Private Instruction
"We just wanted to express our appreciation for you and your teaching. D. definitely felt she made a connection with you. She loved that you're "young and made learning fun."

"Before I went to piano lessons with Mrs. Stephanie Krell, I did not know how to play the piano. I couldn't play a single chord. That was about 18 months ago. I am now fluent on the piano. I can play through most of the circle of 5ths without trouble, and identify many notes on the keyboard.
Mrs. Stephanie started from the beginning and walked me through each step one by one, making it extremely easy to understand. We used flashcards, and set goals making me more excited to practice. All of her lessons were centered around the same schedule.
Mrs. Stephanie helped me gain confidence and become very good on the piano. She would be the 1st I would recommend to anyone. On top of her piano skills, she is extremely friendly and nice to talk to."

"My son was blessed with the opportunity to be one of Stephanie Krell's piano students. During his time with Stephanie, he not only found a love for the piano, but for music in general. He looked forward to his weekly lessons and the challenged Stephanie brought to him. He was given the chance to take part in the local Guild Piano Audition which improved his confidence level not only with the piano, but as an individual...all because Stephanie believed in him. Stephanie Krell has my highest recommendation as a piano teacher."

"You have been a great positive influence on our Andrew and his love of music. You built a strong foundation for him in piano and taught him so much music theory, while mixing Classical and Modern pieces. He always looked forward to his piano class and every chance he had, Andrew showed off what you taught him. As parents, we were very impressed by the auditions, recitals and MAMTG entries."

"My 5-yr-old daughter started learning piano with Ms. Stephanie Krell and she absolutely loved it. Ms. Krell is very patient and encouraging to children. Her teaching style is very suitable for all age groups."
-Krishna N., Princeton, NJ
"Stephanie is a fantastic teacher. She can quickly determine how much does a student know and she builds on these skills, offering something new at every class. Her explanations about music theory are very clear and age appropriate. She pays attention to all the details that a violinist needs to know: the bow hold, the fingers, the rhythm etc. Her classes are challenging and always very interesting. You can consider yourself really lucky if she becomes your teacher."

Performance
"Stephanie Krell is an accomplished violinist, who displays the music of an artist in her playing. She has played as part of an ensemble for both of my daughter’s weddings, and has also played the violin as part of an ensemble in which I participated. Her reading and intonation are impeccable and she is able to improvise. Stephanie is always professional in all aspects of performance and ensemble work. Her playing is an enhancement to any presentation."
-Mari-Jo P., Lincroft, NJ
"Stephanie played solo violin for our wedding and did a wonderful job. My guests were very impressed with the beauty that her music brought to our event. I would also like to say that Stephanie is very dependable and attentive. I appreciated that she got back to me very quickly with any questions and discussions leading up to the event. A true professional! My chapel coordinator and photographer were equally impressed and wanted her contact information for future recommendations. I would gladly refer Soli Deo Gloria to anyone. Thank you for helping to make my wedding day amazing! We appreciate your wonderful service and professionalism."

-Kario D., Woodbridge, NJ
"Stephanie Krell was very helpful and friendly throughout the whole process. She offered great selections for songs that ended up sounding amazing. I was married in a church and I already had an organist but I wanted to add another instrument. I am glad I decided to hire Stephanie Krell. The violin was a very classy and elegant touch to the songs that were played. I would recommend her to anyone."
-Melissa B., Fair Lawn, NJ
"After enjoying Stephanie's performance at my cousin's wedding, I knew I wanted her to play when I walked down the aisle. Her cooperation and enthusiasm makes the planning process stress-free. And on the big day, everything from her music to her poise was instilled with the utmost beauty and grace; the perfect accompaniment to such a meaningful ceremony."

-Victoria N., Milltown, NJ
"Stephanie was extremely professional and accommodating in both working with us prior to the wedding as well as her overall performance during our ceremony. She was extremely flexible and was an intricate part of the musical planning and guided us in planning out our musical needs throughout the ceremony. We couldn't be happier with our choice of Stephanie for our musical needs for our wedding ceremony this past December."
