"My children have been taking music lessons from Wendy Loomis for years (one does guitar and the other does piano). They both enjoy going to music lessons with Wendy and we love hearing them play. They continue to learn, and Wendy does it in a way in which it is always fun for them. At the end of each lesson, for example, Wendy has them pick an instrument to play and she accompanies on the piano. Then, they switch roles. I like the free form where they get to "think outside the box" and feel the music. As a person, I think Wendy is not only a nice person and a great music teacher but she's also a music and arts enthusiast who promotes creativity and thoughtfulness. I highly recommend her to anyone considering music lessons." Laura K. ( parent) 

"As a young girl, I took piano lesson for years and only learned classical music.  I continued to play, but had such a hard time with jazz, blues and pop.  Wendy can teach it all and really helped me with my rhythm, the blues scales and jazz off-beat.  She knows how to teach in a gentle but firm manner.  I would highly recommend her to anyone."  Judith A. (San Francisco student & parent)
