A review of Kate Plane by Julie Williamson - 14th March 2010

"Excellent trumpet teacher, very patient"

My son, age 8, started learning the trumpet 3 months ago with Kate and he has made excellent prgress in a short space of time. She is very patient and provides him with lots of encouragement, which he thrives on.
