Our Team

  • Anna Haugen

    Anna graduated from the University of Minnesota-Morris with a degree in Elementary Education and Music. She has been teaching piano lessons to students of all ages for over 25 years. She specializes in serving young beginners and loves designing her lesson plans to meet the needs of each individual student. Her experience includes teaching preschool group classes, students with special needs, and adult beginners. Anna loves to incorporate improvisation, composition, and games into her lessons. She encourages students to take an active role in selecting music that appeals to their interests.

    Anna sees herself as a teacher first, but also a mentor to other young teachers who want to make piano teaching a life-long profession.

    When not teaching, Anna enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and 4 children.
