Today we’d like to introduce you to Kirsten Nelson.
Hi Kirsten, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Kirsten Nelson holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Therapy from Utah State University. Her love of music began as a young child watching her mother teach piano lessons in her studio. She began taking lessons at a young age and later learned to play the violin. She decided to continue this passion by studying music in college. After finishing her degree, Kirsten taught music lessons successfully in her home studio for years in Cache Valley. During this time she was a chairman of the Cache Valley Piano Chapter of National Federation of Music Clubs. She also taught music classes at Logan Regional Hospital Child Development Center. After moving to Davis County, Kirsten began working at Bravo Arts Academy. She served as the Music Department Leader during this time. In 2021, she opened Music Academy of Utah with two locations in Clearfield and South Ogden. She loves teaching students and working with so many incredibly talented teachers. Kirsten comes from a very musical family and one of her favorite things to do is play piano and violin with her mom, sisters and brother. Music has been a big part of her life! She loves helping students discover the joy of music!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I knew when I bought this business that I would need to get a lot more students than it had when I started. My biggest challenge was learning to run a business and get more students.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Music Academy of Utah offers quality music lessons for all ages. We teach many different types of classes: Piano, violin, voice, guitar, cello, ukulele, viola, drum, flute, clarinet, trumpet, tuba, trombone, baritone, song writing, children’s choir, toddler classes, theory and adult music classes.
We make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals. We are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual. We want our students to enjoy learning!
When I started Music Academy of Utah, my goal was to create a learning environment that was positive for students and teachers. I want students to be excited to come to their lesson each week, have fun learning, make friends, build self-esteem, and enjoy having music in their lives. I want teachers to enjoy teaching and have an environment where they can be creative. I wanted students and teachers to feel cared about.
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
My family has always been my biggest supporters! Even my extended family has all helped me! I also have the privilege or working with so many amazing teachers and friends!
