Kathryn Teale - Piano Department Lead

Started at PRYA in 2013

Kathryn Teale comes to Paso Robles Youth Arts Center with something pretty simple - a deep love of music and a passion for sharing it with others. Her goal is to teach her students a strong foundation of truly understanding music through music theory and reading music, but also to empower them to create their own music and discover their own passion and joy for piano. She believes strongly in developing the artistic spirit when learning music, "It's never just about the notes on the page, but how we bring them to life and tell a story." Kathryn has seen first-hand the effect music has in the lives of her students. It is these experiences which motivates her to use creative approaches to teach her students as a class, while also ensuring each student is learning to the best of their ability.
