Aleythia Slaughter

I've been an avid violin and piano student for almost 20 years, starting back in elementary school under the guidance of several wonderful mentors. Over the years I've played in ensembles of all sizes, accompanied musicians at every skill level, and used performance opportunities to keep growing as a musician myself.

I graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato in the fall of 2020 with a Bachelor's Degree in K-12 Education. Since fall 2019, I've taught violin, piano, Latin, and Spanish at Genesis Classical Academy in Winnebago. In 2024, I started my own business, Altiora Music, because I saw a real need for quality music teachers in our area — my focus is helping students get truly event-ready, using efficient practice methods and real performance preparation, so they're not spending months on a piece and still feeling unprepared to perform it well.

My primary instruments are violin and piano, though I've also taught viola and cello.
