Catherine Bobbs Piano Studio

As an educator, my passion is to engage and expand the students minds in their pursuit of musical studies. Working with children's existing talents and interests, I provide them with the technical tools and mental intelligence to become not only fine pianists, but well rounded musicians. I provide them with compelling ways to achieve their musical quests, connect themselves with what they are learning, and retain their information. My primary role is to show students the love of learning music of all periods, instill in them an organized and intelligent approach to learning, and guide them towards a reasonable comfort in performing.

My hope is that the skills the students learn in their music lessons will be skills they can use in a variety of occupations and academic quests as well. I provide my students with many performing opportunities, not only insisting on their participation in studio recitals, but on their participation in other competitive and festival performing opportunities as well. Performance develops their confidence in themselves which, again, they may use in all sorts of life scenarios. I train my students not just to play piano well, but foster skills they may use throughout their lives in many capacities.
