CONGRATULATIONS to those who participated in our Annual Student Concert on June 23, 2022, at The Crossroads in Howell.


On that date, the Student and Community Ensemble Band presented our Annual Patriotic Concert--"A Salute to Our Heroes" at The Crossroads at Howell and at Friendship Gardens, Howell.

CONGRATULATIONS to this group of musicians, as well! It was great to get back to seeing the residents as we performed "live", something we weren't able to do for 2 years.

Testimonials

"Hi Judie,

     I finally received your letter and DVDs.  Thank you for the beautiful letter, and it has always been a pleasure to help you as a student.  I got a chance to watch the entire 2016 video of your program.  You are doing an amazing job with those kids, and I was proud to say you were a student of mine.  You will always be in the memory of those kids throughout their lives.  

     Keep in touch, and keep up the great results I see with those students."

~ Myles Feltenberger

Mentor of Judie Jensen since 1970

"Taking piano lessons has assisted my kids with learning music theory. They enjoy playing duets with Ms. Judie."   ~ Anonymous

 

"Judie helps me to keep up with the choir that I sing with. I need extra practice in addition to my weekly gatherings at church. It makes me a more confident singer."     ~ Debbie F.

 

"Judie makes learning to play the piano fun for everyone. She is also very patient as I learn to count to four. I appreciate all she does for me and my granddaughter."     ~ Emery D.

 

"The hard work and practice that is put in to progressing teaches life lessons and provides great experiences that I'll keep forever."     ~ Nick F.

 

Miss Judie has infinite patience with our daughter and me. She is very caring and dedicated to our desire to learn music. She has become more than a music teacher to us and is now a part of our family.”     ~ Brianna M.

 

You are the best piano teacher! Maybe one day I'll be a great musician because of you!”    

~ Maura C.

"Judie has taught my sons music for over six years. When you find a person who has the knowledge and expertise in her field, the ability to teach it to others and the heart to care for her students, you know you have found someone precious. She so values her students and their potential that she passionately strives to take their skills to the next level. Her strong work ethic motivates her to give her very best in each lesson. She is indeed a precious find!"     ~ Sunila K. 

​

"My daughter has a learning disability.  She loved the lessons!  We loved your style and the ability to zero in right where she is.  As a teacher, my husband felt that you have obviously seen and worked with kids at all levels, so it was on target."     ~ Vinette J.


"Miss Judie is able to impart her enthusiasm and love of playing the piano to my daughters and recently-joined son.  Miss Judie is not only friendly and patient but is also good at gauging her student's level of knowledge and ability.  The progress that my children have made exceeded any expectations I had.  Not only have my children grown as piano players, they have gained more confidence in themselves.  I am very thankful and would highly recommend Expressions and Reflections."     ~ Phyllis C.


"After two months of lessons with Miss Judie, my 8-year-old is impressing me by playing with both hands and counting properly.  My mother-in-law, having owned and taught in two Yamaha schools and being much more critical with regard to piano lessons, was floored by how Paige plays and counts in less than two months.  Thank you, Miss Judie!"     ~ Ruth Ruffman

​

"I would highly recommend Expressions and Reflections if you or your child are interested in learning an instrument.  Judie Jensen is not only an accomplished musician but a wonderful teacher whonot only teaches you how to play but also teaches theory to fully immerse you in your instruction.  I have witnessed my daughter grow in leaps and bounds with Miss Judie as her instructor.  Thank you, Miss Judie!     ~ Tracey V.

"MIss Judie is extremely talented and absolutely loves to teach.  She is always striving to bring out the best in the kids she teaches.  Best piano teacher!"     ~ Felicia C.
