With over 20 years of experience, Kathryn Brickell can accommodate any student. One of her greatest strengths is in developing a friendly yet productive student-teacher relationship. Her breadth of experience is all encompassing and includes experience and success in teaching ages four thru adult.

Kathryn prides herself in her ability to develop individual programs for each and every student. Method books are not necessarily used unless they are deemed appropriate. More often than not, note-reading is taught through exercises written in the student's notebook so that each exercise perfectly fits the student's needs.

Programs of study include technique, sight-reading, and both classical and/or familiar music. Music is adapted to the exact level of the student.

Kathryn is very aware of the psychology behind teaching and utilizes her knowledge in that area to achieve high results. It is her belief that lessons should be enjoyable!

Kathryn is a graduate of SUNY Old Westbury and SUNY Stony Brook with a major in music. She studied the following subjects in depth: piano, classical guitar, music theory, history, and composition.

Lessons are available in the student's home in all of Nassau County and Eastern Queens.
