"Kimberley has taught our 4 and 6 year old boys to play the violin for the last 1-2 years. She is a truly excellent teacher and makes lessons fun. Our children have progressed well under Kimberley's guidance and we would definitely recommend her as a teacher."

The Suzuki experience with Kimberley is a delight. Her patient yet robust style gives the children the confidence to learn properly. She develops a close relationship with the children, using innovative methods to encourage them. There's no corner cutting when it comes to her approach yet there is always a sprinkling of fun. Kimberley's love of music and of teaching is evident. She is extremely supportive to the parents and the end result is a happy enthusiastic child experiencing the joy of making music.

'Kimberley is very nice. She knows all the pieces and practices every day then comes to teach us. Kimberley is a good teacher. She tells me when I’m doing something wrong and helps me to fix it. Lessons are fun, especially the group lessons. I give her a big hug at the end of the lesson.'
