"While under the direction of Kerry, our daughter has progressed from Grade one to a current level of Grade four having successfully passed her Grade three exam with first class honours. Our daughter has not only learned and advanced, but has also enjoyed her lessons and is motivated to practice daily. Over the last four years, Kerry has been dependable, cheerful and diligent in advancing our daughter's ability. We are thankful to have had her as a piano teacher for our daughter."
