Whether you’re brand new to the cello or preparing for advanced auditions, I’m here to help!

My daughter, who has played the cello for 8 years, recently switched to Kaitlin for lessons—and we couldn’t be happier. Kaitlin has been incredibly inspiring: she’s kind, encouraging, and clearly passionate about both music and teaching. My daughter comes home excited to practice and more confident each week. Her tone has noticeably improved, and Kaitlin has helped her understand the practical steps she can take now to work toward a future career in music. We’re so grateful to have found Kaitlin!

Kaitlin was such a dream to work with we were honored to have her prepare with my son in for his college cello auditions. She not only knew how to professionally prepare but was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the process. She knew how to highlight his strengths and help improve his weaknesses.

Thrive Music Studio is an excellent option for finding a teacher for young and old alike! The professionalism and organization of the entire staff makes it so easy to find teachers, organize lessons, and participate in masterclasses and group classes. They are all so talented and you won’t find anything quite like it in Utah.

Thrive is such an awesome place to take lessons. Weve been here for just over 6 months now and it is so organized, friendly, and professional. My daughter loves all of the fun group classes and events they do.

Thrive has been awesome for my kids! I am really impressed with the progress they have made in such a short period of time. Not only with learning their instruments, but also gaining a general understanding of music theory and history!
The master classes and group classes are a great way for them to connect with other students and learn about various topics not usually discussed in your typical music lessons.
I couldn’t be happier with our experience at Thrive!
