Homework
1-2 hours per week. Weekly practice time will vary from 20 minutes a week to 2-3 hours a week, depending upon the students ability.Assessment
There will not be formal assessments. Student progress will be assessed each week as they play what they have practiced for the teacher.Class Experience
In this private, one on one lesson, students will learn to play the piano at their own pace. I have taught students ranging from beginners to advanced for almost 20 years. Students will learn to read music, play scales, play pieces of music that match their ability, and learn about the technical aspects of music. Students will be assigned pieces to practice each week and are expected to spend time practicing outside of class. Weekly practice time will vary from 20 minutes to 2-3 hours a week, depending on the student's ability. During lessons, students will play the pieces they were assigned from the previous week, work with the teacher to improve their playing, and learn new concepts.

Hello! My name is Mrs. Clarissa. I am a mom of 5, a bookworm, and a certified, experienced in-person and online teacher. I believe in learning through fun and play! I love seeing my students learn and grow as they discover new things on their own. I believe that the most important part of school is learning how to learn and learning to love learning! Once those two goals are met, students can learn anything they want.
I have taught online classes for 6 years and have learned how to engage students virtually. It has been a wonderful experience and I love the opportunity to reach out to kids from all over the world and learn from each other!
I earned a degree in elementary education from Brigham Young University in 2009. My life has been dedicated to helping kids learn and grow.
I also LOVE books! There are bookcases in every room of my house and I wish I had more. I enjoy reading fantasy books and discussing them with my kids and my husband. We all especially love Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I also enjoy reading with my littles. Our favorites are Elephant and Piggie and Mother Bruce.Reviews
