I am truly AMAZED at how my 4 year old has soared in the Wunderkeys program! Carolyn is an incredible instructor and has helped her gain so much confidence in playing the piano that she is performing in the recital this summer! We could not be happier with this program and with Carolyn.

My 4 year old son began the Wunderkeys study with Mrs. Reisinger a few months ago. It keeps his attention and has engaged his continues interest in music. He enjoys the rhythm work on various instruments and the fun fingering lessons.

Carolyn has been a very good piano teacher for our son, and he seems to be learning quite well with her methods and under her teaching. She is an educated and accomplished pianist.
Mark Hamill
Carolyn has been teaching my son piano lessons for the last year and a half and it has been an excellent experience for my son. Carolyn has shown great patience in working with the kids during their lessons and at their recitals. She is very knowledgeable in her field and has challenged my son to improve his piano skills. He has done very well with her guidance and expertise and my family is very satisfied in working with Carolyn.
Karen Savageau
I have referred piano students to Carolyn when they have reached a level of study that requires her level of expertise. I will continue to do so without hesitation.
Mike Rebischke
Carolyn has been a great piano instructor for my children. She does a great job relating to the kids and keeps them highly motivated by teaching them with music the kids select. She is very flexible when it comes to scheduling which is great when your children are involved with other activities. Over the last couple of years, I have seen tremendous improvement with my children's piano playing which is a great tribute to Carolyn and her teaching skills. If you have a child which is interested in learning or enhancing their piano skills, I would highly recommend Carloyn as an instructor.
Beth Remarcke
Carolyn is a highly sought after piano teacher. I highly recommend her for anyone interested in having a motivational musical experience for their child. She is a gifted pianist herself but that's not what makes her a excellent piano teacher. It's her love of children and her love of teaching piano that makes her so popular in Dakota County. Since every piano student wants to quit at one point or another, when this happens, just let Carolyn know and she will creatively turn your student's motivation around. She truly has a gift in teaching kids a lifelong skill that has so many physical and emotional benefits. Call her today!
