Beginner Level
This 8 week Self-paced course is designed for the younger learner. It is a very basic introduction to musical concepts. No musical background is required for this course to enroll. We will cover the fundamentals of music and each lesson will include an instructional video with an attached draw along craft. Each lesson will also have worksheets and study tools to practice the musical concepts taught. The class as a whole usually takes 4-8 weeks to complete depending on your learner. These activities will be geared towards younger learners in the form of games, flashcards and play dough mats. It is my hope that young are able to get a foundation and understanding for music fundamentals. This class has no live meetings. Self paced courses give students the opportunity to rewatch and really soak in new concepts. I am available for questions or comments every week and will be giving feedback every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Learning Goals
Students will learn basic music theory concepts.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Parents and Learners- and welcome to my online learning space! My name is Edin and I am a singer and musician. I have dedicated most of my life to learning about music and the voice.
I have a B.A. in vocal performance from the University of New Mexico. Over the past ten years, I have enjoyed singing as a paid Soprano section leader at a local cathedral, as well as several other professional choirs. These positions have given me the opportunity to sing in some of the most wonderful spaces around the world. I have also had the opportunity to teach many children’s choirs, both in academic and private settings. In addition to singing professionally, I also spent much of my college life working as a nanny, where I was able to engage in lots of creative projects incorporating music, art, nature, and technology. I have taught ESL and Music online for the last seven years.
I absolutely love teaching voice, piano, and ukulele, and have been giving private lessons for the last twelve years. Throughout my journey, I have taught many students from all levels and backgrounds. I believe it is important for learning to take place in a safe and welcoming environment, so students are not only free to be themselves, but also free to make mistakes and experiment with their instruments. Learning styles and special interests are always considered when planning classes as I engage students in activities that allow them to be creative, confident, flexible, and work cooperatively with others.
When I’m not teaching, most of my time is spent gardening, crafting, cooking, and making music with my husband and two kids. We love spending time in the sunshine with our chickens or watching a good movie with our two cuddly cats.
I am so excited to meet your learners and help them grow creatively. See you in the Classroom!
