Experience Summary
I have experience teaching private piano and also teaching in the classroom. I have taught music to students of all ages for the past 15 years. During this time I was able to gain experience teaching choir as well as music theory. While teaching private piano I taught beginning students and intermediate levels of students. While recertifying for the State of Michigan, I studied the teaching of reading. I gained experience in reading tutoring by applying my educational concepts with individual students. Students of different cultures enjoyed musical concerts that I directed and organized.
Teaching Style
I am interested in the success of each student. When teaching reading I would research the very best system of teaching. Each individaul reader is in need of the proper method to help with any difficulties that he or she is having. I would identify these problems and then find the most accurate way to reach that particular person. When teaching the reading I would use extra resources, such as drawings or poetry ro help the younger student to relate. With the teenager I would try to find reading materials that relate to their interests.
