Join me in learning some Christmas songs! This class is for musicians who have played violin or viola for at least **one year**. To help you prepare for the holiday season, we will learn 4 familiar songs. We will review the key/scale required for each week, and go over any new or unfamiliar rhythms and notes before learning the song. Musicians will receive the music for each club meeting. Learners will also gain access to play along tracks for practice and performance if they’d like to play for family and friends! Christmas Music Club: Week 1: Up on the Housetop - D Major Week 2: We Wish You A Merry Christmas - G Major Week 3: Jingle Bells - G Major Week 4: Deck the Halls - C Major Please make sure each musician has their instrument tuned before we begin class, as we will not have time to individually tune during our time together. If you have questions about this or need assistance, please let me know.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Arizona Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
I attended the University of Arizona and earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education with a Minor in Psychology. I taught for 10 years as a public school orchestra teacher in Arizona and have current certification. During my time in various districts, my students Superior Ratings at state festivals. I also had the privilege to conduct the 6th Grade Honor Orchestra as part of the Southern AZ Elementary/Junior High School Honor Orchestra Festival.
I am a proponent for collaborative efforts and person-centered learning. Every person has a voice and I believe that can be best expressed through music. Learners do best when there is a sense of mutual respect, a safe space, and an interest in them as an individual.
As a performer, I enjoy playing in various small group endeavors on viola and violin.
