Dear Outschool students and parents,
Thank you for your interest in my arts-based piano and applied music theory classes and I’m so happy to be exploring creative ways of exploring music and piano playing with the Outschool community.
I am a pianist, teacher, and educational researcher with over 20 years of music and piano teaching experiences. I completed my PhD in Curriculum Studies, specializing in music education and arts-based research methodologies.
Based on my doctoral research, I have been developing my own arts-based piano and music theory curriculum that integrate piano improvisation, stories, poems, and/or drawings to encourage, support, and inspire children’s own unique, individual ways of exploring music and learning to play the piano.
In our piano classes, we will learn to play the piano by creating our own music, improvise new sound effects on the piano to accompany the storybooks, read/write poetry as inspirations for our piano playing, and lots of drawings to express our musical ideas.
In our theory classes, we will learn to read, write, and compose our own beautiful melodies and harmonies together.
If you have any questions and/or would like more information about my current and/or upcoming new piano and theory classes, please contact me and I'm happy to connect with you.
Thank you everyone and I look forward to creating many beautiful, fun music, drawings, poems, and stories with you!
Happy piano playing and music writing~
