Kym is a great teacher. I was trained in the classical style and really didn't want my kids going through the same. I was ecstatic when I was introduced to Kym and her Simply Music method. In the year that my kids have been in lessons with her they have played more music than I did in my first few years.
They enjoy playing songs they've heard, composing and improvising songs and singing along while they play. They have developed a love for the piano. Every house we go to that has a piano they immediately want to put on a show for everyone.
Kym is a patient and supportive teacher. She constantly asks for feedback and offers support to both the parents and the students. She finds different ways of engaging the students through games, stories, exercises. I also love that she has the kids play one community service performance for a senior community.
As with any lessons there is tuition and materials fees but of you want the best for your child you're willing to make that investment. Tuition isn't unreasonable and I'm totally willing to pay for the wonderful app she uses with the kids. The app helps then track their practice time, what assignments they should be working on, motivates them because they can see how much their friends have practiced and also provides them a communication portal to Kym. They can message back and forth when they have questions instead of playing something wrong for a week. Kym will immediately send them a message back with guidance and sometimes even videos!
This method isn't for everyone but my kids love it. My daughter hugs Kym all the time because she thinks so much of Kym and my son loves going to lessons. I love listening to my son play popular songs sing along. I love that my daughter can play blues songs like a pro. And all this within a years time!
