Hello! I’m Anna, founder and instructor at Welcome Mat Music.
I’ve been bringing the gift of music into homes across St. Paul for over 15 years and teaching piano for 26 years. I love working with students from preschool - adult in private lessons and in groups.
When I’m not teaching, you can find me adventuring with my husband, Mark, and our four kids.
Let’s start making music in your home! Schedule a trial lesson today.
Learning an instrument is an incredible gift!
“My 2 boys have been taking lessons with Anna for a little less than a year. We had a year of lessons prior to starting with Anna. Anna has worked to find music to keep my 8 year old and 5 year old engaged and because of that, they are much more willing to practice. Anna has also been able to pivot to virtual teaching in a way that has kept my 5 year old interested and it now seems almost natural.”
“We have been overjoyed to find Anna Haugen, our new piano teacher. After experiencing a time of rigid instruction which sucked the joy out of playing for our kids, they love to play again. Anna takes interest in the individual and customizes her lesson to their unique needs, all the while maintaining excellent instruction. She wants them to find joy in playing. In this, she has been very successful with our four children and we are so grateful!”
“Anna Haugen is an outstanding teacher and mentor. She is skilled, patient, and absolutely committed to her students and families. Our daughter studied piano with Anna for 13 years. Both teacher and student had a very easy going way working together. Our daughter enjoyed that Anna introduced Jazz, Rag, Blues, Pop as well as Classical. We thank Anna for her assistance and dedication to all her piano students.”
