Learn piano with freedom and fun from an experienced teacher with 15+ years experience
Piano/Keyboard lessons for beginners focus on piano basics; learning to read notes, read rhythms, play scales, play basic chords and other tools essential to play any style of music. I focus on the students strength and we build their skills based on that. Whether it be playing by ear or reading sheet music. Both are essential and can be fun when we have a goal in mind and a plan in action!

About Kayla K.

(9)
I am a professional singer, pianist, guitar player, and have vast experience in the recording industry and traveling abroad for music performance. I graduated from Lee University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music, specifically voice, and a Masters in Music, specifically gospel arrangements and church music. I have experience in choral settings, classical, contemporary, gospel, R&B, and pop music.
Voice students can expect to improve week to week in their vocal technique. Every voice has a unique timbre, tone, and skill level. I teach students the proper technique of building strong vocal chords for long-term health, releasing tension build-up, and applying foundational techniques in order to unlock their own individual sound. I can help my students sing with freedom, confidence, passion, and expression. Whether you are preparing for a degree in music at a university or just want to become a better singer, I can help you attain those goals!
I teach piano students of all different ages and experience levels. I studied classical and contemporary piano for 7 years. I can teach students to read music and also play by ear. They can learn and play a variety of genres by using chord sheets, piano sheet music, or both depending on the preference of the student. I also help them gain an understanding of the theory of music so that they can build on their foundational skills and open up a world of creativity!
I teach guitar students of all different ages and experience levels. I have guitar professionally for over 10 years. I can teach students to read music and play by ear. They can learn to pay chord charts, rhythm, jazz, pop, country, contemporary, worship, and some beginner lead. I also help them gain an understanding of the theory of guitar so that they can build on their own foundational skills.
As a professional recording artist, I have recorded and collaborated on 5 albums. Performed alongside well-known musicians, including the President of the United States at the 2012 Presidential Inauguration.
Ministered in Indonesia and Singapore Summer of 2013 with Lee Singers for the Empower 21 International Conference for the COG. Performed in Vatican City in St. Peter’s Basilica/Cathedral in Italy May 2015 with Lee Singers and much more.
My personal passion is contemporary music but I firmly believe that great technique is essential to any and every style. I look forward to meeting you and helping you become a better musician!

I am a professional peer, and fellow guitar instructor. Having known Kayla for the last several years, I have seen how her simple, yet masterfully thorough approach to instruction can excite and entertain students of all ages.
Kayla uses her collegiate level music theory and performance background to educate on a plethora of subjects. However, she clearly communicates beneficial concepts to both children and adults alike.
I highly recommend Kayla both as a peer, and a student. I’ve benefited from her wisdom, and insight throughout the years, and I know you will too.
