TESTIMONIALS
"Our 7 year old Daughter has been taking piano and singing lessons with Miss Julie for about 18 months and has made tremendous progress. We also see great improvements in her math ability through theory lessons and self-confidence when it comes to performing or being in situations that would previously make her hide away, such as meeting new people. What's more, Julie makes the lessons fun! She shows up with her enthusiasm that is simply contagious and when my Daughter shows interest in a specific area of focus, Julie Seamlessly changes her lesson plan to capture that energy. Whether virtual or in-person lessons, she keeps my Daughter focused and shows a genuine love for the work she's doing. We appreciate her bringing that same love to our Daughter!"
Megan and Ben, Parents of Daughter age 7
" If you are considering music lessons for your children, do it. You will never be sorry. Learning piano lessons has been amazing for my children, and I'm so thrilled we found Ms. Julie. She is an incredible teacher and is wonderful with children, even when they're a handful! She's also incredibly professional and I really appreciate the way she runs her business. we've been with her since my children were 4 and 6 (they are now 6 and 8 years old) and watching them develop a love of music, and improve in their piano practice has been amazing. I am so glad we started on this journey. We loved Ms. Julie's studio but when we switched to online I was amazed at how well Ms. Julie was able to pivot and make online lessons work. My children are always so excited for lesson days! I'm so glad we've been able to continue on this journey and plan to keep going and growing in music. I'm certain it's one of the best decisions I've made for my children"
Christin, Mom of ages 6 and 8
“Julie Berry is a music teacher to two of our children ages 5 and 7. Our family and kids all really adore Julie. She is a very talented musician but an even greater teacher for our kids. She is patient and truly customizes her approach for both of our kids based on their learning needs. She is an exceptional piano, guitar, ukulele and vocal teacher. We had the experience of working with at least a half-dozen piano teachers and none of them even come close to the professionalism of Julie. Our family would highly recommend any family to consider Julie as a private music teacher for your children.”
Carlos and Jenni, Parents of ages 5 and 7 
"Julie teaches my son who has Autism spectrum disorder. She took a child who had-for the first 13 years of his life-expressed no interest in music at all and turned him into a composer. My son now plays the piano on his own, without prodding, and composes his own pieces. Julie not only taught him the mechanics of piano playing; she taught him how to express himself through music. This was really amazing for me as a parent because it opened him in a way that we had never seen.”
Sarah, Mother of ages 18 and 15
“Music is a beautiful language, while learning to play instruments and practice is not always fun, Ms. Julie is the perfect teacher ever who teaches very young students to play, enjoy, and share music. She’s building my Daughter into a little musician!”
Shanshan, Mother of age 6
“My son does a lot of activities. We have a very full calendar all the time. He plays a lot of sports. For the longest time, I’ve wanted him to try out something musical, something to round him out and holistically balance his life. He chose piano, and we found Julie through a recommendation from a friend at school. I wasn’t a 100% sure my son would stick with it or be willing to put in the time practicing outside of his lessons. But a few months in and he’s loving it! He will be doing his first public(no-pressure) Music share in a couple of weeks. Our son has always responded well to positive feedback and Julie is the most positive and enthusiastic teachers of anything I’ve ever met. I’m very proud of my son’s piano accomplishments so far and so very happy that we met Julie!”
Brandon, Father of age 7
”My Daughter has been taking piano lessons for 4 years. During that time, she never developed the passion to play the piano. We decided to let our previous teacher go and searched for a new teacher. We met Julie and instantly hired her. Since then, our Daughter has not only improved on the piano tremendously but also started to sing. Her confidence level increased literally 10-fold. Julie has a great passion for music and passes that on to her students. I without hesitation recommend Julie as your music teacher.”
Adnan, Father of age 12
”Julie is our Daughters 3 rd piano teacher and our younger son’s first piano teacher. We are so happy with her instruction that even my mom became a student of hers! Julie has an incredible ability to engage and help people of all ages to learn and love music. She has taught our kids to play piano and taught them how to sing. We are so thankful for her and are so glad she is their teacher!”
Sandy and Luke, Parents of ages 8
“Julie has instructed my kids in both piano and voice. I cannot provide a strong enough endorsement of her. Julie taught my Daughter Piano and voice. My Daughter has been taking voice instruction for 7 years and has had an exposure to a variety of teachers and teaching methods. Julies skill as a teacher is unmatched. My Daughter recently told me that after having Julie for a teacher, she would not want another because she cannot match Julies ability, knowledge, enthusiasm, or teaching skill.
"My Daughter truly enjoyed Julies beginner class in music and piano lessons, and it was so great to see her grow in her love for music as well as comprehension of musical basics. I felt that Mrs. Julie gave my Daughter a strong musical foundation and taught her concepts increasing in difficulty level, and at a challenging yet attainable steady pace. Mrs. Julie can hold the attention of children in both a friendly and serious, welcoming and patient manner. Mrs. Julie’s passion and love for music rubbed off on my Daughter in a way that I know has been a very positive influence during her formative musical years. I highly recommend Mrs. Julie to any parent hoping to nurture their Childs’s love for and talent in Music.”
Erika, Mom of age 4
”It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Julie Berry as Your next music teacher. Julie held the position of piano teacher for my two young Daughters, while teaching at Kramer’s school of Music in Minnetonka, MN. But to me and my girls she was so much more. Upon meeting with Julie for their first lesson, my Daughters were instantly inspired, and I was in awes of her positivity and enthusiasm. Julie exudes this light which you cannot only see, but you can also feel when you are in her presence. Went above and beyond all aspects of her job, inspiring my girls not only to play the piano, but encouraging them to sing and write their own songs as well. She made practicing piano fun and made my girls feel like they were capable of anything. She sought opportunities for music shares in the community all on her own, to give children more opportunities to play in front of an audience, while also providing a much-needed service at nursing homes and retirement communities. She is not just an amazing piano teacher, but an outstanding human being who we should all strive to be more like. Since she moved out of state, there has been no replacing the kind of talent, kindness, and passion that Julie brought to the table.”
Jackie, Daughter of ages 8 and 5
” I met Julie when she taught a toddler music class through the community education program in Maple Grove, MN. I noticed immediately that she had a knack for working with young children and her energy and love for music were contagious. We began private lesson when my eldest was 4 and my youngest was 2. Julie came armed with her guitar, instruments, and children’s songs. She held their attention. The lessons were both fun and appropriate for their age. They learned musical concepts and began to play the piano at music shares. Both of my boys looked forward to piano and were so sad when she moved away!”
Sarah, Mom of ages 5 and 3
”Julie is a dynamic teacher who made learning the piano fun and exciting for my 6-year-old son.” Sherry, Mother of age 6
“I was a little nervous about how my 2-year-old with autism would react in Julies toddler music class, but she was immediately intuitive and sensitive to his sensitivities to sound and adjusted the class to make him feel welcome and comfortable in such a graceful and seamless manner. I was amazed at how he responded and wanted to go every week!”
Tanya, mom of age 2
“I am so glad my daughter has Julie Berry as her piano teacher. She was referred by one of my friends whose daughter has been learning piano with Julie for quite a while. Julie is so experienced with teaching, my daughter loved her from the first lesson, then she started expecting every Sunday when her piano lesson.
Learning from Julie is an enjoyable experience, her goal is for the little ones to enjoy and love music instead of just pushing them to play piano, so learning from her is not only learning an instrument also exploring the musical world. She creates a lot of opportunities for performances and recitals which is good for the little kids to share their talent or performance with others, they build up confidence with playing and sharing music in front of people.
Julie is a very experienced, highly qualified musician, she does not only teach piano but also plays a lot other instrument and does vocal teaching. Her patience and good sense of humor will be charismatic to everyone she taught. You will know for sure that you have the right teacher at the first time you see her.”
Yanjun, mother of age 5
“Miss Julie is the best! She teaches piano and voice lessons to my three children ages 7, 9, and 12. She is patient, encouraging, and makes lessons fun. I am very grateful for the wonderful work she does!”
Misty, Mother of ages 12, 9, and 7
“Julie Berry is such a wonderful piano teacher! My Daughter, age 5 has private lessons with her, and my Son 0-3-year-old had a baby/parent class with her. She is talented, professional, and most importantly, our kiddos like her so much! Learning music and piano became such a joy in their lives. Thank you miss Julie Berry for this customized, interesting approach to our kids. Definitely recommend Julie to any family!”
Linda and Allen, Parents of ages 5 and 1
“Julie has been a great inspiration for my Daughter! She has really helped her emerge into a musician- We cannot say enough about her. Our Daughter absolutely adores her! She teaches in a very encouraging, soft, and persuasive way”
