MEET THE TEACHER

Hi, I'm Kami Booth, the owner and instructor of The Piano Studio of Kami Booth, a 55-student teaching studio in my home in Burr Ridge, Illinois. Music - and the piano in particular - has been magical to me since I was a young child. I have been playing the piano for more than 45 years. I have been teaching private and small group piano to beginning and intermediate level children and adults for 25 years. 

A former piano accompanist for the choir department at Riverside Brookfield High School in Riverside, Illinois, I regularly accompany instrumentalists and vocalists for choral concerts and solo and ensemble contests at local middle schools and high schools. I am also the keyboardist and music coordinator for the No-Name Band, a contemporary Christian band at the Presbyterian Church of Western Springs in Western Springs, Illinois. I am a member of the Hinsdale Music Club, where I serve on the planning committee for the organization’s annual Young Musicians Festival.

I graduated from St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, with a bachelor’s degree in mass communications (emphasis in print journalism) and minors in music and business. Since then, I've continued developing my music education and piano pedagogy skills through classes at VanderCook College of Music, Chicago, and Concordia University, River Forest, Illinois.
