CB Music Studio

I have worked with Cathy since December 2004. Cathy resumed teaching private piano and voice lessons at Meridian Music just before she retired from piano sales. She continues to teach two days a week for Meridian Music in addition to the lessons she gives at home. Cathy works remarkably well with students of all ages. Cathy’s studio is successful because she is warm, friendly, and professional with all students and their families. Cathy is also very creative in using technology and current music in the studio and in recitals. Not only does Cathy teach piano and voice, she also teaches Harmony Road, an early childhood music program. Cathy also continues to further her knowledge of music education by maintaining and active membership in the Indiana Piano Teacher’s Association and by attending workshops for independent music instructors. I highly recommend Cathy for any child or adult wishing to begin private piano or voice lessons.

A few years ago, our daughter, who was 11 at the time, expressed interest in taking piano lessons. We searched for a piano teacher on the west side with no luck. Taking a chance, we stopped at Meridian Music to see if they knew of any teachers on the west side and were given Cathy’s contact information. Many times over the last 3 years, we have said that it was fate! Cathy is a wonderful teacher; she is an exceptional pianist herself and is a kind, warm instructor for the kids. Our daughter is also a vocalist and has on occasion had vocal lessons with Cathy, but she truly enjoys piano and looks forward to her lessons. We are amazed at the progress she has shown in such a short time, and it is wonderful to have “live” music in our house! We definitely recommend Cathy – she is a real gem…Tom and Lynn Vertacnik, Brownsburg

Our  children have been taking piano lessons with Ms. Cathy at CB Music Studio for a few years now.  They have learned so much and have started to really play beautifully.  We love, and look forward to the recitals each year to see how much they’ve grown in their love of music.  I do have to add the little incentives she offers such as candy and a prize when they complete their goals doesn’t hurt their enthusiasm either. 🙂  They really look forward those special rewards for their hard work.  She is kind and patient with them and they always look forward to their lessons.  Denice Styck
