About

I TRULY enjoy both my students and music. I am not what most would call a "musical personality." Although striving for perfection and doing ones best is something I want to instill in my students, it is more important to me that each student learns enjoy and appreciate music and what it can do for them personally and spiritually. I strive to make music as much a pleasure for them as it is for me. Music is my release; it feeds my soul. I want my students to experience that. I love when a student begins to show a passion and love for the music they create as well as the friendship and laughter I share with each one.

I played piano for several years when I was young and took a hiatus for ten years or more, forgetting much of what I once knew. Niki has been a patient, knowledgable, and encouraging teacher to me the past 6 months and was quickly able to refamiliarize me and expand upon previous piano knowledge/skill, aiding in my ability to swiftly surpass my earlier level. She inspires her students to choose songs that interest them while also introducing theory so as to progress consistently to new curriculum and skill sets. She is able to read the needs of her students well, carefully noting when to slow down and take additional time on a unit, and when to speed up or continue to new information. I look forward to our hour together each week and am consistently amazed by how sweet and well-behaved her children are!

Mrs. Knowlton gives lessons to 2 of our children, and we are very pleased! She is very knowledgable and has a very good rapport with them. Our eleven year old daughter was quickly losing interest and lacked motivation for learning the piano with our previous piano teacher. Since the transition to Mrs. Knowlton, she is enjoying piano again and feels encouraged to continue learning! Our eight year old son really likes her and is learning more quickly under her instruction. We are happy with their progress and her ability to make learning fun again!

Niki has been teaching our son for close to 2 years and does a phenomenal job. She is supportive and encouraging especially when he hasn't practiced like he should. She has taught him how to practice so that he isn't getting discouraged. He has advanced and looks forward to continue gaining knowledge of piano with her!

Niki is my 4-year-old daughter's piano teacher and we have been very pleased with her since we started lessons 6 months ago. Niki quickly evaluated Jocelyn's abilities and was able to find the appropriate materials for her. She is very patient with her during the lessons and has identified areas that need to be specifically addressed as she progresses. We are very pleased with Jocelyn's progress and look forward to learning with Niki for years to come.

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
It came naturally. My family was very musical and we sang every day. I began piano lessons at four years old and joined every choir, band and musical group I could for as long as I can remember. I took a Music Major in college, but switched it to Elementary Education and kept my music minor so I could be more versatile. I've thoroughly enjoyed being a part of school environments and teaching music there, but I also love doing private lessons and getting to know my students on a deeper level.
