Join me for piano lessons and have tons of fun learning a new skill while enriching your life with music. I've been teaching piano for 13 years, teaching beginners through advanced. I give weekly 30-minute lessons to children in grades 1 through 12, and adults.
We have fun while learning about music, and learning how to play the piano. My goal is to instill a love of music in each and every student, and an ability to play the music they want.

Ms. Van Etten has taught my 3 kids since they were small. Now, my 21 yr. old can read any music, with ease; my 18 yr. old will "jam" original music to fit his mood, and my 15 yr. old plays favorite pieces from memory at will. Along with the basics of music and meter, Kathy imparts a sense of self-worth to her students that helps them face new challenges with confidence. My family has been greatly blessed by her love of music and her love of children. Thank you, Kathy, you are awesome!

Kathy has been teaching my 2 kids for 5 years now. The kids love her- she makes piano fun. They look forward to every week and especially the wonderful recitals. I would not go anywhere else!

Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Ask questions, like: What is your teaching style? What are your goals for your students? If the teacher has a style of teaching and goals that seem to be compatible with you (or your child), then this is the right teacher for you (or your child). Ask what the curriculum is. If it does not include lesson, theory, popular music, classical music, and technical music (in other words, a variety of styles), it may become boring for the student.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. When do I help my child when she/he is practicing? (it depends on how young the child is and how well the child does things on his/her own.) When do I let my child do it her/himself? (Same as first question's answer.) Do I make my child stick with the lessons for the rest of the year? (Yes! Don't start music lessons unless you and the child are committed to at least one year—two years would be better.) Or quit if the child stops practicing? (Please inform the teacher so the teacher can try to figure out why the child isn't practicing; don't quit! this gives the wrong impression to the child about music lessons.)
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. How many years has the teacher been giving lessons? What style does the teacher use to teach? What curriculum does the teacher use? What is a typical lesson like? Are lessons given in the teacher's home or in the student's home? What does the teacher say or do if the student reports he/she didn't practice? Does the teacher charge for the lesson even when the student is sick?
