My kids have been playing piano since they were 5 years old. After my family relocated to Katy from another state in 2006, we needed to find a piano teacher. But finding a good one is very challenging. I did extensive research online and asked around. After interviewing several teachers from our short list, we could not settle on any of them. With several years of experience interacting with my kids’ teachers, I was pretty clear what a good piano teacher should be.
One day, I got Libby's name in a chat. I called her right way and brought my kids along to her house for interview. I knew I found the right teacher when I saw her beautiful smile. After one hour practice with her, both kids said that they wanted to study with Libby.
Libby has the ability to light your spirit up. I want my kids to learn music in a loving and relaxing environment. l like the teacher who teaches kids with love and compassion without compromising on technical skills, not a stone-faced one with unpredictable mood sway.
Libby is such a unique person. I have never saw her being rude, unhappy in any circumstance. She is always upbeat with positive attitude. She is extremely patient with student, no matter which level you are. She treats everyone with the same love and passion.
Thanks for Libby, my kids not only play piano well but also learned how to deal problem with patience, treat people with love and compassion. To this day my kids still love her dearly, they enjoy stopping by Libby's house when they have a chance. If you want a wonderful qualified piano teacher for your kids, don't hesitate to call Libby, you won't be disappointed.

My son started his piano lessons with Mrs. Mickey last year. Mrs. Mickey is a good teacher. She is professional, patient, cheerful and encouraging. I like the way she teaches. She praises for hard work and quality, and corrects mistakes in a positive way without hurting feelings. My son enjoys her lessons and has been learning a lot about piano and music. More importantly, he has been building self-confidence in the learning process. I love that!

When I met Libby I had come from a previous bad experience in my past attempts at learning the piano; something I have wanted to do since childhood. As an adult student I was intimidated, nervous and more than uncertain of my ability. Libby is the first and only piano teacher with whom I have worked who convinced me that I COULD learn to play the piano. Her kindness, support, encouragement and love of teaching gave me the boost in self esteem that I needed to continue a life long dream and this time to actually succeed! With love and admiration, Thank you Libby!

My son Visha' and I strongly recommend Ms. Mickey as a top-rated piano teacher. My son who is an extremely shy teenager took lessons from her for about three years. We like the fact that she was very patient and provided excellent teaching. I was truly amazed and pleased with the progress my son made as a beginning student. The cost of her lessons were very reasonable for the piano instruction, theory instructions and computer aided learning skills she provided. Ms. Mickey is a five star piano teacher!

I am an adult student with no previous music experience. I have wanted to learn to play the piano my whole life, and Libby Mickey has made my dream come true. She has taught me to play many songs, and guided me with patience. Libby Mickey has many techniques that are fun and engaging to help me learn. I highly recommend the Mickey Music Studio.

Ms Libby's perseverance, patience, focus on progress and professionalism are some of the admirable attributes in addition to her excellent teaching skills. She inspires her students and always recognizes their accomplishments. The recitals by her students are a source of pride and pleasure for parents. She makes learning piano fun and interesting for children by allowing them to participate in the choice of pieces. She encourages frequent practice by using "Bach bucks" and prizes to give the kids a sense of accomplishment. Her teaching style is the perfect balance of friendly and encouraging, yet very professional. She devotes time to prepare each student for theory tests, ear-training and performances. My daughters look forward to their piano lessons each week. I highly recommend Ms Libby as a mentor and guide on your, or your child's musical journey.

Our children have a wonderful rapport with Ms. Libby. They have excelled under her instruction. Not only is Ms Libby a skilled and knowledgeable teacher, but her heart is in her work. She truly cares about each of her students.
