Kate P.
I have been taking lessons with Cathy for over a year now. Orginally I found Cathy online and since the changes in our lives with Covid we have been doing all of our weekly lessons online. We haven't missed a beat! Zoom has worked well in that Cathy can hear and see what she needs to in order to teach effectively. I'm grateful to have found Cathy and enjoy each of our lessons together.
