 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I really enjoy taking handpan lessons from Kelly. She listens to your individual needs and what you want to accomplish.  Kelly is very passionate about her music. Her love and enthusiasm is contagious. I love my handpan. I look forward to my lessons every week...and I drive an hour and a half to take them. So happy I found Kelly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I've been watching Kelly's videos for years.  She has forgotten more than I will ever know about guitar, and she remembers a lot!!!!!   I was so intimidated to meet her, but she's just a regular person. (Who happens to rule on guitar)  She listens and helps you see what you need to do to get better.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Kelly Richey is not only a legend, she is pure talent with a gift to articulate exactly what it takes to learn. She works at Your pace and ability, unlike most people who teach. As a professional musician since the age of 5 I have seen it all from bad teachers to good teachers, it is rare you come across a GREAT teacher.

She is so talented and yet so kind to my 5 year old son. She knew exactly how to speak to him so that he was comfortable and at ease and excited to learn to play his guitar and just learn more about music in general. She is so patient and calm with such a young child that is just starting out and has a great easy, teaching style that really meets him at his level. I am so happy to have found such an authentic, kind and talented musician to teach our son.
