Kiersten has been involved in the music world since age 5; however, it wasn’t until her senior year of high school that she began to pursue it as more than just a hobby when she chose to study “the effects of music on people” as her capstone subject. This capstone led her to pursue the field of music therapy.
She graduated from Queens University of Charlotte with a B.A. in Music Therapy and a minor in music and psychology. Throughout her time at Queens she worked with a variety of students and patients, young and old, bringing music to them to encourage, teach, and promote relaxation. Since moving back to Charleston, Kiersten has become a Certified Board Music Therapist (MT-BC). She also has begun to sing on the weekends at her local church and teach her friends how to play different instruments like the piano, guitar, and her favorite, the boom-whackers. Kiersten is so excited to join the SC Music Lessons LLC family and she can’t wait to witness all of the students' growth! |
Kiersten's Teaching Style:
"With my music therapy background, I believe the best place to start is to meet a student where they are and then grow and learn from there. I believe everyone has music capabilities and I want to encourage my students to find their creativity in the music. If a student needs a day to play their feelings on their instrument, we can also incorporate opportunities for self-expression while the student is learning their instrument."
