Lesson Details

I consider myself a laid back teacher. I want the student to have fun but at the same time learn the instrument well. I have a fair balance of practicing and learning core curriculum while also taking the students preferences into consideration.

About

Hello! My name is Kiersten N, MT-BC. I am a board certified music therapist and I love teaching all ages the joy of music! I graduated from the University of Dayton with a Bachelors degree in Music Therapy. I finished my internship in Columbus, Ohio where I worked full time with children with autism. I am now back in my hometown of Cincinnati with my soon to be husband ready to teach!
At the University of Dayton, I performed with numerous groups from varying genres. My favorite genre to teach ... is jazz but my students are exposed to all sorts of genres. I also received many awards from the University of Dayton for my performances and contributions to the music department.
I have experience teaching clarinet and guitar while I was a student and teaching piano to children with autism during my internship. I look forward to working with you and helping you discover the wonderful world of music!
