I have been teaching music to children since 2008. I have my Master of Music in Music Education from Capital University with a Kodály Emphasis. I also have an early childhood First Steps in Music certificate from the University of Hartford. I have taught many workshops on how to teach music to children, and I teach teacher's in the graduate programs at DePaul University and James Madison University.

宿題が提供されます
Students will also be given two age-appropriate short assignments each week. One of the assignments will be sent to the teacher (Examples: worksheet, video of performance, interactive Google Slides game). I will monitor these assignments and give feedback. Students can also interact with each other about their performances. The other assignment will be an optional at-home assignment. It will be given as an "Ask Me" sheet. Parents and families will be encouraged to ask their children directed questions about topics discussed. Homework assignments will take about 10 minutes a week.
