About Kristen
I began studying the piano at the age of 6 and the violin at 8. Music was a very important part of my life from childhood and I always had an inner sense that I would be a musician. I was one of those kids who never had to be told to practice. There was never any other path for me, only music!
I studied with Jerri Lee Owen at Biola University with a major in piano performance. While there, I played the viola in the orchestra and sang with the Biola Chorale. There, I also accompanied a men’s traveling singing group which was loads of fun as we sang at churches in the Los Angeles area and toured the coast of Oregon. My life at Biola was immersed in music, with 30 hours per week spent in rehearsal alone. I loved every minute.
Upon graduation from Biola, I returned home to San Jose and began teaching piano. I soon learned of the Suzuki Method and was immediately hooked. I completed my teacher training at Holy Names College (Oakland, CA), Southern CA Suzuki Institute, and the Colorado Suzuki Institute at Snowmass, CO. My most influential teachers were Rita Hauck and Caroline Frazer.
After a few years teaching under my belt, I felt the itch to go back and get my Master's Degree. I studied with Dr. Laurel Brettell at San Jose State University with a major in piano performance. I graduated, pregnant, and then welcomed our first daughter into the world a few months later.
I have been teaching Suzuki piano since 1993 (with a few years off while having babies) and fully believe in the Suzuki Approach to learning. My philosophy echoes Dr. Suzuki’s: “Where love is present, much can be accomplished.”

My lessons are well-rounded in the classical style. I teach using the Suzuki curriculum as my base, and also add lots of fun supplements according to the students' interests to keep them motivated. I like to tailor my lessons to get to know each student personally.
