★★★★★Chen XuMy daughter is 6 and a half and has been taking piano lessons with Ms. Sue, and we absolutely love her! She’s an amazing teacher—so thoughtful and observant. She really takes the time to understand each child and adjusts her teaching style and pace to fit them perfectly. Because of that, my daughter stays interested, enjoys practicing, and is making great progress at the same time. My daughter adores Ms. Sue, and she especially loves the recitals—they’re always such fun and exciting evenings! I also really love this music space. The small concerts held here feel so cozy yet elegant—it’s such a special place.
★★★★★Alla GozikerI cannot recommend Sue at Almost Famous highly enough. She has taught my son for years, successfully transitioning him from playing by ear to reading music fluently. Her patience and incredibly inclusive approach are unmatched, and she is wonderful at tailoring her lessons to the student's personal interests. Beyond piano, her summer theatre program is a fantastic experience for kids. My daughter attended the camp when she was younger. The Kirkland location is great, easy to access, and has plenty of parking. Sue is a truly talented and dedicated educator and we’re lucky to have her in our lives.
★★★★★jinwei zhangMy son is learning piano here with Miss Sue. She is a very patient and experienced teacher. Sometimes boys can be a little playful and have trouble sitting still, but she often shares helpful strategies with me to improve his focus. He really enjoys learning here. It’s a wonderful place!
★★★★★Kim-Quyen NguyenThis space is such a gem in the community. In addition to housing Seattle Community Theater, it welcomes everyone to rehearse in a beautiful, inspiring environment. Almost Famous offers a wide range of lessons—from piano, flute, and voice—as well as music therapy, making it truly inclusive for people of all backgrounds and skill levels. What really stands out is the vibe: warm, inviting, and full of genuine care. The team creates a supportive and inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels seen and encouraged, and the music therapy room is such a cozy space—filled with Squishmallows!!! Perfect for relaxation, creativity, and healing.
★★★★★Honey MapleMy kids have been seeing Sue for years and she is a fabulous teacher and business owner! I’m so happy she is running Almost Famous! The space is beautiful!
