ABOUT LUANNE
Luanne Kauppila has spent her entire life involved in music. She
was able to sing over 100 songs at the age of 2 and was raised in a
family that enjoyed sharing music. She began piano lessons at 10
years old and has taught piano since 1977. She has
accompanied various instrumental and singing
groups, pianist at churches, played for weddings, funerals and musicals. A graduate of Azusa
Pacific University with a BA in piano performance, she has also earned
national and
state certification in piano (NCTM). Since March 2008, she
has studied the
Taubman
Technique, an in-depth physiological approach to piano technique
which both prevents and relieves injuries sustained by musicians.
To ensure her continued growth both as a teacher and a musician, she
studies and practices piano regularly, participates in workshops, master
classes and music teacher's conventions, reads professional journals and
books on music and teaching and attends concerts regularly.
Luanne now brings her love of music and young
children as founder and director of her Kindermusik program
located at Enumclaw Music in downtown Enumclaw, WA. Luanne established Kindermusik in 2003
when she recognized the need for a studio that offers high-quality
musical experiences for young children to enjoy with their families,
while providing a foundation for future learning in all areas of
development. Luanne is part of a large international network of
licensed Kindermusik programs and she is excited about sharing the
magic of Kindermusik with the Plateau. She is also a member
of MTNA and WSMTA .
Luanne is married to Dave and has a 24 year
old Daughter, Sarah, who is a graduate of Washington State University.
