Private Lessons with Ms Katie
Ms Katie
Ms. Katie has been teaching piano, ukulele, and percussion for the last 10 years
throughout the Delaware Valley. Katie studied piano under Professor Ellen Youssefian of
Temple University in Philadelphia and holds a B.A in Music from The Sunderman Conservatory
at Gettysburg College in Gettysburg Pennsylvania. Katie has had the privilege of teaching
students from the ages of 2-75 years old throughout her career! One of her core teaching beliefs is that you are never too old to learn an instrument and whether your goal is to learn Beethoven or to play Happy Birthday at your next family gathering you will be able to get there!
For students that are new to their instrument Katie’s teaching focuses heavily on
developing proper technique and learning how to read music in the beginning stages of study so
students develop that core foundation that will be able to take them further into their piano
studies or help them transition to any other instrument they may want to try in the future! For
intermediate to advanced students lessons will focus on achieving individualized goals which
can include anything from music school audition prep to performance coaching. Along with
teaching Katie has enjoyed an active performing career working with local choirs, orchestras,
and bands throughout the area. She is thrilled to be able to offer lessons with West Chester
Music Academy!
