About
Hi! I am Kyla Gabka, and I teach ONLINE voice, piano, violin, viola, music theory, sight-singing lessons! I do not offer in-person lessons at this time, and I do not offer growling/screaming in my voice lessons. At this time I only have morning/early afternoon availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Only reach out if you have any availability within those time frames. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have been studying the performing arts since I was four years old. I am a singer, pianist, violinist, and actress, and I currently offer private virtual violin, viola, piano, and voice lessons. I have a BA in Music and BA in Musical Theatre from Columbia College Chicago. I have had so many wonderful opportunities to share the knowledge that I have gained throughout my time as a performing artist. I am a signed artist with Boosted Entertainment, and I am a Producer for the group Musicality, semi-finalists on AGT season 11. Not only do I assist in creating and directing music videos and original music for the group, but I also get to perform at incredible events and venues with them: UNICEF Won't Stop (with Jordin Sparks), Lollapalooza, KultureBall 2019 with Marc Martel, the Rosemont Theatre, TEDx with Ari Afsar and Miguel Cervantes (Chi-Hamilton Stars), and McDonald’s WWC (opening for Imagine Dragons, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, and Bruno Mars). I have been in numerous music videos with the group and have led recording sessions. A few videos I have worked on ("This Is Me" and "From Now On") have even gained several million views! I have had the honor to star in the film "First String" as Rebecca Carlisle, and I am reprising my role in the sequel. I have had so many wondrous opportunities to share my craft with others, and I am enthusiastic about sharing even more through teaching and performing. Discounts: - For every new student you refer to me, I will offer you 2 free music lessons as a thank you after they complete 4 lessons (this offer is valid once per every new student)!

Kyla has been absolutely wonderful with my two boys (9 and 10). She brings a rare combination of patience, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm for their progress, which has made such a meaningful impact on their experience. Her lessons are incredibly well-structured and thoughtful, and she has a natural ability to meet each child where they are (even with very inquisitive learners). She takes the time to answer their questions in a way that keeps them engaged while continuing to build strong foundational skills. What stands out most is that my boys truly look forward to every lesson and take pride in what they’re learning. Their confidence and progress have been remarkable. We feel very fortunate to be working with her.

Kyla has been a great teacher for our daughter. She is patient, structured, well-organized, and methodical, and she is very warm and friendly with her students. Our daughter looks forward to her lesson every week, and enjoys showing us what she learned. I would happily recommend Kyla for anyone else!

Kyla was kind enough to conduct a trial lesson as my girls worked to figure out if they wanted to do lessons in person or virtually. Although in the end we chose to complete our lessons in person, it wasn’t an easy decision. Kyla was very helpful and professional, the girls really enjoyed their time with her and weighed the pros and cons of virtual vs in person before making their decision. Thank you, Kyla! If we ever need to reconsider virtual again, we will definitely be reaching out again!
