I have had Dr. Kingma as my piano instructor since I started college two years ago. I look forward to my lesson every week because I know he will help me improve and better understand some musical area of my playing. He is not a boring teacher. He is passionate about what he teaches and it reflects in his lessons. I like how he explains a concept during a lesson, and also demonstrates it when needed. I find this helpful especially when I do not fully understand a concept.

  Dr. Kingma is a phenomenal teacher! His passion for music is contagious, and I’ve learned so much studying with him.

  Dr. Kingma is an amazing teacher. I studied with him for the last two years of my undergraduate, and I can’t believe how much I learned in those two years. He knows exactly how to help with any technical problem, but the focus is always on the music and how to phrase every voice. Dr. Kingma is encouraging and gracious and inspires students to work to the best of their ability with high standards and goals. He is also very generous toward his students and willing to help in any way. I would highly recommend Dr. Kingma to any pianist wanting to study seriously.
