"I met Rebecca Kaup about three years ago when my church hired her as the Director of Music Ministry. Immediately, I discovered that Rebecca is a phenomenal pianist, a brilliant musician and has an amazingly kind heart.
My music journey began in the 4th grade when I started playing the tenor saxophone. I am now in my mid 60’s and still play the sax in a community jazz band. When I was in my mid 40’s I joined the church choir, and within the last couple of years, I joined the church bell choir. The one instrument I always wanted to learn to play was piano but I never found the right piano teacher. This all changed when I met Rebecca.
Rebecca possesses exceptional musical knowledge, technical expertise, and a genuine passion for teaching. She will create a positive, encouraging, and engaging learning environment where students of all ages and skill levels can develop confidence and achieve their musical goals. Rebecca’s patience, professionalism, and ability to tailor lessons to each student's individual needs make her an exceptional instructor.
Beyond teaching piano technique, Rebecca inspires students to appreciate music, develop discipline, and express themselves creatively. She consistently encourages steady progress while making lessons enjoyable and motivating. Her commitment to student success is unwavering and evident in the growth, confidence, and accomplishments of those she teaches.
I wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca as a piano teacher. She is without a doubt the right choice to learn piano no matter your skill level and I cannot recommend her highly enough." – Steve Neururer 2026
"After walking by our piano every day, I decided I should learn to play it! Becca had been teaching my daughters both voice and piano, so I contacted her. My stated goal to her was to be able to play 1 song well at the airport piano. Becca worked with me to find a mutually agreeable time, and has been more than accommodating with my crazy schedule ever since. I look forward to our weekly piano lessons- no emails, no cell-phone, just 100pct developing a new skill. She makes learning piano FUN and works with you to achieve your own goals. I’m not the greatest piano player, but I’ve gotten better. I can hear with a more critical ear, I understand the methodology behind chord structure and inversions, and I can read music. All taught by Becca- without a book (I never wanted one), at my own pace, while putting up with my nuances (I still won’t use the pedals). I’ve exceeded my goal, and I keep expanding it. Next up- adding singing to my piano. I enjoy our weekly time together. Becca has become a true friend, and I’m blessed that I get to learn from her each and every lesson." - B. Smith
"Hi! I'm James Casserly and I've been a student of Ms. Kaup since kindergarten. I am now in seventh grade and still loving piano.
That is because Ms. Kaup has inspired me not just to play piano, but to love music. Ms. Kaup always makes learning piano fun and challenging. She is the best." - James Casserly
"Strength for the soul, healing for the heart, music to make the spirit soar. Rebecca is an exceptional musician and a delightful person. I came to her for voice lessons and found a life coach. She’s tripled my vocal range and taught me techniques to perfect the sound I produce. It may be basic music theory but it’s offered with loving care and poignant story. She listens, to the music yes, but also to me, especially to me. Music lessons, life lessons, this is music therapy at its best. What a privilege it is to learn the power of music with Rebecca." - C.E.
"My daughter has taken piano lessons with Rebecca for a few years now. She looks forward to her piano lessons each week. Rebecca positively, enthusiastically, and professionally engages her students in each lesson by providing fun music and creative techniques for learning and does it with both kindness and patience. Rebecca creates an environment that is relaxed, friendly, and inspiring. Rebecca is an extremely talented musician and I would highly recommend her to anyone of any age for lessons." - Mandy Saunders
"For most of us, memorial services are a rare event. How helpful, then, to have a caring and experienced professional like Rebecca assist in defining the music for this occasion. Rebecca knows music; she also knows people. In this time of difficulty and strain, she meets a need for understanding, solace, and musical selection." - C.E.
"Words can never capture how much it meant to me & my family to have your beautiful gift of music at Mom's service. You came into a very difficult time in our lives as a bright ray of sunshine. I only wish we'd recorded it - as I play it over and over in my mind. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts." - J.N.
