"Valerie is a fantastic piano teacher, performer, and person! As a fellow teacher, I have heard and judged her students. They are always well-prepared, technically strong, and musically sensitive! But most importantly, Valerie cares about her students as people, striving to impart to them a love for music that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for an exceptional teacher, I highly recommend her!"

"Valerie has been a musical colleague of mine for the past 15 years. Her students play with amazing technique and strong musical understanding. She instills a solid foundation of music theory and provides many performance opportunities for them. She has outstanding pianos and a fabulous recital space in her own home. She is a kind person with high expectations and standards. I highly recommend her as a teacher. If she has an opening, take advantage of the opportunity to study with her!"

"Valerie Mishek is a remarkable piano teacher! She shares her amazing talent as a concert pianist with abundant generosity, patience, inspiration, humor and tenderness. Listening and watching her students play-from the youngest beginner to the most accomplished-whether it be in the intimate setting of her home studio/performance space or in a formal theatre during competition, the common thread is confidence, musicianship and joy! Valerie instills the love of music in her students. What a gift!"

"Valerie is an excellent piano teacher who teaches in the southwest Denver area. Helping students to develop a lifelong love of piano and music is her teaching philosophy. She teaches students of all ages. We love the way she teaches our son, emphasizing detail and technique. Not only does she help her students build solid fundamental techniques, but also teaches them music theory and listening skills. She encourages students to participate in various competitions at appropriate levels and national guild events each year. She arranges occasional group lessons to help students learn from each other. She is excellent in teaching and dealing with the younger students. Her way of balancing patience and discipline is perfect for our son. We highly recommend her to families who want to help their children to learn and enjoy playing piano."

"Valerie has been the piano teachers for our two children for the last 7 years. She is an accomplished pianist who strives to bring out the best in her students. She is kind, patient, encouraging, and our two children have learnt a lot from her, maturing into young pianists who are a joy to listen to! Valerie has helped our children develop a strong foundation in their musicianship. We are grateful to her for this lifelong skill that our children now possess!"
