Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten
Beginner Level
In this weekly ongoing class, learners will use the skills taught in the introductory class to reinforce the notes that were learned.  We will focus on playing a different song each week, using songs, games, and singing to practice basic piano concepts, which will include note names, finger numbers, basic rhythm, and technique, and more.

The topics and practice concepts will include:
The geography of the Keyboard/Piano
Note Names
Loud and Quiet
Highs and Lows
Fast and Slow
Ups and Downs
Rhythm vs Beat

This is an ongoing class, and students may enroll at any time, as the topics learned are separate, once you have the basics from taking the Introductory Class. 

Note: Please email me if you'd like to request a time for this class.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
I am an educator at heart! I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music.  I've played piano and have sung professionally in various settings: churches, jazz bands, and more.  I have over 20 years in teaching music in schools and in my private studio.  I've taught general music classes, music appreciation, music theory, choirs, group piano, private singing, and piano lessons.  I've been a Fine Arts Director at a K-12 school for the last 5 years in Florida, as well as teaching in my studio online, and after school. 

Why take my classes?

My classes are relaxed, engaging, and fun! Lessons include learning a variety of different styles of music.  Classical, jazz, pop music are just some of the styles that I introduce. 

Most classes will focus on:

• How to read music
• How to sing and play a variety of songs
• How to move and play different rhythmic patterns 
• How to improvise 
• How to perform for others
• How to play with skill and technique

I am a wife of a husband who's a musician, and a homeschool mom of three, with all of my children learning to play the piano, singing, and playing drums.  They were born into it!  I strongly believe in creating an environment that supports and promotes an overall love of learning.  Fostering a space that invites students to create, play, and learn to love the gift of music is my goal.  I recognize the infinite potential that each student has, and believe that learning music can open many doors in the world around us.

I hope to meet you soon!
