“We continued online lesons …”
If you came here looking for an amazing piano teacher Cate is the one! You will not be disappointed! My youngest daughter started piano with Cate when she was 6 years old. Cate was patient, kind, understanding, and encouraging. She plays beautifully and has so much talent. Our family truly lost a gifted, talented, and loved teacher and friend with her family’s relocation. We continued online lessons and Cate makes time in her schedule to accommodate us and has great communication at all times! One lesson with her and I am sure you will feel the same my family does.
