"My son, Caleb, and I met Kirsten when we moved to North Carolina early last summer of 2023. She consistently conducts herself professionally and is kind and thorough in her communication. One particular day, my son noticed that when he opened his violin case, the bridge had separated from the body of his violin. Kirsten connected us immediately with someone to fix it, which was incredibly helpful. She has gone out of her way to serve our family; we are blessed to know her. In such a short time of knowing her, I have grown in my respect for her as a trustworthy Suzuki teacher who cares genuinely for her students and parents."

"Our daughter has been taking private violin lessons with Kirsten for almost two years, and the progress she has made has been incredible. Kirsten is a fantastic teacher who combines a deep knowledge of the violin with a passion for teaching. She is highly detail-oriented and upholds high standards and expectations for proper technique, which has been instrumental in driving our daughter to continually improve. We are extremely grateful to have found a teacher like Kirsten, who is committed to helping her students achieve their full potential.”

"I think Mrs. Kirsten is an amazing teacher. In the 4 to 5 years I have been with her, I have excelled drastically with my violin playing. She is strict but thats because she sees your potential and expects nothing less, and wants to help you reach your goals. With her teaching and coaching I have be able to be accepted into the Charlotte Symphony Philharmonics and the Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestra on the first try! She is funny and kind. And makes our lessons engaging and enjoyable. She is amazing. I give her a hundred out of ten stars. I seriously recommend her!"
