About Kathy
I love teaching piano lessons and watching students grow musically. Did you know that playing an instrument makes you smarter? I have a music degree from Augustana University in Sioux Falls, SD. Since then I have had two careers, piano teaching and computer programming. Currently, I am back at my first love, teaching. I have over 20 years experience working with children and adults. Almost any of the traditional methods of lesson books are fine, but my favorites are Alfred Premier Piano and Faber’s Piano Adventures. I like to add a 'fun' book. You will learn to play with relaxed arms, as l like to stress proper technique. And if you want to, we can experiment with composing! Visit my website. (concealed information) website
I enjoy showing students how to play with expression and feeling. I like to praise whenever possible, to let students know that they are improving.
When I was 5, I started lessons. By the time I got to Jr. High, I was studying advanced classical music. I began teaching my cousins. In college I studied piano pedagogy and taught a few students. After college I taught piano lessons at a small private school.
I have a bachelor's degree in music from Augustana University. At Augustana there was a well-known, wonderful piano instructor, J. Earl Lee. I studied with him for 8 years. Currently I am a member of a group of piano teachers who are learning how to be better online teachers.

For a new beginner, I teach them to play a song by rote using the black keys. This particular song sounds like a Native American piece. It's quite impressive since it is played with 2 hands.
My students have been ages 3 to 93. The 3-year-old was my daughter, who could play a little by ear. She grew up to receive 1st and 2nd places in SDMTA contests in high school. The 93-year-old is my mom! We have lessons over Zoom, and she is doing great using the Adult Piano Adventures series by Faber. Most of my students have been school-age kids, some very talented and some with learning disabilities.

Excellent! Very understanding about where I am in learning. Also flexible with my schedule.
Perfect! Kathy assessed my level as it has been 44 years since my last lesson and selected the perfect book series that I love. So excited to learn from her!

My son has learned so much and makes it look easy. He is 8 years old and he adores Kathy and her guidance! She is a great teacher and her piano in her cozy home is amazing. We are thankful she invites us in for him to learn in her home.
She handles my active son very well. She doesn’t get frustrated when his attention is shot for the day. She uses the books I suggested and at my request signed him up for the piano festival. She actually teaches and doesn’t just go over his assignment for the week. He really enjoys his lessons and is learning to love music!
