Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, and welcome to my page! I look forward to teaching your children: music, nature and / or photography! I believe that in observing nature you can also hear the sounds and trills of music with the rustling of the trees, trickling of water at a stream or bird bath and of course from all the trill's and calls of birds and the vast amount of insects as with the tymbals (drum-like organs) of the cicada's!
Before I list the classes that I teach, I would like to give a little insight of my Education and background. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education - All Level and I have taught all levels, from Pre-K to 12th grade. I began my teaching as a Band Director specializing in Bb Clarinet and have taught and currently own a Flute, Recorder, Eb Alto Saxophone and Bb Clarinet. In 1999 I moved on to teaching Elementary Music where I continued to teach many of the instruments listed above with the addition of: piano, guitar, banjo, trumpet, violin and percussion.
Upon retiring from the same School District of 34 years I continued giving private lessons at my home to present. So, I am offering music classes that will include but not limited to: Recorder, Flute, Bb Clarinet, Eb Alto Saxophone, piano, violin, guitar, banjo and percussion. My love for nature, animals and photography has flourished since retirement and I will be offering similar subjects that would include but not limited to: backyard bird feeders, humming birds, fluttering butterflies and dragonflies, crawling insects and much more!!!
I believe that given the right opportunity, every child can learn, exceed and more important, have fun doing just that. If my students / learners, are not having fun and learning at the same time then I'm not succeeding to teach with passion. I do expect politeness, energy and respect from both the learner and myself.
About my teaching surroundings and other fun sounds!!!
At any given moment, you might hear a funny sound, a loud sound, a bell clinging or someone repeating what I say or play. I have two parrots in the next room that love music, repeat rhymic patterns, count to 3, keep the same steady beat and just start having a conversation!!! Keeping my birds and I company are my kitties!!!! Never a dull moment here at my studio!!!
Looking forward to teaching your children!!!
