Hi there! I’m Katie Johnson

I’m a professional singer and actor based in Clifton Park, NY. I’m so glad you’re interested in learning about lessons at my private home studio. This page is designed to answer any questions you may have.
I offer private lessons in-person and via Zoom in the following areas:

  • Voice (specializing in Musical Theater & Pop)

  • Beginner Piano

  • Beginner Guitar

  • Film/TV Acting

See below for Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the most common questions parents and students ask before starting lessons with me.

    • Lessons are located in Clifton Park at my private home studio. The house is located near the Shenendehowa High Schools.

    • I will send you the address when you sign up for a Comp Lesson.

    • Lessons are only a 4-minute drive to Market 32, and a short walk from the Clifton Commons. Some parents opt to go for a walk or do a quick grocery run during their student’s lesson!

    • Parking: When you arrive, either park perpendicular to the house or pull into the additional parking before you reach the house. We often have people coming in and out. (We live in a multi-generational household!)

    • Yes! Zoom is an excellent resource for us to use in the event of travel, schedule change, or sickness.

    • Some of my students have found that weekly Zoom lessons work the best for them and their schedules.

    • Whatever the case may be, I will walk you through the process if you are interested to try out a Zoom lesson together!

    • It happens- let me know when you are running late especially if it’s over a few minutes

    • If it's possible to go a little over time on my end (meaning, there is no student directly after your scheduled lesson,) I will always try to do that

    • If you know you have to cancel prior to the day-of your lesson, let me know. We can find a time to make-up the lesson, do a “double” another week, or skip that week’s lesson.

  • Definitely. I know life can get busy, so the most important thing is early communication. I have plenty of options for rescheduling lessons:

    • Switch to a Zoom lesson

    • Schedule a “double” (1 hr) at a mutually discussed time.

    • Rescheduling to a different day for that week

  • Getting started in acting is a fun way to build confidence, creativity, and communication skills- even if it’s just for a season. I’m here to guide you and your child every step of the way!

    I have made a Getting Started in Acting resource for you and your student to learn more about what to expect.

    If you have any questions or need help with headshots, monologues, or finding roles, just let me know!

Ready to start lessons? Book your free first lesson today

The first lesson with me is complimentary- no cost for you!

During this time, we’ll get to know one another, talk about goals, answer questions, and do a short “sample lesson.”

You’ll leave with warmups, technique tips, and a clear sense of whether lessons feel like a good fit.
