"My 9 and 11-year old daughters have been students of Mrs. McNeil for nearly a year and a half. The great leaps and bounds in their playing abilities demonstrates Mrs. McNeil's acute awareness of each girl's potential to achieve her best. Both theory and technique are taught alongside each other. Consequently, this ensures an all-round comprehension of piano playing for the girls.
"As a mother, it is a delight to hear teacher and student share moments of laughter during lessons. For me, this exemplifies a relaxed, yet serious, commitment to Mrs. McNeil's teaching.
"I can clearly see that my daughters have developed a genuine love of learning the piano with Mrs. McNeil. This is reflected in the girls' own enjoyment of what they play as well as having the confidence to attempt their own selection of musical pieces.
"Quite simply, I could not ask for a better teacher."

"I was lucky enough to study under Kathy McNeil for three years. Extremely knowledgable about all aspects of playing, an active performer and church musician, and a very kind person, she is the consummate teacher. I'm sure that all of her students would agree, that one could not ask for a better teacher."
