About Me
Welcome to Meadow Lark Studios
My name is Kyndra Soto and I live in Greeley, Colorado with my family. I teach piano and voice lessons in my home studio and early childhood music classes at the Greeley Family FunPlex.
I had three major influences in my life as a music teacher. My love for music was cultivated by my mom. She is also a piano teacher and taught me to play until I entered the college of music at UNC. I am so thankful for both of my parents who cultivated an appreciation for fine arts and creative thinking. My remarkable professors in the UNC school of music shaped my teaching style. Under their direction, I learned musicianship and technical skills to provide my students with rigorous instruction coupled with musical artistry. I use what they taught me every day. My two sons inspire me to give the gift of music to others because they both have learning difficulties and have benefited from learning music from an early age. They have taught me that music is for everyone, regardless of age or ability!
I would be honored to be your music teacher whether you are highly gifted or whether you have a non-typical way of thinking and learning. My mission is to guide each student in his or her unique musical experience. I want to see every student feel successful and grow as a musician, as a learner, and as a person.
