Wordle of words from the testimonials

Thank you so much for allowing me to job shadow you. I learned so much and really enjoyed it. I especially liked the Kindermusik lessons. The kids seemed to really enjoy them and it tied into my research really well. Thank you also for all the time and energy have spent teaching me as a piano student. Even though I may have been very reluctant to learn, I am thankful that you believed in me. I really appreciate everything you have done for me, especially this year. I can't put into words how much I've learned from you as a teacher and a person. Thank you.

~ Sheila Carey

I want to thank you for all the years of amazing conversation and learning piano. My lessons were always more than just learning piano. I've learned so much from you about skills that I never would have gotten without the study I took. Thank you so much for everything you've given me.

~ Joslyn Taylor

I want to thank you for everything. You have done so much for me and have influenced my life so much over the past 7 years. I've grown a lot in my musical abilities, mostly thanks to you. You were always interested in what was going on with my life. I loved sharing about my challenges and triumphs with you. You were always a great listener and made me feel like my life was always special and important. I'll miss my Tuesday lessons! But mainly I'll miss you! Keep in touch! I'll let you know about my upcoming band concerts in case you can come sometime. I would love to have you hear me play. Love you much,

~ Anni Hahn

Thank you so much for all your time and work with Rochelle. Thank you also for your family who showed us so much kindness. Through out the year and the sacrifices they made so that Rochelle could benefit so much from your instruction. I look forward to next year and will be keeping "you all" in my prayers – (as well as next year's pieces) ha, ha!! Love in Christ,

~ Linda Blake

I've thought of you often since Kerry finished piano, and I've wanted to thank you for the gift of music you've shared with Kerry and just for giving yourself. Kerry couldn't have been blessed with a more patient, kind and thoughtful piano instructor. I really appreciate you so creatively and personally tailored Kerry's music instruction to keep her going. Kerry not only benefitted from your instruction, but also from your friendship. She enjoyed spending time with you, and was always the better and happier for it. She knew you loved her as a person, not just one of your students. May the Lord fill you up, as you pour out your life for all the students in your care. Love,

~ Lisa P.S. I miss talking to you!

To Whom it may concern: Luanne Kauppila began teaching my daughter, Sarah Jo Thomas, piano in June of 1990. From the very beginning my daughter was excited about the prospect of learning all about the piano and music and I attribute this entirely to Luanne and her winning teaching abilities. Luanne's outstanding abilities are only to be surpassed by her warm and loving attitude. My daughter looked forward to each and every lesson because of her truly caring teacher. I feel Sarah will benefit greatly from her musical beginnings with Mrs. Kauppila and would most heartily recommend Luanne for anyone considering the same for their child (children). Sincerely,

~ Kim L. Thomas

Ian has so enjoys his musical days with you and the Kindermusik program. We are lucky he has had such a positive musical experience to draw on and build on. It is fun for us, also, to see him engage himself so totally with an interest that will grow as he grows. It seems he came into this world pre-disposed to loving music and I hope it always brings him such happiness.

You communicate your joy of music to the children every time they are with you. Thank you for all your hard work! and fun! Sincerely,

~ Judy Vessey (Ian's lucky Grandma)

Thank you so much for being my piano teacher! I have had so much fun working with you and I have learned so much more than I have ever known. Thank you so much! Love always,

~ Megan Condon

Thank you for your efforts and wonderful style of teaching Kacie this past year. Kacie knows that she couldn't have had a nicer, more patient piano teacher. We both enjoyed the experience (if not the practice)! I hope you will consider teaching our family again in the future. Thank you!

~ Kim

Thank you for first introducing me to the study of music and inspiring me to continue learning about my abilities and expanding them! Love,

~ Chelsea Globe

I don't know how to thank you for helping me get ready for what God has for me. I am currently leading worship from a keyboard at youth group. I wouldn't be there if you hadn't helped me for 7 or 8 years. Thank you for being a part of my life! We are blessed by you more than you know! Love,

~ Nicole

I thought I'd take a few moments to let you know how much we appreciate you taking Amanda as one of your piano students. She is finally catching on and remembering what she learned before. But thanks to you she is very excited about learning to play the piano. We still haven't been successful in getting her to sit for her complete practice time but were hoping that comes soon. Thank you again for all your hard work and patience on Amanda's behalf.
