Lastly, support and accountability are also integral parts of my teaching style. Even in individual lessons, I foster a supportive environment, offering resources like mp3 practice tracks, youtube videos, and other homework to keep students engaged and track their progress. I also provide regular feedback and encouragement to ensure continuous improvement. Lastly, I do weekly and multiple times a week check-in's with my students to encouragement and ensure they feel supported to continue making progress. Read More

I am a professional licensed educator, as well as, a mother of two grown children, both of which influence my teaching method. My style is individualized to the student's personality - what works for one may not work for another. One student may be very driven to learn theory and do written homework, while another may find written homework to be agonizing but love learning new pieces of music - I will work with both styles, with the same result - each student learns to play the instrument and learns the required theory to be able to play the piano, while hopefully enjoying it along the way!

I use a very concise methodology in my instruction. I evaluate the students level, from there I make a step by step guide (of selected piece and etudes) to show the student their progress into the next level. I also encorperate ideas in theory, history, and ear training. Also if the student has yet to learn how to read musical notation. that will be taught along side with regular instrumental lessons.

I have been teaching music lessons as a music therapist since 2007 and have much experience with adapted lessons for students with developmental disabilities and other limitations.  I started teaching typical lessons in addition to adapted lessons in 2013 and it has been an added joy for me. I love teaching basic music lessons and music theory to children developing strong musical roots. I encourage a regular practice schedule for all of my students to help develop strong habits and engraving music in each of their lives.

I did not officially start teaching music until after I graduated from Hill College. I have been playing the cello since I was 13 and singing since I was practically born. While attending college I was put in charge of my section in the choir in order to make sure that everyone knew their part. I would set up weekly times for all of us to meet and go over our parts.

Theory and Composition: Integrating music theory lessons alongside practical piano instruction enhances students' understanding of musical structure, harmony, and composition. I encourage students to compose their own music pieces as a way to apply theoretical knowledge creatively. Performance Skills: Similar to voice lessons, I prepare piano students for performances and recitals. This includes stage presence, interpretation, and effective communication of musical ideas. Utilization of Technology: I incorporate digital tools and software for learning and practicing piano, including interactive apps for sight-reading, theory drills, and virtual keyboard tutorials.

My methods of teaching are teaching what and how to practice. The basic ingredients in music are scales and chords and space. I am a firm believer of playing with a rhythm section from the beginning. Because of this, I use devices such as playing with tracks, myself, and other people. I provide audio and visual examples using recordings and videos. It is a myth that, with music, you either have it or you don't. Read More
