About Kaitlyn

I began playing piano 6 years ago. Quickly I picked up my own sense of style and found my skill. I learned from one of the best teachers and believe that she has made me the pianist I am today! As a teacher, I believe I stand out because of my ability to connect to my student and listen to their wishes and capabilities. Not only do I try my best to teach someone how to play, I also believe strongly in teaching someone how to love piano and find their own passion for it. In general, I am a very flexible person too. Anywhere from coming to my house for lessons, going to the students, or listening to my student’s requests like type of music, I try to listen to them.

I began teaching just last year. The main reason is I believe I’ve gotten to a point where I need to take the next step. To me, the best thing I could do is share my experience and passion with other people.

I myself am a high school student, so I don’t have any official certifications in piano. However, I have been playing for six years and have gotten to a place where I am teaching myself musical compositions and starting to even compose my own. In a sense of music theory and history, I try to teach myself in the time I have to expand my comprehension of music.

About the lesson

Generally, I enjoy working with beginners. So when I meet my student for the first time, I believe the most important thing is getting to know them first. I want to make sure that they feel comfortable with me and that they understand my process. First, I will see what the student knows about piano. Whether or not they know a little bit or don’t even know where to begin allows me to create a lesson plan. For beginners I use very popular lesson books that I myself and many others began with and branch my own teachings from that. From there, I base our lessons off of how the student is progressing and where they’re at.

Preferably, I like to work with beginners. Being a younger teacher myself, I think that gives me the ability to connect with young students.

One thing I would advise is to make a wise decision. A lot of piano teachers are very skillful, however choosing a teacher with the best rating or certifications isn’t always the best option. I learned this with my piano teacher. She wasn’t that big nor was she very expensive, but I was able to connect to her and learn at a very proficient rate. In fact, once we had gotten through one level of the books we were on, I told her I was ready for the big guns. Being the person she is, she listened and we began Für Elise. This is key because I believe being a teacher is also about listening to your students and believing in them.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
An important question to ask yourself is what are you capable of. I know that a lot of students are either being pressured by parents or are expecting too much out of lessons. As a teacher, I try my best to teach a student, however it’s important to know what you can handle. Some people are fast learners and pick up on things, but some take time to learn things and that’s okay.
