CINCINNATI, OHIO STUDENT
Kelly has been awesome! Starting from ground zero (and much later in life), Kelly has been very patient with me as well as encouraging. I’ve learned a lot so far and looking forward to this journey! I highly recommend her!
Sandor Szabo
OTR ARTS PROFESSIONAL
So glad that I found Kelly! She has really helped me advance in learning how to play guitar. I had sort of plateaued with my previous instruction and Kelly was able to figure out the best plan of attack to advance my way forward in learning all aspects of playing the guitar, all the while keeping it simple and easy to learn. I Highly recommend Kelly if you really want to learn to play!
Justin Beitz
HYDE PARK STUDENT
I've been taking Handpan lessons for over a year now with Kelly and I couldn't ask for a better local teacher! She's knowledgeable and helpful. She can not only provide lessons, but also provide an understanding of the handpan, the different construction of them, and how to pick one out.
