About Karen
My name is Karen Blackburn, and I have a degree in music education from Cal State University Fullerton. I have been teaching private voice lessons for 30 years, and guitar, piano, drums, clarinet, and flute for over 20 years. I am currently a music teacher in the Rowland Unified School District, and teach privately in the late afternoons, and evenings. My lessons are very performance driven, as I believe it is important.
Karen's Kids, is a children's song and dance performing group made up of kids between the ages of 6 and 14 years old.
Karen's Kids, began as a small group of 12 kids in the summer of 1978. That first group was unbelievably talented, and set the standard for years to come.
Karen's Kids, entertains audiences with their renditions of Pop tunes and Broadway standards throughout Southern California, and even as far away as Las Vegas and Hawaii! Members of Karen‘s Kids have starred in commercials, television (Kids Incorporated), (Star Search), (American Idol), recording (Fergie), and on Broadway. karenskids.org
(concealed information)
I started teaching neighborhood kids how to send when I was only 12 years old. I think I inherited a natural ability to teach from my dad who is also a teacher.
I have a degree in music education from Cal State University Fullerton, and have taken many private lessons myself over the past 45 years.

I begin with an assessment to see where a student needs improvement. I then discuss with the student what his or her goals are. I try to find out why they want to take private lessons and how far they would like go. After we have decided on a plan of action, I give them things to work on and encourage them to practice as much as possible.
I have worked with many types of students. I’ve worked with gifted kids as well as kids could just love music.
I would tell them to ask a lot of questions. It’s important that they understand how the teacher is going to make them become a better performer.
I am proud of the kids that I work with in my group, Karen’s kids. They perform all over Southern California and even on Catalina Island and in Las Vegas at Hawaii.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
The most important thing for the student is to decide what their goals are. Be realistic, but reach for the stars.
