Piano with Catrina N.

Hi, there! My name is Catrina and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2001, when I was just 13, and have loved helping my students learn to love practicing, participate in friendly contests and competition within the studio, and develop the proper technique to set the groundwork for a lifetime of enjoyment playing the piano. I studied with well-known Carmel teacher Irina Gorin, who taught me (and continues to teach me) how to be a teacher that students are comfortable with and enjoy coming to for lessons. I'm a bit silly and a fun person and my teaching style is typically very laid back and fun while still providing students with a solid, professional foundation in classical piano performance. I encourage my students' curiosity and exploration of the piano and use the child's stage of brain development to plan the lessons and use it to the highest advantage. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!
