"Kathleen and Jess are true professionals who take a genuine interest in seeing that
our children not only learn but enjoy playing the piano and their band & orchestra
instruments. Our children actually want to go to their lessons."
-Jim Trauring

"Gain was learning about sound in his 3rd grade class. He asked me if he could learn
violin, and I said yes. I found Kniskern Music House on the internet and called right
away. Gian started right away and loves it. He is so motivated to learn and has even
taught himself some songs beyond his lesson. He finds it challenging, but that
motivates him to do well. He usually practices on his own without me telling him."
-Renee V. Esteves

"Although we have only been coming to Kniskern since Jan. 2011, our experience

working with Jess."

children attend piano lessons with Jessica. They both adore her. They look forward to
lessons each week, and don't mind practicing. Additionally, they have both made
much progress. My husband and I are extremely pleased.

"My son Sean has been taking guitar lessons at Kniskern for 2 years; he started
when he was 5. He will be 8 soon and is still very interested in continuing. Miss Jess
has helped Sean become a great guitar player. She teaches him the latest songs
which keeps him wanting to play more. Taking lessons at Kniskern Music House has
helped Sean become more self confident. He loves to play at recitals and for his
friends, family and community."
-Carole Conroy


"Zach loves coming to class. He practices hard all the time and loves to learn new
songs to impress his parents. Even my 3 year old loves to come and listen and play.
The best part was the recital. His whole family went and we were very proud of his
accomplishments."
-Mark Cozzens

forward to his lessons."

Warm & friendly environment. We have taken lessons at another studio in town for
several years (3) and one of my children was still struggling with reading music. The
previous studio didn't think it was important! Glad that she is finally learning the
basics."

"Music has always been an important part of my childhood, so when my children
decided to pursue music, we came right to '"Kniskern Music House".
My daughter has enjoyed piano lessons and has been given such incentive to learn
from her teacher, Nancy McClain.  Mrs. McClain has taught her not only how to read
music, but also technique, stamina, and stage presence.
My son began guitar with Jess Machillo when he was six.  He has done extremely
well under her guidance.  Her patience and enthusiasm has given him the drive to play
everyday!  His music training at a young age has given him the confidence and
success now for the violin he plays at school!
We hope to continue at "Kniskern Music House" for a long time!"
-Alicia Guardino



"Miss. Jess [Marchillo] is great and engages the children immediately. Miles was
completely entertained! His listening and communication has greatly improved along
with his ability to follow directions. I really recommend
"Music and Me" for children
with all abilities because it fun but also educational!"
- Andrea Mosette



"Our grandson, Emery, has taken piano lessons with Chris who is the best teacher
we've ever had. He did more than teach!  Chris' enthusiasm and love of music is now
a part of our life.  Eventually, Emery had decided to participate in the school orchestra
and needed to choose a stringed instrument.  He choose violin and we decided to get
him extra lessons.  Who would believe we got another great teacher (at the "Kniskern
Music House")!  Not only is Emery taught how to play, but to also enjoy playing and
looking forward to his lessons.
We love the homey, caring atmosphere at "Kniskern Music House" and wouldn't
recommend any other place!
-Helen Widman



"We love "Kniskern Music House"! Everyone is so personable and friendly. We feel at
home when we walk in the door. My son enjoys his piano lessons so much and has
gained confidence and an appreciation for music!"
