Koncertní pianista a bývalá fakulta Curtis Institute of Music vyučuje hru na klavír a hudební historii z jedinečné perspektivy!

I had piano instruction as a child and enjoyed playing the piano but a career and family kept me busy and I set it aside. Now I am retired and needed help to re-enter this world of music.
Unfortunately, I live in a small rural area with not much choice for teachers. After two unsuccessful attempts at private piano instruction, I was frustrated and discouraged. I decided to look online for a teacher.
Katelyn was different - she listened and knew what I needed to grow in musical skills and enjoy playing the piano again. Katelyn was able to plan and implement a comprehensive program so I am enjoying music and learning the skills that I need to enjoy music as an adult.
I have no words to express the joy I now experience each time I play. -Elaine B.

When I was in college, a much respected pianist filled in for my usual professor, a Tchaikovsky medalist filled with a great deal of pianistic fire and very little knowledge about pedagogy.  At the end of our first lesson he said, “Oh, you’re the one who asks ‘why’.  Your teacher warned me.”  I asked “But isn’t that a good thing?” and he said “That wasn’t my impression.”  Katelyn on the other hand, is the perfect teacher for people who want to know not only what to do, but why (including detailed explanations for the instruments and teaching practices of any given era or composer) and how (providing specific exercises to actually accomplish it). Our discussions of learning processes haven’t just improved my approach to practicing but has also carried over somewhat into my own teaching as a writing instruction.  The lessons have always given me something to look forward to. 

Katelyn is an amazing teacher! Her modern creative techniques have helped me greatly on practice & learning the music much more effectively than the traditional piano lessons!
