"As a gifted instructor and pianist, Kristina Lee helps students achieve remarkable progress. Her versatility in organizational skills and creative solutions allow them to tackle the toughest of musical problems. I’ve seen the results with my own eyes!

She is always exploring better ways to extend her outreach and the community at large has really benefited from the fruits of these endeavors.

Furthermore, Kristina is a loyal, caring individual whose well balanced approach to life makes her the perfect mentor for both teachers and students alike."

Deborah Dewey

"I have known Kristina Lee for over three decades. She arrived in my studio as a teenager with stunning natural technique, innate musicality and sparkling positive energy. 

Her lauded classical and jazz performances and flexible, comprehensive teaching style join to create a SUPERB musician-teacher. 

She is one of the few classically-trained musicians who additionally teaches improvisation and composition, all from a solid base of rhythm, body mechanics, musicality and sound production. 

Kristina's deep understanding of human nature and uncanny sense of each student's capability leads to unimagined successes. How very lucky to learn from her!"

"Kristina Lee is an extraordinary piano teacher...  From my very first lesson as a complete novice, she made me feel comfortable and excited.

Autumn Flick

"If you truly want to learn music and have the freedom to play any piece or create your own, Kristina is the coach for you!

I had a dream of composing music but never believed it was possible. After working with Kristina, I've been creating my original piano pieces and am in awe of what I've achieved.

Music is such a gift, and Kristina can give you the keys to the kingdom."

Grace Sudarman

"I have been lucky to know Kristina Lee as my piano teacher. When I first met Kristina, I was a third grader with very little piano skill and a huge desire to play.

I wanted to achieve playing difficult pieces at a timeline that my previous mentors didn’t support. But with Kristina, I never felt more supported as a student. She pushed me, lifted me up, and taught me more than just piano.

My achievements in piano, from learning Chopin’s Fantasie Impromptu to Liszt’s Liebestraum, are due to her authenticity and genuine investment as a person, and I couldn’t be more grateful." 

Bee Higa Cuff

"Kristina goes beyond what is usually taught in the traditional sense; she will determine where a student’s strength and interests lie and will bring out the best in their abilities making it fun and enjoyable, really teaching what hard work and dedication can bring.

I have been a pianist for 51 years and have learned many things from Kristina. She is progressive and continues to educate herself with an open heart and mind to pass-on to her students. Music is a never-ending process.

Kristina makes your musical journey an amazing, creative experience.

She is also a quality human being with great people skills. She generously shares the love of music with her students and all that know her."

Nat Song

"I started studying piano with Kristina Lee when I was ten years-old. I was a complete beginner and begged my parents for lessons. I am incredibly thankful to have found Kristina as a teacher. She saw my excitement to learn and helped nurture that spirit in my lessons.

She taught me technical fundamentals and how to play with sincere musicianship. She also introduced me to the concept of improvisation, something that would forever change my world. Kristina worked with me by building upon my existing love for music and incorporating what got me excited to play in our lessons.

I am now a jazz piano performance major at the University of Washington and continue to use all the skills  learned from my time with Kristina Lee."
