Piano

If you are looking for a piano teacher who is kind, works wonderfully with children, and is a master at her craft teacher Cathy is your gal! Our sons both take piano lessons each week and we are thrilled to see and hear their amazing progress. I would readily recommend Catharina's Clackamas piano lessons in Clackamas, Oregon as one of the best local piano lessons to anyone looking to expand their musical talent. Parent, Molly Sheldon - review for Catharina's preschool piano lessons through piano lessons for adults.

I am a senior Citizen who took piano lessons up to high school. At Catharina's Clackamas piano lessons, I learned to undo old bad habits and began to learn correct techniques. Catharina's knowledge is extensive, and she is exceptionally gifted. Catharina offers much encouragement, reassurance, and inspiration. She believes in us when we often doubt ourselves. I love her sense of humor - I find myself laughing a lot. I feel very blessed to know both Catharina and her husband, Ken. They are very dear people who have been a very positive influence in my life.

My 8 children have been taking piano lessons for about 7 years. Teacher Cathy is a nice person and knows how to encourage children even when one has more talent than the other one. For the Recital, she helped the children to sing in a group like professionals with flute and trumpet. That was very impressive for all the listeners. God blessed her with very good talent. She also sang and played for my oldest daughter at her wedding. Thank God we met Teacher Cathy. She is a blessing to us. Parent, Elizabeth Florean.

We have two boys, ages 8 and 6. Both of them are overly energetic, easily distracted, and far more interested in playing action games than focusing on their studies. That's why we're so amazed each time one of them sits down at the piano. Not only do they enjoy practicing every day, but they're also making beautiful music! Teacher Cathy has done a remarkable job with our kids. Under her direction, they're learning to love their music - playing, singing, performing, and even composing their own songs. They're also learning that hard work and regular practice pay off. We enthusiastically recommend Catharina's Clackamas piano lessons as one of the best local piano lessons in Happy Valley, Oregon.

Teacher Cathy is a wonderful, talented, patient, caring, supportive teacher. My daughter, Kimora (8 years old) has been taking piano lessons with her for more than 2 years now. Kimora is doing very well in Music at school because of her lessons. Thank you very much, Teacher Cathy! Parent, Sylvia Blas.

My son Daniel, has taken piano lessons at Catharina's Clackamas piano lessons in Or for almost 8 years. I`m so thankful that Daniel had Catharina to start him at piano lessons for beginners. Catharina's talent and love for music are so contagious that my son loves to practice every day without being reminded. Now my little 6-year-old daughter also takes piano lessons with Cathy and is very excited about every lesson. I would recommend Catharina's Clackamas piano lessons in Or as one of the best local piano lessons near me. Parent, Thu Ha Le Review for Clackamas piano lessons in Happy Valley, OR - preschool piano lessons thru piano lessons for adults and seniors.

I took beginning piano lessons at the age of 8 and stopped at age 10. What a mistake and a story too often told. How lucky I was to find Catharina when I decided to resume the piano at age 71. She makes you so comfortable and at ease that you immediately feel that there is no limit to what you can accomplish. Her calm and reassuring manner makes you want to play well for her. Had Catharina been my teacher when I was 10, I believe I would have continued learning and playing. I lost so much time but she is helping me get it back with her calm, steady and positive approach.

Mrs. Esplin has been our part-time music teacher here for the past two years. She teaches music to all our students Pre-school through 8th Grade. She also conducts a Christmas production each year as well as special performances for Grandparent's Day Gateway Area Parade and other occasions.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter of recommendation on behalf of Cathy Esplin who has been our music teacher here at Crossroads Christian School.

In Cathy, you will find a very talented musician who is capable of creating a quality music curriculum. She has worked effectively with a broad range of age groups from pre-kinder through eighth grade. She has taught a broad range of musical skills to her students and has included drama and choreography as needed.

Cathy has been a very reliable employee who needs little or no monitoring or supervision. She is fully capable of taking on the task of music education and making sure that the program is run effectively. The value of her work is beneficial to both the students and the school as a whole.

Each year Cathy organizes and implements a unique Christmas program including original material drama and choreography. I must admit that I usually do not look forward to school music programs because as a musician myself I find that the quality is usually such that it turns out to be a very long evening. This is not the case with a program created by Cathy. In fact, at the end of the program, I demanded an encore because it was so good.

Cathy also serves in any other capacity that she can. She assists with our worship singing during chapel and teaches private piano lessons after school. Cathy has made a lot of important contributions to Crossroads Christian School and I am confident that she would be an asset to your organization. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Greg Litsey
