LESSONS I PROVIDE

Making Learning Fun

Success in learning often hinges on finding the right Music Teacher—someone who not only knows the subject well but also knows how to inspire others. My teaching style emphasizes skills training, self-exploration, and discovering a passion for something new. I keep it fun for the kids by rewarding their efforts with stickers and prizes, making the learning experience enjoyable and engaging. At the end of each lesson, we celebrate our progress with a drum jam that the students absolutely love! Take a look at the lessons I provide and choose the perfect one for you or your child.

PIANO LESSONS

I know how difficult it can be to find a reliable teacher that focuses on Piano Lessons. Teachers need to be able to motivate and guide students towards success. As an experienced and passionate Music Teacher, I believe in an approach that gives students positive, constructive ways to learn all while keeping learning FUN!  I design my lessons according to my students’ needs, with an emphasis on confidence-boosting activities.  Students will get to learn and play on a Yamaha Grand Piano!

UKULELE LESSONS

I specialize in Ukulele & Banjolele Lessons.  That's right, I also play and teach the banjo-uke!  For a young child, playing and learning the ukulele can be loads of fun.  It's a nice intro to the guitar since it's easier to play and not as hard on the fingers.  We can start your child as early as pre-school on the ukulele.

VOICE LESSONS

I specialize in Voice Lessons, and know how to reach my students with the right balance of personalized attention, patience, practical training, and positive encouragement. I make learning fun through a variety of engaging and outside-the-box activities.

Growing up, the flute was one of my first loved instruments. I can help you with breath control and getting that beautiful tonal quality with your instrument, all the while reading music. Dust off that flute in your closet your grandpa handed down to you and schedule a lesson today.

Welcome to Ms. Kristen's Acting Program! Here, I nurture your or your child's passion for the performing arts.

TESTIMONIALS

IMG_1260.JPG

Kristen is absolutely one of the best teachers I've ever had.  She was a referral from a fellow musician friend.  I'm a singer/songwriter and have been going to Kristen for some ore formal piano training.  One of her strengths I think is really catering to your skill set and identifying the gaps in your training.  We have been focusing in on those weaknesses to turn them into strengths!  I have definitely seen a dramatic improvement since coming to Kristen!

​

She is great at scheduling and communication, and an insanely talented musician herself. I am in awe of her versatility from being able to teach children, all the way up to students in their golden years.  She creates a safe and welcoming space for any student at any age and skill set. 

​

I wouldn't be the player I am without her.  So happy to be taking lessons with Kristen!

Have you ever picked up a ukulele or guitar and started strumming?  You played like a "rock star" and wished you could actually play and sing something awesome?  Well--Lucky for me, I was referred to Kristen and I haven't looked back!  I had started learning to play the ukulele with her in July 2019 and now I can play many songs with confidence and a little bit of sauciness!  Kristen makes learning ukulele so much fun!  She is a wonderful teacher and knows how to differentiate instruction even when teaching in a small group.  If music makes your soul sing and you've been thinking about learning a new instrument--call her!

Kristen is a fantastic music instructor.  I have seen her teach children as young as 5 and adults who have never picked up an instrument before.  She has been my teacher now for over a year and I have seen myself picking up my guitar and ukulele for fun, in my classroom singing with my students, and with my nieces and nephews.  Thank you, Kristen for all that you have taught me so far and for all that you will teach me in the future.

Taking Ukulele and guitar lessons with Kristen is a fun and highly engaging experience.  She is a wonderful Music Teacher who accommodates lessons to the needs of each individual student. Miss Kristen is highly experienced in teaching Music to children and adults.  I am a Kindergarten Teacher attending her weekly uke and guitar class.  Everything I learn in her class I take to my classroom and teach it to my students.  I highly recommend her Music Lessons, whether you are an advanced student of Music or a beginner like me.
