About Karen
I’m a piano tutor with over 8 years of experience and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Collaborative Piano and Chamber Music. I specialize in helping students arrange pop songs, explore modern chord voicings, and play confidently by ear. My lessons are always tailored to your interests, skill level, and goals. Whether you're just starting out or working toward mastery, I create a clear and encouraging path forward. I love showing students how to break down popular music and make it their own. From learning your favorite songs to understanding the patterns behind them, we focus on practical, creative skills. I’ve taught students of all ages across styles like pop, rock, R\&B, and contemporary worship. My teaching style is supportive, engaging, and always flexible. We’ll explore rhythm, voicing, arranging, and improvisation in ways that feel natural and inspiring. Each session is hands-on and built to spark progress. If you’re ready to unlock your musical voice and explore the joy of popular piano, I’m here to guide you. Let’s start learning together and make your musical journey something you truly enjoy.

My piano teaching approach is modern, practical, and designed to help you play the music you love. I focus on pop piano techniques, playing by ear, and arranging contemporary songs with style. Students learn how to break down their favorite tracks and rebuild them using creative chord voicings and simple patterns.
We work on listening skills, rhythm feel, and how to recognize progressions by sound and shape. Each lesson is hands-on and filled with real music you can enjoy right away. I show students how to play confidently without always needing sheet music.
I'm especially good with The Hobbyist Adult and The Pop Player—those who want to sound great playing chart hits or classics at home, with friends, or even on stage. My method encourages curiosity, creativity, and practical progress.
Together, we’ll explore how pop music is built and how to make it your own. I’ll help you understand the "why" behind the notes so you can play with more freedom. You’ll gain the skills to arrange and perform pop songs with ease. Let’s unlock the secrets of pop piano and have fun doing it.
