"If you can't teach me to fly, then teach me to sing......"  Sir James Barrie, author of Peter Pan

"Barbara Kovacs is a wonderful, highly professional music teacher.  My daughter studied piano with Barbara for 7 years, and in the last two years of that time she also studied theory and composition.  Barbara's teaching style blends the perfect amount of encouragement and patience with high expectations - so she truly brings out the best in her students.  She takes the time to discover what inspires them, and makes sure to include enough motivating material into her lessons to keep it fun and productive at the same time.  My daughter has many musical interests - songwriting, singing, jazz/pop, and performing. Although her lessons focused on classical piano, Barbara provided immeasurable guidance in all these areas by finding the time to work additional projects into her lesson plan. In addition to her warm and compassionate teaching style, Barbara is a wonderful, caring person who understands the needs of her students and families.  I highly recommend Barbara!" - Jodi K., parent

"I had the privilege of taking both voice and piano lessons from Barbara. Her instruction in proper breathing technique and support was invaluable and helped me expand my range. I valued her knowledge of musical theatre and her assistance in expanding my repertoire and preparing for auditions; she also developed my appreciation for art songs. As a beginner piano player, I felt the exercises Barbara gave me were easy to follow and helped me progress quickly. I was saddened to lose her as a teacher when she moved out of state!" - Scott K., adult student
