she has all these qualities in her, which gives students confidence and makes a difference in their lives. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful person and for your excellent piano lessons for kids!  Parent, Irum Zia -Testimonial for Catharina's piano lessons in Clackamas and Happy Valley, OR

"My son has been taking private piano lessons from Teacher Cathy for over 5 years and I can say with confidence that she is an amazing piano teacher and a wonderful person. Teacher Cathy has the unique ability to get the best out of her students from beginner piano lessons for kids to advanced levels through her structure of lessons, rewards, and recitals. What I really love is the confidence my son gains each time by her firm hand and loving heart. Finally, as a working parent, I appreciate that Teacher Cathy is organized and a wonderful communicator. We all love teacher Cathy and, I believe, the feeling is mutual toward all of her students."  Parent, Liz Bluhm, Menlo Park Elementary, School Improvement Coordinator - testimonial for Catharina's Clackamas piano lessons in Clackamas, OR/piano lessons in Happy Valley, OR

Lessons at my studio

My home studio is warm, welcoming, and sanitized between lessons. 

Online Piano Lessons are easy!

 Many of my students prefer taking lessons from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Piano lessons online are much easier than you may think! It is not a video course or a class with many students, but live interactive face-to-face online piano lessons with you as the only student. You will see the notes I play and how to follow in your book, and you may ask any questions you have. I give clear direction, correction, and encouragement in your playing and ensure you can practice it on your own during the week. We usually chat and sometimes laugh, but we are very focused when playing the piano. Try a FREE online piano lesson!  


Piano lessons online have some hidden advantages that folks don't know about until they try them. Online piano lessons involve more focus, and students are more attentive and responsible and make fast progress. Online piano lessons are time-saving and convenient; students can continue even when traveling. Seeing how parents and students react after their first online lesson is a joy. They mostly say, "I didn't know it would be this easy!"
