It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Kelsall. My son has been taken piano lessons from Ms. Kelsall for two years. My son has Down syndrome and I was told by a lot of people so called “public school experts” that he would not be able to do anything in life. The progress that he made during his three months with Ms. Kelsall as a piano teacher far exceeded any expectations I had and demonstrated to me what a wonderful teacher she is. Not only did my son grow as a piano player he gained more confidence in himself in school academic and social activities. She has been able to impart her enthusiasm and love of playing the piano onto my son. She customized the music and lessons to his skill level and needs while at the same time providing challenges to keep the learning process going. I witnessed the wonderful connection that developed between teacher and student. She is very proud of each and every student as was evident during recitals. Ms. Kesall sees each student as an individual and draws upon their strengths to teach them in ways that work best for them. She customized my son's lessons to his ability and particular learning characteristics. Much to my surprise, my son knows his notes and can now read music and play piano with both hands and use the foot pedal at the same time. He can also play chords. I respect Ms.Kesall for many of her qualities but most of all because she is able to connect with my son and her students and customize their piano lessons according to their strengths. Ms. Kesall is very positive and encouraging teacher who is able to make confident self-motivated piano players out of her students. I highly recommend Ms. Kelsall as a piano teacher and I am envious of her future students who can experience her contagious passion and love of music first hand.

My son age 9 and daughter age 7 have been taken lessons from Ms. K for 6 months. They love going to her class every week and their piano skills have improved dramatically since they started. Ms. K is an excellent pianist and teacher, very experienced and effective. Both my son and daughter started playing piano at the same but the ways they play are different. Ms. K is very good at selecting the right lessons tailored for each of them. She is a wonderful person and I feel very lucky to have her.

Ms. K is awesome and my daughter is learning at a quick pace. She truly enjoys her lessons with Ms K. I would like to add that Thumbtack requests a review quite early, before we've had a chance to form an accurate opinion; therefore I decided to wait a while before providing my review, a definite 5 stars!

Dear Parent: It is my great pleasure to recommend Irina Kelsall to you as a piano teacher for your children. Irina is a gifted school teacher and piano instructor. I have had the pleasure of knowing Irina for seven years. She has been my sons elementary school teacher as well has his piano teacher. Irina is absolutely passionate about her students. Her love for teaching is evident in her enthusiastic and energetic teaching techniques. She is exceedingly patient with all students, encourages them and coaxes the very best effort from each and every one. Although she is arguably one of the best music teachers in the state, her prices are extremely reasonable. In my opinion, she is worth every penny she charges and I certainly believe I have received excellent service for my money. I believe my sons life has been enriched under Irinas tutelage and he will continue to play the piano for the rest of his life. My son has studied the piano under Irina for four years. While he does not intend to pursue music as a career, the additional education Irina provided through her music appreciation class, known as Camp Kelsall has added an additional layer of knowledge and enjoyment to the regular piano lessons. I am tremendously grateful to her for everything she has taught my son and the joy his music has brought to our family. I am happy to discuss my sons experiences with you further if you so desire. Please feel free to contact me any time josephfranksmom@yahoo.com.
