"Anita Rose is such a pleasure to work with and learn from, and makes you feel welcome the moment you enter the door to her lovely home. As an instructor she is experienced and thorough, making sure to catch any developing bad habits while being encouraging and offering any piece of advice at her disposal. Informative as well, she always has something to teach you about a piece and it's composer. I went to her with a bare-bones basic knowledge of music theory and extremely rusty beginner skills and she has been nothing but patient with me. I'm astounded to look back on everything I have learned since meeting her! I feel comfortable in saying anyone from no experience to learned players can go to her and become more educated in the piano. If you have any inclination to learn how to play
I highly recommend giving her a call." - C. Golden

"Anita Rose has been teaching piano to my 12 year old daughter, Gina, for the past 1.5 years and will continue to teach Gina for many more years. Anita Rose is the single best music teacher in all of Port Orchard (I’d say the Universe, that’s how much we love her). Anita has a teaching style that is encouraging, fun, educational, and progressive. She doesn’t stop with just teaching in the classroom. Anita is always sending thoughtful articles, links, tidbits, and musical venue announcements, so her students can take advantage of opportunities and information beyond just the classroom.
Anita often records short pieces that my daughter plays and emails them to me. She has coached Gina to learn all the musical terms, write and compose her own music and enter composer contests. Through Anita, we signed up for the Kitsap Music Teachers Association (KMTA) Music Carnival in Poulsbo, where Gina was tested in Music Theory, Ear Training, Site Reading, Rhythm and Technique. My daughter is shy, and this was a great exercise for her to perform in a low-pressure testing environment that was fun.
Anita also has little games and competitions to encourage her kids to practice more and earn little prizes. She has an open house recital a couple times a year, where parents and relatives can come see their child perform, win prizes and eat goodies. My daughter loves her music teacher. Anita’s rates are very fair and she gives 110% to her students. I would highly recommend Anita Rose to anyone looking for an awesome music teacher to teach piano or voice. Her grand piano is also great incentive…the sound is amazing! " - A Cartwright
"I have two boys. They are active. They are impulsive. I'm pretty sure they are very much like most young boys and yet I feel afraid when I go out into the world with them. I've seen that look on people's faces. They are offended. My boys are too loud. My boys just ran through the flower bed. My boys just broke something...
But, Anita Rose didn't seem phased by them. At first I thought she was just being nice to attract a new family to her music studio. But, now I feel really lucky. I feel lucky that she had a slot in her teaching schedule for my boys. And, I feel luckiest of all that I found a teacher for the boys who seems to genuinely like them -- not just tolerate them; like them.
This mom is so relieved. After all, they are sweet, kindhearted individuals who I hope to parent into fine and decent men. Anita is helping me. And, there aren't words to express how grateful I am about that." - M. Fowler

"Anita Rose is delightful and fun. She also knows her stuff! Her expertise, combined with her warm encouraging spirit make her an amazing music teacher. My daughter ADORES piano lesson day and wants to practice. Can't say enough good true things about her." R. Sorter

"I had a great experience learning from Anita. She tuned her teaching to my needs perfectly." C. Arness
"Anita has créated a warm and welcoming environment in which students of all ages and levels of accomplishment feel comfortable in learning. As a beginning students in my 60s I feel as at ease as do the 6 yr. olds and teens that I greet as I come to and from my lessons." - F. Frampton
