Join fellow Star Wars fans in learning to play the Main Theme song to Star Wars.

Students must have prior piano knowledge and be able to read notes on the staff. The teacher will assist students with any new notes or rhythms throughout the class. The piece of music must be purchased as an "instant download" on sheetmusicplus.com so that we all have the same music to learn. Students will play with both hands learning the melody and accompaniment. Class 1- Includes sight-reading the music and learning any new concepts not previously learned in piano lessons Class 2- Students will come with the piece practiced over the week and we will work to polish and perfect.

Michelle Wheeler grew up with a passion for music in any form. With the encouragement of her band teachers she flourished as a flautist and continued on after high school to complete her Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Regina. In her desire to continue her education she studied flute with Marie-Noelle Berthelet at the University of Regina to complete her Masters of Music Performance. She has trained in Music for Young Children, Kindermusik, and is working towards Level 1 certification in KinderFlute and Blocki Flute methods.
Currently Michelle is an active learner and is enjoying working with a community of piano teachers and professors to learn and share strategies for teaching piano to beginners. Michelle will complete her certification through the Royal Conservatory of Music as an elementary piano specialist in December. The basis of this intensive course is to work with top piano pedagogues and learn techniques and strategies to make her students well rounded and successful. Though already an accomplished piano and flute teacher in her own right, Michelle is always wanting to learn more and share ideas with others to give students the best possible experience.
