Hi, my name is Marianne! I graduated from Garden City Community College in 2011 with an Associate of Arts degree in Piano. From there I transferred to Southwestern Adventist University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Sciences and minored in Vocal Music. I love to share my passion for music with others, and I hope to convey that to my students as well. My goal is to ignite that passion in my students so that not only they will want to share with others, but that they will find joy in it. Read More

Effective teaching caters to each student's unique needs and learning styles. This is why although I prefer the Music Tree series of method books, I'm also flexible and observant to determine the best possible approach on a student-by-student basis. My goal is to instill a genuine, passion for music in my students, and also to help develop well-rounded musicians. Whether you want to play Mozart, write songs, or play in a jazz band, I want to give you the tools you need to make the most of that situation. Read More

For beginners of all ages, I typically start with the fundamentals of music theory. For children, once they have grasped this, I will introduce solo repertoire and sight reading appropriate for their skill level. For adults, I try to find out what they are interested in and instruct accordingly. I like to keep practice fun and engaging for all ages and ability levels. Read More

I graduated from Kansas State University in 2018 with a Bachelor's Degree in Vocal Performance and a minor in Theatre. Over the past 5 years I have had 7 beginner piano students and 10 voice students of varying levels. I have taught ages 5-10 for piano and 11-20 for voice. I currently teach online via FaceTime/Zoom, am available to go to students homes or host them in my studio. I love teaching the next generation of musicians to find their voice and confidence in their instrument so that they can share their gifts with others and edify themselves.. Read More

In my studio, I have found that the greatest results from consistent thoughtful practice. My experience of performance and practice have helped me develop a method that has proven successful in my studio.I was taught in the Russian piano school and have found that the incorporation method of performance, technique, theory, and music history give a well-balanced foundation for creative development of musicians. I have worked with students from age 3-65 and all levels from beginner to advanced and found this method works the best. Read More

For piano students just starting out, I like Alfred’s basic piano library, and the Bastien piano basics. There are several other piano courses I’m excited to try as well. For both piano and voice students, I like to include a book of tunes with which the student is familiar: movie tunes, Disney songs, etc. For older students, I will focus a little more on the different time periods of music and help them to gain an appreciation for each.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The best way to know whether your child is get ready to start the lesson is let him/her try to having one lesson. We will never know their interest until they have tried. I have taught many young students, and their parents cannot clear know whether their children love music. Because they don't have many opportunities get close to learning it professionally, so why not let them try to have one lesson?
Some parents might consider that their children are too young to have lesson, and they are afraid that if they will have pressure of having lesson. My answer is no, because one of the most important goal in my lesson, is to let my students enjoy the music and lesson. I will do my best to help them learning knowledge in a happiness lesson mode.
When will I start to see results?
Actually, after each lesson you would have progress, while which is hard to see distinctively. For beginners, when you have learned the basic theory knowledge and several short pieces, from then, you will find you have a obvious progress and you can see your results. This process generally need to take two months for young students, (around one month for adults). If you are an intermediate or advanced student, to see the results usually depends on how long you can completely learn a new piece. Because for every new piece, finishing learning all the notes is just the beginning part, focusing on the all emotional expression is the rest part, that students have to spend more time working on, like dynamic changes, right rhythm, the control of melody lines, and so on. After you working on a new piece, you will find you have a great progress whatever from your technique skills aspect or understanding to the music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First of all, knowing well the whole new piece can help students learning it easily. Listening the piece with reading the score as much as you can before you start practicing will help you be familiar with all the notes, and avoid play the wrong notes.
I would like to encourage students set up the realistic goals for practicing, and make them into many smaller steps to reach. For example, if you are starting learning a new piece, firstly, you need to thinking how long do I need to finish learning it completely. And then, give yourself an answer, such as one week, which can be regarded as a realistic goals. Therefore, you have to divide this piece into several parts to learning and practicing. Persisting in practicing one part daily, (just thinking each part as the smaller steps) which will be the most easy and practical way to complete your new piece.
