* Mollie is the epitome of a hard-working and caring mother-like figure in the community. She has an amazing heart and cares deeply about helping others. I would recommend her to anybody due to her compassion and dedication to making a change. ~ Apollo

* Regarding Mollie, the only thing that might surpass her (genius) ability as a pianist and interpretive musician is her care, consideration and love she has for the young people who intuitively surround her ~ Sparky

*I have known Mollie Kidari all her life. She was begging for piano lessons at age 3. At age 5 she gave a piano recital with no other participants. Music was born in her and she has made the most of her talents. Not only can she play extremely well, but she is a patient, helpful teacher. She started teaching piano lessons at the age of 12. The Arts area has always been, and remains a favorite passion to pursue ~ Flora Davis

*As a friend, collaborator, and colleague of Mollie Kidari for over 15 years, I have witnessed her create with passion, and teach with compassion, with hundreds of youth of all ages. She is one of the most gifted pianists and sound designers I’ve ever known, she is visionary, and exemplifies the term ‘creative artist’. Mollie has made a life of bringing music, cooperation, kindness, and enlightenment to everything she does. ~ Sue Tucker Hazard, Theater educator, involved in youth and musical theatre in the Valley since 1994

* Having had the pleasure of performing with Ms. Kidari numerous times, I am struck by her excellent musicianship and her abilty to inspire the other members of my band to do the one thing that any performing musician has to do SMILE! She's always got a wonderful positive smile on her beautiful face that audience members remember long after the music has stopped. Mollie knows what to do on-stage to encourage audience members to join in with the joy of the music being presented. I am happy to know Mollie and look forward to hearing and performing with her in the future. ~ James Bailey, Loose Cannon Band

* To whom it may concern, I have worked with Mollie on many occasions - performing and recording music. She's a tremendously skilled musician. Her knowledge of how music works and quick ear make rehearsing a breeze. Her command of styles and feels allows all the other musicians to be comfortable - whatever their bag is. She also has an ability to touch a song with interesting and fun parts. And if you're not afraid to get your feelings hurt - she might lay some of that scale 'dexterity' on you! - Jason Pike
