Our History
Founded by voice teacher Kate Lanagan as a home studio in Columbia Heights, Cardon Studios has grown from one teacher and a handful of students to an online music school serving students throughout the DC metro area. Though Cardon Studios has outgrown Kate’s living room, the foundations are the same. Guided by Kate’s original vision of individualized instruction on a small number of highly specialized topics, Cardon Studios maintains its “singer-songwriter” focus by offering only high-quality instruction in Voice, Piano, and Songwriting. Kate aims to cultivate a unique music education environment: one that combines the very best of working with a private teacher with the perks of being part of a larger community.
Cardon Studios is a small, independently owned, music school that strives to connect personally and help each student find the best way to fulfill their need for musical expression in whatever style of music they feel most drawn toward. Come experience the benefits of one-on-one instruction while enjoying the warm environment of a community of musical peers.
