"Hello! My name is Kyrie (bet it's not pronounced the way you think!), and I've been teaching music to students of all ages for almost twenty years. Currently, I spend most of my time working with different nonprofits in my community, but I'm also here to help you with anything you need as well!

It's so vital that students realize their capacity and ability to achieve something they thought they wouldn't be able to do. Every time a student accomplishes something, they believe in themselves a little more, and they then gain the confidence to push themselves forward and try new things. Developing this confidence is incredibly important, particularly at younger ages, and it's my goal to help every student I teach get to that point!

I have been playing piano for over twenty years and violin for eighteen, and I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Music Composition from UNC School of the Arts and a Master's degree in Music Business from Berklee College of Music. In addition to tutoring or teaching privately, I've also tutored and taught students in both small group and classroom settings!

A few fun facts about me: My graduate degree program was based in Spain, so I ended up learning a good bit of Spanish while I was abroad! I can also speak French, and I've tutored students in both!

There's a prevalent, though incorrect assumption that all musicians have to begin as child prodigies, or need to start learning music before a certain age to succeed. In reality, it's never too late to start learning; I’ve worked with beginner students of all ages: children, seniors, and everyone in between! Prodigy or not, there’s room for all of us in the music world!" less...
