In this three week class, we will prepare a holiday program with three songs that your student can present to friends and family. We will be learning "Hot Cup of Cocoa," "Sleigh Ride" and "Frosty the Snowman." Students will be given links to purchase accompaniment tracks from Apple Music ($.99 each) for their performance. We will learn the songs in small pieces and color pictures that will help us remember the words. Week 1: Learn "Hot Cup of Cocoa" and vote on the ugliest sweater picture. Start learning "Sleigh Ride" Week 2: Finish learning "Sleigh Ride" and vote on the best sledding wreck gif. Start learning "Frosty the Snowman." Week 3: Finish learning "Frosty the Snowman."

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am excited to be bringing some singing, musicianship, and core curriculum classes to Outschool. I hold a Ph.D. in Music Composition from the University of Utah and some prior degrees and training: a Masters, a Bachelor, and Kodaly training. I have logged over 2,000 hours as an online music tutor and ESL teacher over the last three years and before that, I taught music theory and musicianship at two universities, one high school, and two music businesses over a 15 year period. I also work as a freelance composer writing instrumental and opera music. One of my main gigs is writing and musically producing children's operas for the Utah Opera Outreach Program. I get to visit schools and compose with kids, then take their melodies home and produce accompaniment music. These songs help students retain information so easily and I love singing about science, math, and social studies!
I have practiced my internet-lesson-attention-keeping-finesse with hundreds of students ages four to sixteen and have methods that work for each age group. I have three kids of my own, aged 8-13. One son was diagnosed with high functioning autism and another with ADHD, so I understand that not all children learn the same way. No matter your child's abilities, I will try to make your child smile at least once each lesson.
Even though I hold a Ph.D., I'm still very much a kid at heart and approach the classroom with a sense of humor and whimsy. The most important thing I want to instill in my students is confidence in their ability to learn.
I hope to see you in the classroom! Reviews
