Meet the Instructor

Kiarah began playing the piano at age 3. By age 9, she was performing annually in Guild, Festival events and competitions, earning consecutive 1st place titles at both District and State competitions, resulting in receiving invitations to perform at state piano conventions.

 

At age 11, she received a special invitation to attend college music programs annually, which provided opportunities to study music history, theory, piano literature, dictation, performance, and more. That same year, she began teaching piano and has since had the privilege of working with over 200 students—many of whom have continued performing, become teachers themselves, and been accepted into music schools and programs around the world.

 

She has received ongoing training in Classical, Baroque, Romantic, and Modern/Contemporary styles. She has accompanied theatrical productions, vocalists, instrumentalists, orchestras, performed for weddings, restaurants, festivals, and more. She also premiered as a guest artist in productions in Saint Petersburg, Florida and was awarded the second-highest scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music programs at age 15. In 2024, she had the privilege of working alongside an orchestra that performed for thousands of guests from around the world and enjoys sharing this world of music with her students.
