7.5 Years of the Best Instruction!

Kay has taught me piano for seven and a half years now, and I am incredibly grateful for her instruction. She has helped me grow in this instrument, challenging me to be creative. She saw my potential before I did and pushed me to keep working hard. We have bi-yearly recitals, giving students a goal to work towards. Highly recommend!

Outstanding!!!

I have been taught the piano by Kay Collins for the last 7.5 years and could not be more blessed with her instruction! She is patient and honest, and I have grown exponentially since beginning with her. She has helped me tackle the toughest songs when I asked her and, through her encouragement, became a better player than I could have ever imagined! Her recitals give students something fun to look forward to and share with friends and family. Overall, I could not recommend anyone more highly than Kay Collins!

Adult Beginner

I started taking lessons with Kay as an adult beginner with no background in piano. From my lessons, I have gained a solid foundation in proper playing techniques and the ability to read and sight-read music. Even more importantly, Kay has helped me to develop a confidence and expressiveness in my playing. She is always helping me find new music to challenge myself and grow my skills, providing knowledge and encouragement to ensure success. She is kind, patient, and a joy to learn from.

Teacher for Nine Years

I have been very fortunate to have Ms. Kay as my piano teacher for about 9 years. She has been such a patient and encouraging teacher and always helped me find music that I was passionate about playing. I appreciate the genuine care she shows her students and will never forget our lessons together!

Good with Non-Traditional students

I played when I was younger (45 years younger) and wanted to get back into it. Kay picked up where my self-taught course left off, and has helped me advance much more quickly than I would have on my own. She is very patient and explains things in an easy to understand manner.

Phenomenal Instructor!

I feel so blessed to have found Kay a couple of years ago!  I'm an older adult with a limited background in piano that just wants to be able to play an intermediate piece with expression and ease. Kay seems to have an innate ability to zero in on what I need to do to pursue this goal. She really listens to her students and hand-tailors their lessons to suit their goals/needs. She helps steer me toward music that she knows will inspire and keep me practicing, while giving me very helpful tips and instruction. She has amazing patience, puts her students at ease, and makes lessons fun!  She's the best ever!

I thank Ms Kay for all the support given to me over the years.  It has been an honor having her as my piano teacher, and I will always try to keep playing as she taught me.  I not only enjoyed having her as a teacher, but as someone who got to know me on a personal level.  She has always been very caring (and forgiving when I wasn't well prepared) and I truly appreciate her. 

Highly Recommend

Kay had been our daughters piano teacher for about 10 years.  We have been very thankful for all she has done for her and her piano lessons.  She still plays the piano and has good memories of taking lessons and performing.  We were very fortunate to have such a wonderful piano teacher.  Mrs. M

I took piano lessons from third grade through my senior year in high school.  I have loved learning the piano with Ms Kay.  I thank her as I have become so much more passionate towards playing the piano.  I also feel more open and more prepared for the future as I go into college.  Ann

I have always appreciated and thank Ms. Kay for being such an amazing teacher, listener, and supporter. She has been a light in so many people's lives and I feel blessed to be able to share my Thursdays afternoons with her. I will never forget all the advice and encouragement. Theresa

I thank Ms. Kay for all her support in teaching me how to play the piano. Although she has specific basic lesson requirements, there were many variations of songs I truly loved to play along the way. It seems like she went out of her way to find songs I would enjoy. It has truly been an outlet from all the stress in my life. I am so blessed to have gotten to know such an amazing teacher these past 4 years. Nicky

Fantastic Teacher

I would highly recommend Ms. Kay as a piano teacher. I have taken from her for several years, have progressed expediently along the way, and totally enjoyed learning how to play the piano. I couldn't have asked for a better piano teacher. Laurie
