Welcome to my private music studio! I have been singing and playing the piano since I was 5 years old, and ever since, music has been a pivotal part of my life. It was the highlight of my adolescent and young adult years, leading me through college where I obtained a music education degree. After college, I began teaching high school chorus in a brick and mortar school, and after school, I taught private piano lessons. Beginning in 2018, I brought my teaching expertise online, interacting with students all over the world. Private music lessons is the best way to receive top quality instruction for growing musicians! In class, I will individualize each student's lessons based on their needs and interests with student-led song choice and teacher guidance. For piano students! We will be practicing and learning the following techniques: -Finger and Arm warm ups -Music notation and reading notes -Rhythm, Time Signatures, and Tempo -Proper Posture and Fingering -Dynamics and Expression -Musical Terms *Students may need to purchase some piano books/sheet music* For voice students!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Toccoa Falls College
Hello! My name is Rebecca Weber and I am so excited to meet you in the classroom! I have a degree in Music Education from Toccoa Falls College. I graduated at the top of my music class and specialize in piano and voice! While in high school and college, I participated in several musical ensembles including chorus, Varsity singers, piano accompaniment, concert band, jazz band, handbell choir, women's ensemble, and musical theater!
I have been tutoring and teaching private music lessons since 2008, and started my first full time high school music position in 2012. Teaching music just gets better the older I get. I absolutely love what I do! I love watching students grow in their musicianship and the pride and joy they feel from creating something absolutely beautiful. I have experience with all ages from 3-18, and have taught one on one, large groups of more than 100, regular classroom size of about 20-30, and small groups of 5-10.
In 2018, I also started teaching ESL online with VIPKid. I received a specialized VIPKid ESL certification and have worked with zero English beginners all the way to advanced grammar level students! I have learned to love this just as much as teaching music because watching my students make huge strides in their ability to communicate and understand a brand new language has been so rewarding! I have been with students who spoke no English and now engage in free talk conversations about any and everything! What an amazing journey!
I look forward to sharing these skills with new students on Outschool. I have grown to truly appreciate online education and the flexibility it offers both students and teachers. Through Outschool, I will be offering a wide range of music lessons for all ages and levels including music theory, ear training, music history, performance skills, rhythm and pitch, and more! I believe music is a necessary skill to have as it improves cognitive ability in every other area of our lives including social/emotional skills, motor skills, creative skills, and intellectual abilities. Also, I will be offering English and ESL classes for students learning to read and write. Learning a second language can be intimidating, but I have wonderful success with students who have grown to love their English lessons with me!
Outside of the classroom, you'll find me with my family! I have three kids and together we love playing board games, playing fetch with our dogs, baking cookies, watching Disney movies, and taking road trips :)
Thank you so much for the opportunity to teach your child! I look forward to meeting you in the classroom!
