I have taught children preschool through high school for over 25 years. I have a Bachelor's in Music Education with an emphasis in voice, and have played piano since I was 9 years old. I enjoyed accompanying many of my fellow Music majors for their juries (finals) in college. Knowing the basics gives children the confidence to pursue their favorite instrument and that's an amazing gift. I am patient and encouraging and love to engage with my students in a very positive way. I look forward to teaching your child.
Homework Offered
If you would like for your child to go on to regular piano lessons, have them practice playing the black keys and their song every day for 10 minutes. Practice with this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/0l6I5wos0yQ to learn Hot Cross Buns. Try singing it with your child, too. That will build musical memories in his/her mind to help them memorize the piano piece.Assessments Offered
