LESSONS

Having worked in the public schools at the elementary, middle, and high school level and in the piano studio with school-aged through adult students, Karen Rock has gained experience with many different types of students and their learning styles. She understands the delicate balance between auditory and visual learning and encourages students to use all of their senses as they process new music. Karen is able to cater to each student’s needs and will customize a curriculum to suit each student's goals.

Piano lessons are offered for students aged six and up. Materials used for lessons will vary depending on student age, interest, and prior experience. Karen uses a variety of supplemental materials to help students experience music in multiple ways. Students are encouraged to explore many styles of playing as well as compose and improvise new music.

Vocal coaching is offered to students aged twelve and up. Vocal coaching sessions can be tailored specifically to the student's needs and goals as a vocalist. Through her work as a choral director in the public schools, Karen has gained experience helping students prepare for CMEA Regional and All-State auditions, musical theater auditions, and more. She has experience singing and teaching many styles of vocal music.
