      Kaila Hunter is a music teacher, composer, vocalist, instrumentalist, and performing artist.  

      Her calling to music began with singing hymns in church in childhood, and is a continuing life-long journey.

      She learned music fundamentals through playing piano for several years, before discovering guitar at age 11.    

      Kaila went on to study classical & jazz guitar for decades to follow, which laid the foundation for other stringed instruments

      In adolescence, Banjo & Mandolin became hobbies, while she focused on teaching herself the Violin.  

      Her joy for fiddling developed through years of teaching others the basics of how to play the instrument.  

      As a multi-disciplined "stringstress", she shares wisdom on how to translate existing musical backgrounds for those 

      aspiring to learn a new instrument, as well as how to spark a curiosity into a love of music for beginners.

      Kaila offers patient encouragement, guidance on instrumental technique, and enthusiasm for music theory to students.   

      Music is her passion, and teaching is her inspiration.
