Annie Kuchenmeister

Ever since she first picked up the guitar, Annie Kuchenmeister has been deeply committed to two things: learning as much about music as possible and playing live music. Over the past ten years, she’s studied guitar under Ryan Smith and expanded her skills to include bass guitar, ukulele, piano, and voice. Her passion for learning led her to Normandale Community College, where she studied for two years and earned an Associate of Music degree. For Annie, learning music has always been a safe space, a way to discover herself and explore her creativity.

As a teacher, her goal is to help each student connect with that same sense of passion and personal expression through music.
