Katharine Corbin Piano And Organ Lessons
About
Serving and teaching at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Lakeland, Florida, we enjoy a traditional approach to classical piano playing and with a focus on hymn playing. Our goal is to make beautiful music at the piano, for God's glory and our best good.
I love unlocking the joys of piano music with the student, and seeing progress from week to week. There is an informational brochure that we can review at our first interview. A current member of RMTA and AGO, I have college degrees and certifications. I have taught piano for decades with many of my students now serving in church music or schools.
