The Blue House Experience
Lessons take place in Kathleen's home, where Blue House Studio was founded. Students learn in one of our two teaching spaces, each with its own piano. Parents are welcome to relax in the downstairs family room, on the patio, or in the gazebo (weather permitting). Our 5-acre lot provides a peaceful setting. You're also welcome to drop students off—just please be mindful of the time so transitions between students run smoothly.
Most weeks, students are sent off with a homemade cookie—just because!
Students will use the Faber series: Lesson, Technique & Artistry, and Theory books, along with supplemental pieces by engaging composers. We also include exercises and scales to build strong fundamentals. Our teaching focuses on notes, rhythm, technique, vocabulary, creativity, and a variety of musical styles and genres.
Throughout the year, students will have the chance to take part in small studio collaborations with fellow “Blue House Studio” pianists, and the year concludes with a spring recital.
Where are we?
Blue House Studio is tucked right in between Hastings, MN & Cottage Grove, MN - just off of highway 61 on a 5 acre country lot. We are just 5 minutes from Prescott, WI and 15 minutes from Woodbury, MN.
