Meet Mrs. WK

Joan Williams-Kargakos, or “Mrs. WK,” as her students call her, has dedicated 20 years to teaching music in both private lessons and schools. While her first love has always been the piano, her greatest joy comes from helping young musicians discover the thrill of making music together and sharing it with others. Mrs. WK’s students are regularly selected for local and state honors ensembles and consistently earn high ratings at festivals. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance, along with Master’s degrees in Piano Pedagogy and Music Education. When Mrs. WK is not in the studio or classroom, she cherishes time spent with her family. She finds J.S. Bach to be the most relatable composer because he wrote a cantata dedicated to a woman’s obsession with coffee. After scheduling a time to chat about enrolling your child in piano lessons, you should give it a listen.
