Professor Kingma is an outstanding pianist and teacher. He has a great gift to identify for students exactly what elements of their play to refine right now.
He selects pieces carefully so students have the best opportunity to focus on the next milestone of their musical achievement and he inspires a desire for perfection.
Dr Kingma additionally kindles in students a vigorous appreciation for the essential ideas and beauty in their music and a reflection on how to bring these ideas to life through thoughtful and precise play.
He is also very kind, personable, and pleasant and easy to work with.

I couldn't ask for a better teacher than Dr. Kingma for my daughter. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and detailed in lessons. Most importantly, he sees where she could be in the future and how to get her there. She is progressing so much, is finally content, and I've never seen her happier.

I had Dr. Kingma as my piano teacher for my final year of piano lessons in high school. He was very patient, and he gave clear instructions to me each week on how to improve. Most importantly, he taught me to really listen to the music rather than just playing my way through it. I’d highly recommend Dr. Kingma to anybody looking for a great piano teacher!
