Monday: Different Genres of Music/ Titling Your Piece
Tuesday: How to Compose an Introduction/ How to Compose a Verse

    Teacher expertise and credentials
    Hello Everyone! 
    
    My name is Miss Gibson and I am a K-5 certified music specialist. I recently received my Master's in Music Education with the next steps of working towards my Doctorate in Music Education, with a specialization in curriculum and assessment. 
    
    I have always dreamed of being a teacher ever since I was a little kid, I used to play music class with my sister every single day. Now that it is my real dream job, my hope is that my students fall in love with music. Through movement, singing, listening, analyzing, and playing, I want my students to take a well-rounded music class, which you can see in my classes!
    
    I was a competitive dancer, specializing in contemporary and ballet. I taught for three years and have a major focus on movement in my music classes! 
    
    The classes that I play on teaching include Music and Movement (K-5), Songwriting (4th and 5th Grade), Intro to Music (K-5), General Music (K-5), Private Piano (Ages 7-13). If you are interested in any of those classes but, do not see them currently offered, feel free to message me, I am always looking to schedule at any point. I look forward to teaching you soon!
