📍 Wendell, ID
Carey holds an Associate of Arts in Music from the College of Southern Idaho and has performed in an Honor Recital — but what she loves most is teaching. From six-year-olds sitting at a piano for the very first time to adults finally chasing a lifelong goal, Carey has taught students of every age, and every one of them started exactly where you are now.
Lessons happen right in her Wendell home studio, in a relaxed, unhurried setting. No judgment about “starting late,” no pressure to be perfect — just steady progress, real encouragement, and a genuine love of music passed along one lesson at a time.

Beyond the lesson
Real chances to perform, and real confidence to gain
Learning piano isn’t just about the weekly lesson. Carey gives every student genuine opportunities to step in front of an audience — because that’s where practice turns into real, earned confidence.
Annual Music Festival
- A friendly, judged performance evaluation
- Students can earn trophies recognized at a national level
- A rewarding goal that builds steady practice habits all year
- Open to students at every level, beginner through advanced
Church Recitals
- Two recitals a year, held at a local church
- Every student gets real stage time in front of family and friends
- A warm, supportive setting — not a competition
- One of the biggest steps in building genuine confidence
Performing is always encouraged, never required — it’s there whenever a student is ready for it.
Why piano
More than music lessons
A little bench time each week adds up to a lot more than songs.
Sharper focus
Reading music and coordinating both hands builds real concentration.
Real confidence
Better grades
Music study is consistently linked with stronger math and reading skills.
A calming outlet
Time at the keys is a screen-free way to unwind after a long day.
