About Katie:
Katie is a professional musician and teacher residing in Olathe, KS. She studied music at Kansas State University, where she received a Graduate Certificate in Music Education in 2019, and Baker University, where she received a Bachelor's Degree in 2016. Katie believes that the best approach is a positive, encouraging one, based both on solid developmental principles, a willingness
to go at a student's own pace, and an effort to never lose the joy of making music. Katie regularly plays professionally for churches, high schools, and local theaters around town. Current Rates:
Weddings (Including personal consultation, rehearsal, 30-minute prelude and ceremony): $250
All other performances and engagements: $100 an hour
***Studio Lessons Rates, Philosophy and Cancellation Policy: PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLING***
Piano lessons: $20 a lesson. Lessons are aimed at making music fun, while encouraging a "base" of knowledge that will help students excel, no matter which instrument they choose to pursue most avidly. Students should be able to read and write their letters consistently, and have the attention span to sit through a 30-minute lesson before they enroll with Katie's Piano Studio. Cancellations: It is to be expected that schedules will occasionally conflict. From time to time I have an event in the evening which will warrant lessons being cancelled, or may contract an illness. Cancellations on the studio end will always be posted on Facebook, and you will be notified via text or Facebook message. Cancellations on my end are always free of charge. If you cannot make your scheduled lesson, please let the studio know as soon as possible. There may be another student who wished to reschedule and I can use that time slot. Of course, I understand that students and parents get ill and advanced notice is not always possible. However, no-show lessons without notice will be charged the full amount of the lesson fee, and consistent no-shows will result in termination of service.
