Hi I am Kristen and I am a classically trained singer and pianist! I received my Bachelors in music performance from Western Washington University and received my Masters in music performance from University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Since then I have been teaching private voice and piano and performing locally. I have extensive performance experience in several different musical genres including musical theatre, opera, ragtime, contemporary, jazz, operetta etc.
I believe it is essential for music lessons to include music theory and music notation. Having a good understanding of what everything on the page means will only make it easier as you move forward.
Music has the power to bring an abundance of joy and fulfillment to one's life and it certainly has done that for mine. I consider it an honor to teach music and all that it entails. It is so rewarding to watch my students constantly overcome obstacles and choose to keep coming back week after week.
I also hold a yearly recital and occasional masterclasses to receive more performance experience. I look forward to joining and supporting you on your musical journey!
The music related class I teach include Opera through story telling, beginning-advanced piano, reading music, singing, auditioning 101, ear training, music notation, harmonizing, and ukulele! I can honestly say that music has changed my life completely. Without it, my life would not be the same. I am so lucky to be where I am today because of the incredible teachers that helped me and that’s exactly what I want to do for you! I am so excited to see you in class!Reviews
