Kristin Agner, PianoCat Studio
About
Greetings! I have been teaching piano in the Kenosha, WI area for over 25 years and I LOVE my job!! I have studied piano for many years and still enjoy expanding my knowledge through professional development.
I fully enjoy teaching students of every age... young children, teens and adults!! Mastering any instrument always comes with challenges and I will guide you every step of the way while still having FUN!
I specialize at teaching my students how to read and interpret music. My goal for every student is to help them reach their full potential while making music every step of the way...
My piano studio is in my home which is conveniently located one mile east of I-94 near Highway E.
Lessons are scheduled on weekday afternoons into early evenings as openings become available.

My 4 kids have been attending lessons with Kristin for over 15 years.
She’s amazing and tailors her approach especially with different genres to keep the kids engaged.

Kristin is a very talented pianist and teacher. She has really helped me grow both in confidence and skill. As an adult student who took lessons as a child then tried to relearn to play the piano on my own I had gaps in my learning. She has identified those gaps and with her help and encouragement the gaps continue to get smaller! While working on my skills Kristin continues to place focus on the enjoyment of playing the piano and music in general! I cannot recommend her more, for anyone looking into piano lessons at any age or level!

Very friendly, and experienced in working with older students.
I feel my progress has been steady without being frustrating.
Kristin is also very accommodating with schedules.
I would recommend her to anyone looking for adult piano instruction.

Everything. She taught all three of our girls from a young age. They all learned so much. Kristin has a sense of humor, a pleasant demeanor and never made it so intense that they didn’t like it. I can’t recommend her enough. In all our years of going to this studio, and we were there many many years, we never had one problem. Nothing. I’m excited that our grandchildren may get to have her as a teacher!!!!!
