Class Experience

In this one time course, learners will meet Master Piano Teacher Mrs. Judy's puppy Pom and talk about what pets we have or would like to have.  Then we will discover the music alphabet with cute Animals to help us learn the names of the keys, and reinforce these concepts with fun learning games.  We will also learn some basic rhythms of music and hear some awesome dog themed songs, played live on the piano by the instructor! Of course, puppy POM will be on hand to help engage learners and make this a unique introduction into piano!  
This course is taught by fun and easy going teacher Mrs. Judy with plenty of interaction with other learners, Mrs. Judy, and new friends! No previous musical knowledge or piano experience is needed for this course and no supplies are necessary-if you have any keyboard-large or small, or real piano, that is great to have in this class, but not mandatory!

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Wichita State University

Hi! I'm "ViolinJudy," Mrs. Judy Naillon, and I LOVE TEACHING MUSIC! I'm a Professional Violinist and have played with many ensembles, including the Wichita Symphony for over 20 years.  I'm a Piano and Violin Teacher with 25 + years experience teaching both in person and virtually! In my free time I write Violin music books, and biographies of composers for kids in my "Very Interesting Life of" series which are available on Amazon. 

I have a private teaching studio with MANY Violin, Piano, and Ukulele students so I have limited availability, if you message me I go through my waiting list each week trying to connect learners with any spots that have opened up! I am a master teacher, and have had the amazing opportunity to also work for Alfred's Music Publishers, one of the largest music publishers in the world.

I enjoy teaching beginners through advanced music students with my professional studio setup, and am experienced in teaching ages 3 through adult students. I use a combination of tried and true teaching methods like Suzuki, along with note reading skill building to help my students learn to play music they love. I always have a quick music theory game to engage my music students.  My virtual students also benefit from the many educational videos I post for them to my YouTube channel. 

I love keeping up with current events and usually read 2-3 newspapers every day from around the world. I enjoy sharing some of these stories in my "breakfast club" weekday morning meet-up and genuinely love getting to know my students.  My guilty pleasures are watching til-tok videos and enjoying good chocolate.  I love to play the Spelling Bee game from The New York Times Crossword App and try to get to genius every day! I also used to work for our local NPR station and love public radio!

 I am blessed to have a wonderful husband,  a cute, well behaved mini golden doodle puppy and an amazing daughter who plays many musical instruments and has learned French from Outschool!
