US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten
This weekly drop-in music class will cover all the skills that would be practiced in a traditional school music class setting. Students are encouraged to attend regularly if they are able, but there is no prior knowledge necessary to attend a session in this ongoing class. I am an elementary music teacher with 16 years of classroom music teaching experience. 🎹 Each class will consist of the following: -vocal exploration exercises -singing games and fingerplays -steady beat practice -nursery rhymes and rhythm practice -listening and ear training/aural development -creating/composing music and lyrics Students will receive supplemental song sheets and activity pages for fun extra practice in between classes, and can also watch the class playback at any time! 🪇 Music practice at this age, through fun and exploration, sets the tone for future instrumental and vocal study. Students in my weekly classes will develop the foundational skills necessary to thrive as lifelong musicians. 🎻 For samples of my class content, check out @beachplummusic on socials 🎶 I hope to see you in class! 🥰
Learning Goals
Students will practice keeping a steady beat, using their singing voices, reading and repeating simple rhythms, and other age level-appropriate music skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Hello! My name is Tara and I am a music teacher and mom in Florida, USA. I have been a school music teacher and private lesson instructor for 15 years, and I love what I do! I currently teach early childhood music at a K-8 school, as well as individual lessons in voice, guitar, piano, and ukulele. I also conduct a children's choir in my home community.
I have a Master of Music Education and Bachelor of Music Education, both from Florida State University. I have taught Pre-K through 12th grade music full time in Florida and Massachusetts schools, and hold teaching certificates in both states. I am proud that my educational background is focused on pedagogy, not just performance.
I believe that music is for every child, and every child is musical. There is a common misconception that musical ability is something people either have or "don't." Music can be taught and learned, just like any skill. Every child has music to share, and I want to help them nurture it. Music lessons are never "one size fits all" -- I am always creating instructional materials that suit the needs and interests of a particular student.
I would love to get to know your child and make music together. If there is a music class you would like to see offered, or if you would like to set up a class time that is not currently scheduled, please send me a message!Reviews
