Vincent V. says, "As a private student under Dr. Bouska's instruction, I can say without reservation that she is extraordinarily committed to providing her students with the most immersive instruction possible. And it is enjoyable as she takes delight in the progress of her students. Her knowledge of music runs deep which she constantly shares. Her instruction and emphasis on technique is effective and cumulative over time which one can turn back to anytime and employ, as sessions can be recorded. Her comments and critiques are positive and constructive, and she can be humorous! Add to that her extraordinary playing ability and one has at hand what can only be described as a rewarding experience in piano. She is the consummate artist." Read more

Recent success stories from people in the Chester area.

Ted E.

When I was in college, a much respected pianist filled in for my usual professor, a Tchaikovsky medalist filled with a great deal of pianistic fire and very little knowledge about pedagogy. At the end of our first lesson he said, “Oh, you’re the one who asks ‘why’. Your teacher warned me.” I asked “But isn’t that a good thing?” and he said “That wasn’t my impression.” Katelyn on the other hand, is the perfect teacher for people who want to know not only what to do, but why (including detailed explanations for the instruments and teaching practices of any given era or composer) and how (providing specific exercises to actually accomplish it). Our discussions of learning processes haven’t just improved my approach to practicing but has also carried over somewhat into my own teaching as a writing instruction. The lessons have always given me something to look forward to.
