About Me

Experience Summary

I have taught PK- Exceptional student education for 10 years, K-12 music for 15 years, private piano for 25 years, private guitar for 10 years, private voice for 10 years and have also taught regular kindergarten, first grade and 6th grade, I am teaching Spanish now and I am bilingual (reading, writing and speaking). I have lived and taught school in Wisconsin, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Honduras, Guatemala, Bolivia and Florida, in that order. i have also written music curriculums, and curriculum for teaching preschool multihandicapped children, and have been a home visitor for severely multihandicapped infants and preschoolers. My most recent experience in the past 15 years has been as a school music teacher where I was responsible for putting on programs for Christmas, Mother's Day, Halloween, Spring concerts, Graduations, Musicals, and honor roll assemblies. I have been private teacher of piano and voice and guitar for 25, 10 and 10 years respectively. I currently teach music in a K-8 Catholic School as well as a K-8 Christian School in Naples,Florida. I have a BS in Education and an MS in Child Development and have many certifications. I am well qualified to work with your student.

Teaching Style

*Any child can learn. Find out what the gems are in each child and help to polish them. I like to work with private students. Reach the child where he is. Know their personality. Make them comfortable. Be punctual, be happy. Be consistent. Be open to new ideas without lowering your standards. Be about excellence. Help each child reach his/her potential in a POSITIVE and NURTURING way.

My Hobbies

I love to swim and swim laps 3 to 4 times a week. I have been golfing since I was a child and have even won golf trophies in the US and in South America. I enjoy the game. I love also to watch great old movies--especially the musical ones. They lift my spirit and I learn so much from them.

Other Comments

A child is like a mine full of gems. Your job as a teacher is to help the child find out what those gems are and to help the child polish those gems. The mind is our supreme talisman. We must develop our minds. Music can help us to develop skills--not only in music but in almost any other subject as well. It is the only intelligence that includes all of the other "intelligences" at the same time. You can learn at any age. Stay young, stay focussed, become all you can be, enjoy life--it is for the living! Be grateful, always grateful.

Subject Commentary

Guitar Proficiency: Experienced
I have played guitar for over 30 years, can teach First Year guitar with high proficiency and get you started with second year guitar. I teach you how to read the guitar music (not just tabs). I am comfortable teaching 6year olds to adult on guitar.
Piano Proficiency: Expert
I have played piano for over 40 years and have been a piano teacher for over 25 years. I studied classical piano but am comfortable with church music, broadway, pop, soft rock, and country and some jazz standards as well. I love teaching beginners and intermediate students and can take students to high level classical pieces. Some of my students started at the age of 3 and are still with me a few years later. I am consistent, and understanding, patient and warm. I use excellent methods and teach theory, technique,Hanon, performance, scales, and music for special occasions.
Spanish Proficiency: Experienced
I have lived outside the US in Latin America for over 20 years. I studied Spanish in HS and college and have been a Spanish teacher for 2 years. I am fluent in reading, writing and speaking Spanish. I teach individual or small group language classes.
Vocals Proficiency: Experienced
I have been a vocal coach since the 1990's and have helped students get ready to star in their HS musicals, do a great job with an audition for a special group, get ready to sing in a recital, sing a solo for a Christmas program, and just get their voices properly trained through popular, religious, movie, musical, jazz standards, folk and country and even Italian arias. I use excellent methods not known to all and have had excellent success at voice training.
