Kim Congdon - Piano Instructor

Kim Congdon (KC) has her degree in keyboard performance from Northern Illinois University, and has been a professional musician since the age of 17. She has made her living exclusively from music since she was 21, and is currently a member of the nationally renowned Agape Ringers, who regularly tour the United States and Europe. She has appeared on WTTW’s Artbeat and on Good Morning Arizona. She has served as a mentor for Orbert Davis’ MusicAlive! Program, a life skills development project for at-risk inner city kids. KC also teaches at national and state seminars for music directors, and has served as the Illinois State Chair for AGEHR, a musician’s guild. Over the past several years, she has released five CD’s.

KC attended Moody Bible Institute majoring in Church Music (before it had a degree program) and finished her degree in Organ Performance at Northern Illinois University.

KC is currently employed as a handbell director at St Matthew UCC in Wheaton and 1st Congregational of Western Springs where she directs both a young person's bell choir and an adult choir at each church. More information about her performances can be found at www.agaperingers.org.

KC is looking for piano students to fill some time slots on Sunday afternoon/evening and Monday morning/early afternoon. Her studio is at St Matthew UCC 1420 S Gables, Wheaton.

Typically, students stay with KC from first grade through high school graduation, some of whom have gone on to be performing artists. However, she is willing to accept students on a short-term basis at any age level including adults who want to explore a new skill.
