Instruments:
I am a lyric soprano, and have been performing and teaching for the past 35 years. I have performed opera, oratorio, Gilbert and Sullivan and concert repertoire. My particular interests are early music and 20th century art song. I teach at several different schools, and enjoy working with ages 13 through adult. I trained originally as a classical guitartist, and take guitar students from age 10 through adult. I also teach folk guitar. I have studied classical piano for several years and have taught a number of beginning piano students.
Instruments:
Along with teaching traditional repertoire I specialize in teaching creativity and composition to all of my students - they get the full benefits of a traditional music education plus a thorough and extensive immersion in the language of music through creating music and performing their creations. Students learn scales, chord progressions and arpeggios and create and play music in all of the major keys, utilizing my book, “Playing and Composing Around the Circle of Fifths.” Classical repertoire is emphasized, with some jazzy and boogie-type pieces included. I encourage students to bring music of interest - please ask me about playing music of any style!
Instruments:
I have been Teaching professionally for 14 years. In this time I have gained a lot of experience through trial and error on how to shape my lessons towards the individual and make them more effective for the students growth. My real teaching strength is in my ability to play several different musical styles. I stay current with music trends, but I am well versed in classic styles as well. I highly encourage my students to use the tools I show them to develop their own voice on the instrument and create their own music. I stress the importance of Music as art and to keep it fun.
Instruments:
I work with several teaching companies in the Seattle area and prior to that, I taught at The Stars Inc. School of Music and The Music Workshop in Miami. Over the past few years I have helped people of all ages get the results they want. Whether your goal is to learn traditional songs from your home country to surprise their relatives, or improve your technical or reading ability so you can get into music school, or if you’re just looking for help with your own original compositions, I’m willing and able to guide you through your journey.
Instruments:
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Faber's Piano Adventures or Hal Leonard's Student Piano Library. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the students are interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Also, for the adult beginners, I'll use Faber's Adult Piano Adventures (All-In-One) as the guide to introduce basic knowledge of piano.
