Kathlyn — guitar & piano teacher, Frederick, CO
Background & Credentials
Classical piano roots.
A guitarist's heart.
I grew up with two classical pianist parents and started formal piano lessons at age five. I began studying the clarinet around age ten and played for about six years. At age twelve, I pulled my mom's old guitar out of the closet, and I was immediatedly hooked. That moment led me down a path that shaped the rest of my life.
I first began teaching private music lessons at age seventeen and even earned high school credit for it my senior year. I went on to study music at the University of New Mexico before transferring to the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT), Musicians Institute, in Hollywood, California. I also studied multiple summers at the National Guitar Workshop in Claremont, CA.
