Instruments:
I have seventeen years of experience teaching piano. I teach musical expression through the instruction of sequential musical skills, varied repertoire, sight reading, ear-training, music theory and technique. My purpose is to help each student develop a love and appreciation of music. I hope that music will be an avenue of fulfillment and a source of joy that will last them a lifetime.
Instruments:
For my younger, early elementary piano students, I use the Bastien Piano Basics. For my older school-aged students, I typically use the Faber Piano Adventures series, usually starting off with the acclerated book for the older students. For adults and some of my high school students, I use the Alfred Adult series. All age levels will be taught music theory in conjunction with the regular music lesson, which gives them a deeper understanding of the music that they are learning! My band students will be taught based on what method book their director is using, whether it be Essential Elements, Standard of Excellence, etc. Their lessons may be expanded upon by providing duets or solos for them to play. I also encourage the older students to learn their scales and possibly audition for All-Sate Band if so desired. All of my band students that have been playing for a least a year are encouraged to participate in an annual spring music recital.
Instruments:
My style of teaching revolves around a solid foundation in technique and proper ways to practice. This is the hardest part about having music lessons, because its all about muscle memory. I advise learning the basics before jumping straight into learning songs. Again, its very important to play the right way, and more importantly, practice the right way. Another thing that I teach is that failure is not bad in itself, but its only part of the process that lets a sudent know what to work on. Many times, failure is a result of certain muscles and movements not being trained yet, and not something that is out of reach. When learning how to play an instrument, patience is a must.
Instruments:
Throughout my career, I have performed as solo and group artist with with various opera and theater companies and performance venues throughout the world. I am also a composer in the making! Currently, I am working on my first major musical, which is called "Beyond The Blues." I have also had the humbling opportunity of being featured in the media and honored through several awards for my craft.
Instruments:
I grew up lerning with the Suzuki Method. I enjoy different methods, including Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, but it really depends on the student! How you take in, process, and act on information. Also how well you practice AT HOME!!!!
