For over a decade, I have provided music instruction across all instruments and ensembles for PreK through high school. My students have gone on to successful careers, with many performing in music. My skills of learning one instrument and effectively transferring that understanding to many other instruments have served me well as a school music educator. I earned a Master's of Music from the University of Tennessee for general, vocal, and instrumental education. My innovative teaching and dedication to music education have gained various industry recognition. I ensure my students receive appropriate teaching methods that help them effectively and safely develop their potential. Thank you for choosing me to be part of your journey.

Homework
Frequency: Available upon requestFeedback: Available upon requestDetails: Homework is considered optional. As with any subject, the benefits of personal performance practice are: improved skill development, increased confidence, and the ability to take on new and greater challenges. We will use the tools from the class "Your Personal Practice Planner" to set realizestic goals and support personal emotional and task progress feedback.Assessment
Frequency: Available upon requestDetails: Pre-assessment: Attached to the welcome email is a performer profile to detail the experience to the teacher and assist the performer in developing their subject matter-specific narrative (electric violin). If you are new to electric violin, you find a lot of blank information on this page. THAT IS OKAY! That is why you are joining this class and we are excited to have you join us. In-class assessment: The teacher will observe, question, and seek to understand general music knowledge, musical selections, and performance techniques related to the electric violin and be an active guide in the learners' skill development toward mastery of independent, efficient playing and decision-making. Post-class assessment: Before the class ends, we will spend 2 -3 minutes on post class available activities.
This class can be taught based on visual instruction using no words for interaction. The teacher can adapt lessons where the primary or sole method of communication is non-verbal.
No experience is required. This class is tailored to the learner, their goals, and experience. Acoustic violin background may make it easier to learn. Be sure to introduce yourself and read the welcome email to get the most out of our time.

Musical instruments produce sound - and sometimes a lot of it. When your learner joins class or is practicing, you may prefer to have a dedicated space so they can focus on their playing and you can focus on your activities at the same time.
Class materials have all been originally created by the learning leader.
