your child struggling in school? Music will help them learn

I've been playing music since I was 14. I taught myself how to play every brass instrument plus tenor/alto saxophone. By the time I was ready for college I had several options thanks to band. Music has helped open so many doors for me and I would love to spread my knowledge to your child and help them to achieve their goals! Music can also help your child in other subjects they might have trouble concentrating in. So not only will your child come out playing their instrument better but their class work will improve too!
I specialize in teaching children 6-12 but can just about show anyone how to play an instrument. I start with teaching them to read music and then we graduate to learning to play music.

More About This Tutor...

Because each student has a unique personality and way he learns, I believe in making lesson plans that will draw in the different types of learners: hands on, experience, visual, and aural. When I teach individual students, I can find out what that student needs in order to learn the best, and I teach to her strengths and work through her weaknesses. All students deserve to understand what is going on in the classroom and I firmly believe in individual help. My approach also includes student interaction in which the students have a voice and opinion on class experiences. I believe that this approach helps students think outside the box and teaches them to have an opinion and to think critically.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have wanted to be a teacher all my life. I love working with children and teaching. I believe that children are the future and should be given the opportunity to do well and succeed in school. I like to do my best to teach students how to do something and then let them discover and practice how to do it for themselves on their own. I feel that providing good instruction and then being there to assist when needed is the best way for students to learn. I also understand that all students learn differently, so I would include the student in determining what strategies work best for him or her.
Since graduating from Northern Illinois University, I have had several experiences teaching children at the elementary and middle school age. I was a nanny for a family of three for a year right after graduating. It was a wonderful experience and gave me the opportunity to create my own ... read more
