I took about 5 months of online vocal lessons with Kristin and it was really good.

As a bonus, I also got an opportunity to perform in one of the recitals hosted by Kirsten and it was a great experience. She's very flexible and knowledgeable, and knows how to pace yourself to improve your skills over time.

It was a wonderful experience having Kristen as a vocal coach. The bottom line is that I improved…read morein my singing, my confidence increased significantly, and Kristen was a really multifaceted person with a lot of flexibility to meet my goals. I enjoyed my meetings with her. She always so the positives and the possibilities, even when it came to my own songs. She was extremely supportive of working on my original music and helped me feel confident with the few songs I wrote that were pretty high on my range. She's also a very real person, so we could focus but we could also laugh or acknowledge if we were struggling a bit that day. She offers all of her students, piano and singing, to participate in a recital that is hosted by an elderly care facility for which she volunteers her time, I believe to do singing or choir. I suggest for any potential student to take that opportunity in that low stress environment with Kristen's support and other supportive students to practice being in front of people. Also, the residents really appreciated it. While meeting in person would have been nice and probably has some advantages, working remotely was really convenient and still quite effective. I highly recommend Seattle City Music with Kristen for your vocal or piano lessons!

He can teach teach all types of music and really focuses on what you want to learn and how to get you going with something that will motivate you to learn. He's created his own teaching materials and walks you patiently through them even though I can tell he's done this a million times. This studio on Westlake right on the water of Lake Union is a short walk from Amazon in South Lake Union. It's a cozy space part of Mike Hillman's studio that has a doorbell rigged up to a guitar, rock posters and a waiting bench. Other students range from high level tech execs to kids and everything in between. There are those that dedicated fiends looking to shred and those of us taking a slower route given our career focus. Mike is patient with all types and can accommodate. He also does hilarious voices. It's tough to have the courage to learn new things when you suck at first but Mike makes it feel like it's not an issue.

Where to start? Robert has done 3 jobs for me in the past year. First, he setup an Epiphone 339…read morethat looked great but didn't sound so hot. After his setup it sings and is now my favorite guitar. Next, I gave him a VOX Guardsman amp that had some static issues. He checked and cleaned every connection. When I got it back it sounded clean and loud. Next, he did a repair/restoration of an old LP that I did not take a care of. He straightened the neck, installed new frets, gold hardware and tuners, adjusted the nut and polished the whole thing. Robert returned it to factory condition. The neck is straight and the action is sublime. The quality of Robert's work is very high and he is equally gifted with instruments and amps which is rare. Additionaly, Robert is really easy to work with, a great communicator and his rates are super reasonable. I am very glad I found him and will be bringing him more work. I've had some good repairs before but Robert and Smithway are the best I have experienced.
