Experienced tutor in Piano in Asheville, Kate offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

My son has been taking lessons, in person and virtually, from Kate for several years. Kate is encouraging, patient, and responsive to her students' interests. Beginning with piano, we now incorporate singing and composing lessons as well.
Kate offers appropriate challenges and guides my son to learn and create. She is easy going and very knowledgeable about many aspects of music. We are grateful to have found her.

Kate is a joyful, thoughtful and a talented musician. She cares deeply for each of my daughters, and she rejoices in their musical abilities along with helping them to become better at piano and voice with each lesson. We are deeply grateful to have Kate Hurley as our piano teacher and voice instructor. She helps my daughters to discover their musical talents and helps them to reach their goals!

A fun, talented teacher, Kate makes exploring and practicing music a passion instead of a task. Her soulful voice and supportive techniques encourage her students with voices and skills of all types to improve themselves. She implements out-of-the-box warm-ups to help her students fully understand how to utilize different aspects of their voices. I started taking voice lessons much later (in my teens) than most people, and it was important to me to have a teacher who knew how to keep me interested. Kate is accepting and conscientious of how her teaching impacts her students, and it is clear that she cares about her job. While she taught me, I was able to go from stretching to reach a 2-octave range to confidently being able to sing 2.5-3 octaves. I am also aware of Kate's efforts to teach music to children who are less privileged. I think Kate is a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend her to all students.

Kate makes music fun and engaging! Our daughter leaves her voice & keyboard lessons with Kate excited to practice and thrilled about what she is learning. Definitely recommend!
