We have nothing but positive things to say about Carrie and her music school. She brings both excellence and grace to her lessons, providing both the push needed to improve and the warmth to keep it enjoyable. She seeks our input on the style of songs that our daughter will practice, and has included learning hymns as an option, which I love. I highly recommend Carrie Wickens Music!

My daughter absolutely loves taking piano lessons from Carrie! She is very compassionate and also patient with my younger learner. We could not be happier!

"Carrie has been such a blessing to our family! She is an amazing piano teacher that always makes class fun! My daughter always looks forward to her weekly classes!" 

"Carrie is enthusiastic and encouraging to my children while requiring attention to detail during their music lessons. Carrie is flexible and thinks "outside the box"! One son has a learning disability, and Carrie did research to find the best way for him to be able to learn to play the piano. I couldn't be more thankful that Carrie has helped my son to feel confident and positive even though he learns differently. She is easy to work with, and my children and I enjoy her!" 

"If you are looking for a piano teacher who is truly passionate about teaching and loves interacting with students, Mrs. Wickens will not disappoint. Every lesson she helps the student stay engaged while making learning piano fun. Truly a blessing to this community! Every week our children look forward to their lessons" 

Carrie has been teaching our first grader since August. He loves his piano lessons and Carrie makes the lessons fun while not wasting time! She has a good ear and can tell if he is playing the wrong notes which is perfect for zoom piano lessons. We have loved her teaching and would absolutely recommend her as a piano teacher!!

We are nearing three years of online piano lessons with Carrie. Over the years Carrie has remained a consistently patient and caring teacher. She is always prepared with a little fun way to motivate my nine year old daughter and she has been so flexible with us through sickness, family visits and other things that life throws our way. Even though we live in the UK, Carrie has managed to give us a great time slot that works for all parties. Lastly and most practically, I love not having to leave our home for this lesson. Many other things pull us in different directions so when we can stay home and have a lesson from the comfort of our piano chair it is a blessing. Carrie is a gifted pianist and I'm thankful she is using her gift to teach the next generation.

I am very grateful to be able to take hymn playing lessons from Carrie. It has been many years since taking classical piano lessons, so it has been quite a process to transition to playing hymns congregational style. Carrie has been very helpful in this process with her patient & caring approach to teaching. She always provides encouragement and incite into how to become skillful in this new area. Carrie has an intuitive way to help me understand music theory concepts and apply them to improvising with hymns. It is a wonderful blessing to be working with Carrie!

My first thought was “Remote video lessons. How does that work?” However, I know Carrie personally, so we wanted to give her a chance. I’m glad I did! Carrie not only holds my son’s attention; she sees and corrects his hand position and posture. And brings him back when he ‘drifts’ out. I could go on and on but I’ll stop at this: “Remote piano lessons. They work!” If you still have hesitations, Carrie offers a free first lesson so give her a chance! She’s worth it.
