Client Testimonials
Our family has been part of the Sally Casey Piano Studio for nearly ten years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. Both of our daughters have studied with Sally since they were young, and her impact on their musical growth and personal development has been incredible.
Sally is an amazing teacher: patient, kind, flexible and endlessly encouraging. She brings a wonderful sense of humor and warmth to every lesson, making piano something our girls truly enjoy and look forward to each week. Her ability to balance fun with high standards has pushed them to reach their full potential.
She is not only extremely knowledgeable but also deeply committed to her students' success. Sally knows how to challenge them in just the right way, helping them grow in skill, confidence, and discipline.
We are so thankful to have found Sally. She has nurtured a lasting love of music in our daughters and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional piano teacher.
Karmen + Erik
Sally has been teaching our three daughters to one extent or another for the past ten years. What began as an interest in music for our oldest has turned into a tradition for all three. Sally has the grand ability to connect with kids right where they are at-from the littlest learners to the quirky middle schoolers and beyond. Sally knows just which students need a challenge beyond her classroom and those that are trepidatious to perform in front of others. She has tailored her approach to each of our children, determined in their success. Our older two continued from piano into band in middle school and high school, and our oldest will minor in music at college earning a music scholarship as well. I cannot recommend Sally Casey highly enough. After watching her teach for a decade there is no doubt in my mind, she is one of the best to introduce piano and music to students of all varieties.
Camille
Sally Casey is hands down the best piano teacher in the Gig Harbor Area. I am a music teacher and my granddaughter has taken lessons from Sally for several years now. My granddaughter has made it clear to me that she never wants to NOT take lessons from Sally. She loves it! Sally is not only a skilled player but she is a wonderful teacher. She is clear, knowledgeable, communicates well, very motivating, kind, fun, and has a good balance of expectations.
If you want to learn how to play the piano, Sally is the teacher for you.
Kathyann
Sally is an extraordinary teacher. With her giftedness of keyboard skills and knowledge of music theory she nudges students forward with playfulness, humor and encouragement. She tailors teaching to individual interests and aptitudes. This can mean a regimented academic approach or letting the student lead to keep them engaged - often a combination of both.
Robert
Sally has been an absolute treasure in our son's life, guiding him through over eight years of piano lessons. She's not just a wonderfully skilled teacher; she deeply listens to her students, building trust and fostering a genuine love for music. We particularly appreciated her flexibility and willingness to explore diverse musical styles. There was a period when our son strongly disliked classical piano, and Sally gracefully allowed him to pivot to other genres. Years later, he's come full circle, now embracing and loving classical music – a testament to Sally's patient and adaptable approach. Thanks to her, he has truly thrived, and piano has become a significant source of joy, comfort and accomplishment for him.
Beyond her exceptional teaching, Sally is incredibly personable and friendly; she genuinely feels like family. She's watched our children grow up, consistently nurturing their musical prowess. She has been a remarkably consistent and positive force in our son's life, and he will miss her dearly when he leaves for college. We couldn't recommend her more highly!
April
My daughter has been taking piano lessons with Sally Casey for several years now, and I can confidently say she’s an exceptional teacher. Her deep knowledge of music theory, technique, and performance is matched by her ability to communicate and connect with her students, regardless of age or skill level.
She’s patient, encouraging, and always tailors each lesson to suit my daughter’s goals and pace. Whether working through classical repertoire or experimenting with jazz improvisation, Sally keeps the lessons engaging and challenging without ever being overwhelming.
Her structured yet flexible approach has helped my daughter improve steadily and gain confidence in her playing. She also provides helpful practice strategies and feedback that makes learning outside of class more productive.
I highly recommend Sally to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive piano teacher.
