More than a piano teacher, Donna Kay Croddy is a music mentor who develops a passion for excellence in her students. Donna Kay guides the student through the nuances, subtleties, and beauty of every piece she teaches. We have been so fortunate to have experienced her dedication and the love for music she has instilled in our children.

I have learned so much from Mrs. Croddy. While she used her amazing teaching skills to instruct me in piano, she taught me discipline through practice, the value of hard work, how to blow my nose (that was hilarious), the patience required to teach others, and so many other things.
—Emma Eckenhoff
