About
My name is Karsten, and my teaching philosophy is infused with a desire to empower, encourage, and enlighten my students to enjoy the essence of music.
I tailor each learning experience to match individual needs so that students may attain independence in their musical journeys. My Music Therapy background has taught me everyone is unique, and I believe in working to each students’ strengths and interests in order to facilitate lessons tailored to their unique style of learning. As students unlock their musical potential, the bonding aspect of music kicks in to foster enjoyment and healthy relationships with others, which flows positively over to various areas in their respective lives.
With 15+ years of piano teaching experience and certifications in Orff Schulwerk & Kodály, I offer personalised, play-based lessons that inspire musical independence, creative expression, and confidence- especially in young children/ teenagers to become independent musicians.
I believe music can :
•Builds independence and artistic resilience.
•Fosters social confidence and relational skills.
•Positively influences other areas of life through shared creativity.
As students grow musically, they also grow in self-awareness, discipline- reflecting the transformational power of music in meaningful, everyday ways.
