What people are saying about Marilyn’s Teaching​:

​

"I am pleased to be a reference for Marilyn Krebs as she pursues the position of a Fine Arts Educator specializing in piano and guitar.  Marilyn currently serves as a volunteer in two of our programs at Mt. Washington Presbyterian Church. She is a Sunday School teacher and a staff member of our after school program where she teaches in the classroom and helped in the production of our Christmas musical.  She is creative and innovative in her approach to teaching, and engages the children in a fun-filled multisensory experience.  Music and drama are highlights for the children in her classes."

- Kandy Stone (Previous) Director of Children and Family Ministry, Mt. Washington Presbyterian Church

"Marilyn is an outstanding educator grounded in the education philosophy of John Dewey and the best practices of constructivist theory. My son Leo is a direct beneficiary of her ability to blend music education and application in that she uses unique approaches that scaffold the learner's experience and serves as a facilitative partner in their learning journey. She is the consummate teacher and lifelong learner!" - Nathan Long, previous parent of piano and guitar student

 

"Marilyn Krebs is one of the most energetic and enthusiastic teachers I have had the opportunity to work with in my 30 years of teaching. She is always well prepared for class. She goes out of her way to keep parents informed and offers them ways to support lessons at home. Marilyn uses a firm but gentle touch when dealing with discipline. She has a real knack for finding the strengths in even the most difficult students. Marilyn is a rare teaching gem who would really add sparkle to any staff."
