Piano Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Midway, UT

My teaching style consist of using a variety of learning technique and atmospheres. It is a good idea to study the habits and styles of other composers, classical and modern to get an idea of how that compares to the student's style. Writing or composing sample songs based on someone else's style is a good idea, such as Beethoven, or David Newman, etc. Using theory practice is useful, but doesn't necessarily define a composer. Things such as chord structures, tonalities, repetition, and familiarity will be studied. We can work on solo instruments, or orchestrations of any size. Becoming familiar with certain techniques of composition will become very useful for the student, as he/she learns to express him/herself through music. Since earning my Bachelors Degree from the University of Utah in Music Composition I have produced a Christmas album of piano arrangements, and original so

I have a masters in Second Language Teaching specialty- Russian from BYU. I also served an LDS mission in Russia (Rostov-na-Donu mission) where I lived for 18 months speaking, living, and interacting with Russians every day. I have been tutoring students in Russian for 5 years and have taught Russian at BYU for 2 years. I love this language and know how to teach according to different learning styles. Every student has a different learning style and I therefore, have multiple teaching styles to accommodate. I believe in learning through experience and therefore provide my students with real-life examples and tasks to complete so that they are more able to function in Russian settings. I also include learning of Russian culture in my teaching because understanding culture is important to understanding language. Activities are engaging and not simply rote memorization.

I was a natural born musician, started playing guitar at the age of 2. Later switched to piano and took formal lessons for 7 years. I have composed scores for several plays and small projects. I still compose music to this day. I gained an interest in French when I was in middle school. From there, I learned it very quickly and continued to build on it through making French films and going on a biking excursion in France. Mon voyage était formidable et j'ai appris beaucoup! My teaching style is very open, free-flowing, interactive, and patient. I love to move beyond the theory and into the natural conversation or practice of it.

I worked at a girls scout camp as a counselor. I taught these girls many things about life and about the importance of learning and improving yourself. I have been a counselor at an elementary school and helped in the classroom. Also, I have have been a babysitter for years and helped children with school work, piano, dancing, and much more. My teaching style is to be supportive and of course helpful; but most importantly, a great listener. children will improve of they are be listened to, not always being taught to.

I enjoy teaching students of all ages, with varying learning skills. I believe education is best provided in an environment that challenges the student, and encourages growth. My ability to assist students in retention, is accomplished by helping him/her to understand underlying principles, often through examples, discovery, and comparisons. Academic progress can be gained by genuinely connecting with students. It is my goal to allow students to expand their intellectual horizons, within prescribed educational parameters, in a way that helps them reduce their personal learning curve, and advance their confidence in the subject matter. Education can be very exciting and rewarding, given the right approach. I am waiting to receive my BS diploma, after completing a course of study in Digital Media, which also included tutoring students, note taking for special needs students, and student ad

I have tutored students one-on-one, taught fourth grade overseas, and have taught first grade for the past eight years. I have taught Reading Recovery, working one-on-one with first graders on reading skills. I have also taught piano lessons. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

I have experience working with students from many different backgrounds and cultures. I find that patience, friendliness, and genuine care and concern for the student yield the greatest results. I like to take different approaches to subjects, especially when the first try is not understood very well. My ultimate goal with teaching and tutoring is to enable the student to be able to teach the subject to others. Students are able to learn best by doing. I want them to assimilate the knowledge and apply it to their daily lives. My experience in academic and service pursuits have consistently improved my education and abilities to transfer knowledge. I have earned a BA in Latin American Studies with a minor in Business Administration. My training in the sciences includes the prerequisite classes for acceptance to dental schools and extra training in cellular biology. I have particip

I believe you can only help the student learn if you are willing to take time to "bend down" to their understanding and help lift them up. As a person that easily empathizes with others, it is natural for me to take time to understand the person who I am tutoring. Through building trust with that person I can naturally help them to understand what they may be missing or not understanding. Through helping the student know that I care about their learning at a personal level I believe that they will learn to trust and the teaching/learning relationship will begin to naturally occur. As a recent graduate of BYU in Business Management (finance emphasis) I have been able to show excellence in my own school work. I have a major GPA of 3.85 (including many Accounting and Finance classes) as well as receiving a 4.0 while taking the “finance core” classes. Receiving a score of “5” on both

The hallmark of my teaching style is patience. If students do not immediately grasp a concept, I accept and relish the challenge of finding a way to reach through the barrier. I have found my greatest success is achieved when foundational concepts are built or re-built. A step-by-step approach usually works best, but I have developed great flexibility from working with students who function across a wide range of learning challenges. The early years of my experience were in the junior high setting. I taught sixth through ninth grade during this time, drawing heavily on my background strengths in theater, literature, grammar, creative writing, and my years as a legal secretary. I developed curriculum for the English department and was instrumental in launching an exploratory study system for alternative, creative learning. For the last twelve years, I have taught basic writing for the

I strive to help your child achieve academic and personal success. In my student teaching, I saw first-hand the need for students and teachers to have a relationship where fairness and mutual respect are top priorities. I also witnessed how students can feel the intention of their teachers: when teachers truly desire for their students to succeed, the students can sense this. I am committed to creating a positive relationship with your child and to let him/her know that his/her success is my main goal. When teachers have high expectations, their students consistently rise to meet them. I will set my expectations high for your child, as I believe he/she can and will meet them with the proper support and encouragement. My experience at Brigham Young University instilled in me a desire to pursue lifelong learning and to assist others in their own quest for knowledge. I earn

I graduated from the University of Utah in Piano Performance in May 2007 with a 3.79 GPA and am fluent in Spanish. I won first place in Music Theory at the University of Utah Summer Arts Piano Competition in 2005. I have been teaching private piano lessons in my home since August 2001. I am also a composer, arranger, and producer. I teach a classical base to all of my piano students. The method books Faber and Alfred are the books I use the most often. I supplement my teaching with ear training and pop music chord reading. I work with my students to achieve their musical goals whether it is to achieve a certain level of proficiency with classical performance, play a certain piece, or read from lead sheets.

I have long had a love of learning, which has most recently expressed itself in my earning a BS in Psychology from Brigham Young University. This area of study gave me experience in the fields of math and writing, as I had to perform and analyze numerous psychological experiments, which includes performing statistical calculations as well as writing reports on findings. My teaching experience began in high school, where I tutored a girl in algebra. I also spent two years in Russia as a missionary, teaching people about my faith. While there, I also held weekly English language lessons open to the public. In college, I was also a Teaching Assistant, where I gained valuable experience when I had to fill in and teach class for the professor. I believe any child can learn the basics of any subject, but it requires that the teacher find a method of explanation that the child can understand. I

I have been very successful throughout school. I'm a Presidential Scholar, Toyota Scholar, Gordon B. Hinckley Scholar, and a Chicago Tribune Scholar. I've taken a wide variety of courses at the college level and have been on the Dean's List every semester. I'm very qualified to tutor most subjects up to the college level, as well as some college level subjects. My BA is in philosophy, but I've taken one or more semesters of music, chemistry, physics, biology, computer science, history, linguistics, Russian, Chinese, economics, political science, Spanish, and anthropology. Over the past few years I've taught cello and piano lessons, logic, metalogic, and English to elementary, high school, and college students. My most important quality for tutoring is a passion for education. I believe that good learning is based in appreciating the value of the subject matter, and when I teach I

It is extremely important to encourage students. I would teach the basics to my students. To start with, piano students learn the step process in scales I am good with kids. I am willing to help them learn what they need to at their pace. I am patient, considerate, and I long to help others succeed in the areas that interest them. Students will also learn how to follow the music they play, whether it is a simple time signature, (for example, four-four,) or compound such as six-eight. My experience with teaching piano lessons started in September 2006. I took Group Piano I, and Group Piano II the following semester. The students taught someone what was covered in each class. My first full-time student came at the end of the fall semester 2008. It was my first time teaching and getting paid. I evaluated how I did with teaching him after the six months.
