Kylie Stultz-Dessent is an experienced and dedicated private teacher at the collegiate and pre-college levels. She is in demand as a clarinet clinician around the Midwest. She currently teaches at Purdue University Fort Wayne and maintains a studio of dedicated pre-college students.
Her pre-college students consistently earn top placements in the Indiana All-State Bands and achieve gold ratings at the ISSMA solo and ensemble.
Teaching is one of my greatest passions and I believe all people, regardless of their diverse abilities, to be capable of developing musical skill and appreciation. A music education is a powerful tool. It has the ability to help us develop fundamental life skills, while, at the same time, affects our emotions, intellect, and psychology. As an educator, my goal is to create a generation of music-makers and music-lovers who not only creatively engage with music on a daily basis, but support music and music education for the rest of their lives. I aim to shape my students into motivated, ambitious individuals, dedicated to their musical and personal growth. I wholeheartedly believe the study of music means a commitment to learning that will last a lifetime.
