Seth is kind, talented, supportive, and child-centered in his approach. It is always a competition in our house who liked Seth better between the student and the parent; this mutual appreciation calls for a rare blend of qualities.                                          

- Gwen Mitchell, parent

Seth and I worked very well together and I always looked forward to our lessons. He taught me a lot about wrist position, simplifying movements, and helped me feel musical even at my very low skill level. He provided me with the beginnings of some practical and useful skills and always kept me motivated.
