Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a patient, and kind teacher, with a background in Music and Teaching. I have a lot of passion for music and look for different ways to make piano fun to learn. I also am currently enrolled in my 7th year in a class that teaches you to be a better speaker and teacher. This class has helped me to gain patience, to reach a person's heart, and to be efficient in my teaching abilities. I can be a bit goofy sometimes, but the kids seem to really like that. I am also a homeschooling mother of a and I understand how important it is that our children are enjoying learning. I am all for NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND... and THAT INCLUDES THE ONES THAT ARE AHEAD. I feel that children need to be met on different levels; some require more time, and some require more challenges. I will go at their pace. I don't mind extra work to reach someone's heart. I hope that you let me help you to teach your child...
When teaching Piano, I use fun games, and a lot of drawing on the board, teaching them how to find free resources to help them play songs that they love. NO BOOKS ALLOWED. ha ha. I do not use books in my teaching. I was a child who quit piano because it was so boring, and I don't want that for my students... I like to teach them to play songs...and learn technique later...when they aren't looking, I sneak it in there. My goal is to keep them loving learning the piano.
I have also taken courses in ASL in order to help those in our deaf community to learn the different things that I teach.... I have been teaching ASL for a couple of years now, and have had great success with the kids learning it quickly. I think that by including them in the learning process of not only learning the ABC's, but learning to spell their names, it helps it to sink in faster.
