Does your child have an interest in playing an instrument? This is a great first step to learning music notation and seeing if they are really interested, before making the big investment! I teach in a very patient, fun, and engaging style. No prior knowledge is needed. This is a year-round program. A learner can join and stop at any time. We will be learning about different instruments, learning to play the recorder, musical notation, focusing on the 7 musical notes in music, different rhythms, and musical vocabulary with fun musical games and activities. After taking this class, students will start to internalize the beats so it comes naturally to them. Every week, we will review concepts during the first 5 minutes. This gives confidence to learners while reinforcing concepts and gives a background to new learners. Soprano Recorders can be purchased on Amazon for under $10. Instill a passion and knowledge of music so your learner can excel in any instrument they choose. I hope to see your learner in class If you don’t find a time that works with your schedule, please know I offer this in a few different flex class options.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi parents and learners. Thank you for checking out my profile!
My name is Sharon Gustin. I majored in Science and Music at SUNY Potsdam. I served as an Education Consultant at ‘Kindermusik’, working with PreK and Kindergarten teachers to learn how to implement Kindermusik, a literacy, and language curriculum that uses music as a vehicle for learning!
I have 30 years’ worth of experience teaching children in my OWN music studio, where I held “Little Musicians” classes for 3 - 5 years old. The immense popularity of these classes with the kids led me to extend them up to 9 years old because STUDENTS DID NOT WANT THE CLASS TO END.
Thanks to Outschool, I can bring my zest, spirit, and experience to your little one.
My teaching style is fun and engaging. Using songs, rhymes, listening activities, and other school readiness activities, I incorporate all three approaches to learning (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) to ensure every learner leaves class excited about what they have learned and craving to return to learn even more!
I can't wait to see your little learner in class!Reviews
