Hello Outschool Community!
I am Lois Parris, Music Educator for 27 years experience working with people of all ages from babies to adults. I'll save the list of my credentials for last in order to keep things more interesting.

My earliest family memories center on making music and reading stories with my brothers and parents as part of our family time each day. I believe this was the birth of my dual-passions for music and literacy. I feel that everyone needs to learn to make and respond to music from the day they are born because, in doing so, we learn to process our feelings and manage our impulses. In addition, Music is the Great Community Builder! Our first community is our family so it is natural to make music together.

I offer several different types of classes/courses for you. Included are be:
- a General Music Curriculum based on the National Music Standards for learners ages 5-11.
-Recorder Karate - a motivating method for students to learn to play a recorder while practicing music literacy skills.
-Small Group Ukulele - Learners play together to practice new chords and strum patterns.
-Reading fluency classes using nursery rhymes

Some other ideas I have include things like sing-along storytimes, digital music composition and stuffed animal sing-alongs.

Be sure to click the Heart in my profile to be notified when I schedule new classes.

I look forward to seeing your learners in my classroom!

Here are my credentials:
I am a North Carolina Licensed Music Educator for Grades Kindergarten through 12th grade with 20 years experience. In addition, I am certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards as an Accomplished Teacher in the area of Early Childhood Music (ages 3-12). I currently teach Music in a North Carolina Public Elementary school. As part of my work in the public schools, I have been trained in several literacy learning techniques. I also teach private beginning and intermediate piano lessons. In times gone by, I started and managed a public library-based literacy outreach for Preschools and Daycare providers which included story-time for children and literacy training for their teachers.
