A wonderful characteristic of music is that learning and experiencing music addresses all three main learning styles--visual, aural, and kinesthetic. Students enjoy my class, and it is wonderful to see what they remember long after they have been in my class. I also enjoy working with talented and gifted students to help them realize their potential. I have worked as a music teacher for 10 years, and I spent one year working as a Title I paraprofessional. As a music teacher, my focus is on music literacy and appreciation. I strongly believe that every child has the right to a quality music education.

Prior to playing professionally and continuing since then I have enjoyed teaching students as young as 4 students on through college reach their musical goals.

My compassionate teaching style will be tailored specifically to the student at the level he or she is at. It is essential to make this experience fun, challenging, rewarding and a feeling of accomplishment. A child’s musical development may require a bit more attention span, overcoming the frustration of failures of early technique abilities, mood swings and other areas. Adult learners may wish to learn specific songs, or special techniques. In either example I would customize the appropriate teaching skills for the specific student. A good teacher can make the student’s learning experience enjoyable with a sense of accomplishment. My role is to allow these feelings to emerge, and the instruction to reach these goals. I have circled myself with music my entire life. I began playing clarinet at age ten, and during my college years I studied music theory and composition while majo

My teaching style is laid back and comfortable. I like to use flash cards, fun games, and rhyming teachniques. I think children have to like their teacher to do well. Many of my former students have kept in contact with me over the years.. being invited to their graduations, weddings and other parties. I made a very good impression on them...as most often teachers can be forgotten as the years go by. I try to make learning fun and I like to incorporate color and coloring to work sheets and assignments. I am very creative.

As a student in a four year college, I have applied myself to every singe subject that there was to conquer. In some areas I shined, but it some areas I had difficulties. But at the end of the day I was learning from the best and took in all that I could, in order to continue my education, pass on the knowledge to my future children, and finally use education as a source to progress in our civilization. During my college years I was able to participate in study groups and help out fellow students in some subjects, (if they had difficulties understanding). College courses such as Writing, Reading, Art, Music, Business, Science, and Math gave me a well rounded educational experience and development as a student. I am firm believer in dynamic education, where each student is considered individually from every single point of stand. Each child/student is unique, and because of that he/she

Gaining and sharing knowledge has been a driving force throughout my life. Literacy is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children. Having taught grade levels from preschool to adulthood, I know that everyone learns in their own unique manner and at their own time. My experiences span not only various age groups but different subjects as well,including math, algebra, biology, history, literature, Spanish, grammar, reading/phonics, study skills, and beginning dance. I have taught in the classroom for 11 years and tutored for over 20 years. I match my teaching style to the learning style of each individual. My first session with the student is when I can determine whether their learning style is visual, audial, tactile, kinesthetic or a combination of these. I then write a prescription of study with the student that include several objectives and a timeline to achieve these g
