Kimber Stonehouse

After several years of asking her parents to learn the piano, Kimber finally started lessons at 9 years old. Kimber has loved making music & playing piano ever since. At 12 years old, she began playing in church and accompanying choir at my Junior High School. she continued to accompany vocal music & began teaching piano at 18. 

Kimber is a fan of nearly every type of music, & she loves opening the world of piano for tomorrow's performers. She teaches a structured curriculum with fun, laughter, technique, music theory, and a wide variety of music. Kimber studied Piano Performance at a small, private college in Illinois and continued my studies at the graduate level in Music Theory at Arizona State University. 

At Arizona State, she had the opportunity to study early music performance and harpsichord with excellent instructors and performers--they focused on J.S. Bach, Rameau, and many other composers from the Baroque Era (1685 - 1750.)

One of her favorite things to teach during lessons is the piano works from great composers: Bartok, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. Together, student & teacher, they select the piece or pieces they want to discover, then the challenge begins. Kimber and her students explore original pieces these composers wrote for their students, and it's not limited to intermediate or advanced students; students with less than a year of lessons may begin working on these fun pieces. Come explore the piano with her!  Kimber's Favorites List
