Kaitlin Arellano Columbia Piano, Voice, Ukulele, Ear Training, Music Theory, Improvisation, Song Writing, Conducting.

Kaitlin is a classically trained musician from rural southwest Kansas. Although it was a challenge to pursue music education in an agricultural environment, Kaitlin and her parents were determined to find opportunities for musical growth wherever they could. Weekly hour-long drives for piano lessons, trips across the state for weekend performances and collegiate music workshops, along with daily in-home musical immersion, have all shaped Kaitlin into the musician she is today.

Kaitlin received her degree in Music from Emporia State University, where she minored in Psychology, sparked by her interest in Music Therapy. She understands the intrinsic motivation required to continue pursuing music education and works hard to instill confidence in her students by fostering a positive, healthy learning environment.

With eight years of teaching experience, Kaitlin has positively impacted many students and is passionate about how music can shape us into better individuals. In her free time, she enjoys crafting and creating, traveling back to Kansas to visit family, learning Spanish, and advocating for causes like environmental sustainability within her local community.

Conducting lessons in Columbia, Missouri

Conducting lessons build clear gesture, cueing, and score awareness—for student directors, church leaders, and musicians who want stronger ensemble leadership.

In Conducting lessons, students typically work on:

  • Beat patterns, prep beats, and cutoffs
  • Cueing entries and shaping dynamics
  • Score study habits that translate to rehearsal
  • Practical leadership skills for real ensembles

Lessons are one-on-one. Start with a free trial, then continue on a schedule that works for you.
