“Miss Cristin is so good at teaching ukulele because she is so fun at all our lessons. I am a student at her class and I enjoy every moment of it. She loves to hear us play and if we make mistakes she helps us. She is so good she knows all the chords and strums! So she can help us learn. She helps us become good players at ukulele! I love that its on zoom so I can even play ukulele in New Jersey while she is in California. I love taking lessons so much I can't even wait for my next one!”

“Since living in Hawaii I have always wanted to learn the ukulele. Taking these ukulele classes virtually during the pandemic, has afforded me this opportunity as well as the ability to connect with friends in various locations in the US. Cristin has really presented the classes in a way that are easy to follow, and pushed us to keep challenging ourselves. This has been such a wonderful opportunity and I highly recommend it to anyone who has thought about enhancing their musical abilities!”

“We are so thrilled to have Cristin teaching our daughter vocals and ukulele! Her passion and vast musical knowledge shine through every lesson. Cristin’s educational skills with children are instrumental in fostering our daughter’s love for music-she does this with such positivity and encouragement! We couldn’t be happier with her development. Thank you Illuminate Music!”
“Cristin has been so wonderful with our daughter Cassidy. She has created a warm, open, comfortable, and inviting space for learning, even through Zoom. Cristin’s beautiful singing during ukulele lessons peaked Cassidy’s interest in voice lessons. Taking both ukulele and voice lessons with Cristin has expanded Cassidy’s love of music. Cassidy said her favorite part of her lessons are all the fun songs, songs in different languages, and the silly cool downs. Cristin’s love of music and teaching is transparent and contagious and we are so appreciative of her passion that she shares with our family.”
