Kristen has worked in a teaching capacity in Wisconsin, California, and Washington, including teaching at the Keyboard Art School of Music in Wrightwood, CA. She was also a member of the Music Teachers’ Association of California while running her own home studio in San Diego. Kristen has been a clinician for multiple schools, helping students with both classical and jazz music. Kristen stands out as an instructor with her engaging and adaptable teaching. Her approach to lessons centers on the understanding of different learning styles—no two people are exactly the same, so no two lessons should be exactly the same. Her time working with individuals with developmental disabilities at Community Living Connections cultivated her talent for teaching private lessons. She enhanced these emotional intelligence skills with mental health first aid classes. As a result Kristen creates a welcoming environment where students feel at ease. Here in West Seattle Kristen also teaches at Mode Music Studios and Mode Music and Performing Arts, including leading the Tiny Modes class of 0-4 year old students.
