Let's Write a Song Together! (Ages 4-6)
What's included
1 live meeting
30 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this one time class, we will go over all the basic components of songwriting (including but not limited to): - Parts of a song - Finding song inspiration - Brainstorm a song topic - Writing lyrics together - Writing a melody - Writing harmonies - Basic Music Theory Part Writing Skills This class is very fluid to the musical background and interests of the students involved. During the course, the class as a whole will focus on writing one song. I will input the melody and harmonies into a music writing software, and students will be able to access a recording of the song (voice and piano) and the song's sheet music as well so they can see their final product. They will also learn tips and tricks from our collaborative song that they can add into writing their own music!
Learning Goals
Students will help me create a short song we will be able to access the final product of!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! It’s so nice to introduce myself, in the classroom I go by Miss Amanda or Miss Mandy. I am a young, enthusiastic and ambitious musician and music educator. I have experience interning and substitute teaching students of all ages K-12 in public schools for over a year. I am currently a music teacher at a studio (for piano, voice, and ukulele) and with my bachelor's degree in Music Education and Elementary Education. I am certified by the state of Florida to teach Music K-12 and General Elementary Education. If you are looking for private instruction, please message me.
I am an advocate to make arts accessible to each and every student, no matter their interests or skill level. That being said, if there is a course or format that you would like to see me offer, please let me know and I would be more than happy to help create the right course for your musical endeavors. I have a very interactive style of teaching that I am so excited to share with my learners. I have musical experience over the past six years performing in various choirs, bands and conducting, along with six years of piano and accompaniment experience. I have been so fortunate to be able to perform at prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall! Please reach out if you have any questions about me or any specific class requests, I can’t wait to meet you soon!
When I’m not focusing on teaching or music, I love to spend time with my friends and family like going to spend the day at the beach.
