"Simply put: Kristine is a fantastic teacher. It's truly been a rewarding experience thus far and her enthusiasm and attitude is what makes it all the more worthwhile. It's amazing how she adjusts her teaching style constantly to better suit me as an individual and to find what works most effectively. Her approach is what makes the difference, focusing on how it feels when it is right and overcoming mental obstacles that restrict progress. Truly an excellent experience for me"

"As we look forward to beginning another year of piano instruction for Arjun, we would like to thank you for being such a wonderful teacher! Under your tutelage these past few years, Arjun has learned to enjoy playing and practicing piano. With your humorous teaching style, you are able to keep his attention and motivate him to practice during the week. We can see that he listens carefully to your advice about learning and practicing and applies it in other areas of study. He did really well in his RCM examinations this year thanks to your guidance, and with your suggestions about managing performance anxiety, the examination was a positive experience for him. Thank you!"

“I was one of Kristine’s vocal students from 2006-2008. She is an amazing teacher with amazing talent, I learned so much just from watching and listening to her sing! Under her tutelage I not only learned how to be a more proficient singer, but also a better performer. She is kind and encouraging and pushes all her students to sing and perform to the best of their abilities. She plays on each of her students strongest abilities and makes sure that you are having fun in the process. Kristine is a great and inspiring teacher and every one of her students walks away with more talent and knowledge than when they walked into her studio. I know I did!"
