Ingrid

Piano Faculty

From very young girl, Ingrid was a music lover. She began playing piano at the age of three, performed in the children’s chorus of Houston Grand Opera productions, and listened to the Beatles on her portable record player. This love of music turned into a passion in high school, where she performed in her high school symphonic choir and jazz choir, and in school musical theatre productions. She earned a degree in music from Texas Woman’s University in Denton, TX. After spending years playing in bands around the Austin area, she finally decided it was time to start teaching music. She taught public school music in the Washington DC area before moving back to her true home of Austin. She and her musician husband love playing music and cooking, while their son, Asher, is loving his piano lessons at Capital Music.

Here’s what Ingrid’s students have to say about her:

“I am very pleased with my son's progress with piano lessons at Kathy Caraway Elementary School. He is excited about his after-school lesson, has no issues when reminded to practice (in fact, often times he doesn't need reminders), and he is attempting to play music that isn't part of his lessons, ie Axel F. Ingrid is just brilliant with these kids! She is patient, enthusiastic, and has just the right amount of energy for these kids. She is creative in her interactions, and she has every parent believing that his/her child is Ingrid's favorite! (I know mine is!!). I'm glad that my son has this opportunity to learn to play the piano. Thank you.” -Karen E

“We LOVE Ingrid. She has such a great temperament and skill working with kids. Julia enjoys and looks forward to her piano lessons I love the Roland Music Tutor because it allows me to gauge her accuracy without hovering over her.” --Amy B, mother of Julia
