ABOUT KELLI:
Kelli Frances Corrado (She/Her) has been a teaching artist for over 16 years as a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, and specializes in helping the beginner. While growing up in Chicago, she would sneak out during school nights to see hip hop shows and spend weekends with her Czech grandmother learning prayer rituals. She lived many lives before putting her heart in song: social worker, student, tap dancer, wanderer. This set a unique musical foundation, giving voice to her spiritual beliefs and leading her to study voice, poetry, string arranging, ear training and beat making.
Kelli started her teaching career in the PNW at the Old Redmond Firehouse and Vera Project rock camps, and it blossomed into a dedicated passion supporting her belief in the equity and accessibility of music and music lessons for everyone. She has taught for various schools and social justice organizations such as Willie Mae Rock Camp in Brooklyn and DNDA in Seattle; and is currently part of the Seattle Office of Arts and Culture Creative Advantage teaching roster.
Kelli’s teaching philosophy is to create individualized lesson plans for each student based in: theory, technique, ear training and student goals with an emphasis on creativity and personal empowerment. Kelli believes music is a language based on listening and personal expression. Whether you are 5 or 70 years old, she can help you.
