  • I am a teacher by profession and I find Simone Parker to be an amazing and gifted teacher. Not only is she accomplished on the piano and strings, she knows how to teach children. She is patient yet firm, can see when a child is struggling and redirects them. She knows when a child needs a little push to overcome an obstacle. I highly recommend her!

  • Thank you for being one of the best music teachers, if not the best music teacher, I've ever had. I've learned so much from you, and I really appreciate your patience and kindness.

  • Mrs. Parker is a fine teacher and knowledgeable. She is also very passionate and enthusiastic about teaching. ... I loved this course! I think it is extremely difficult to make theory a fun course for students, but Professor Parker was able to do so. I've learned so much, and the way she taught us will allow the information to percolate and be retained throughout our life. She is one of the best instructors I've had throughout my four years of schooling. I'm so sad I'm graduating because I wish I could take more classes taught by her!
