    Ear Training

  • Dr. Rolf loves what she does and it’s very evident by the classroom atmosphere she gives. Teaching music involves the complex balance of content instruction and enjoyment and that’s what she does! Dr. Rolf is very talented in her musical abilities also. She gives positive guidance and direction when instructing. Dr. Rolf is patient and understanding and truly cares for each of her students that she works with! I am honored to have been in her classroom and to learn from her over the last few years. From conducting lessons, ear training, to vocal ensembles and lessons, I can certainly say that she helped me become the confident music teacher I am today!

    Conducting

  • Katie is one who not only teaches conducting content but helps you understand it to become more skilled in conducting. From terminology to physically displaying examples of conducting, Katie’s ability to teach conducting is great for students of any age and even adults wanting to learn or improve in their conducting abilities! I am so glad I had Katie as my instructor as she taught so much content and provided great feedback that helped prepare me beyond the minimum needed for the music field!
