A Little Bit About Me...

I teach private lessons and have had the experience of working with hundreds of students ranging from beginners with no experience to advanced players. Fun and patient piano teacher with more than 21 years of experience. I have studied, performed and taught music over 18 years. I like to focus on music theory and reading skills, in addition to developing musicality from the first lesson.
I am the member of MTAC and prepare students for the California Certificate of Merit. My teaching philosophy is based in the belief that learning music should be fun and exciting! I always encourage my students to pursue the kind of music that they find most appealing, rather than using the same curriculum and method book. I go to my students In all over Orange county , but in Huntington beach or Anaheim will be only on weekends. Thank you

Need Piano Lessons?

I am a 19 year old college student who is living in Murrieta for the next few summer months, and attends Cal State Fullerton. I have taken piano lessons for over 11 years now, and have a few years experience in teaching/tutoring in piano. My major concentration in college is Studio Art, and have also had experience in teaching art classes through M.A.D. Studio. Through experience in college and high school, I am also very familiar with Microsoft Office programs, and have helped those who are struggling in the newer editions of these MS programs.
My teaching style is not entirely concrete, for I feel that it depends on the maturity of the student and willingness to learn the subject at hand. I am very patient when I need to be, and my main goal is to simply make sure each student walks away knowing what they needed to learn.

Learning can be fun!!

When tutoring, I strive to make lessons engaging, effective and enjoyable. Specifically, I tailor lessons according to an individual student's needs and involve students in a dialogue by asking questions that provoke thought, conversation, and perhaps humor. Because facts and figures are easily looked up in the information age, I place particular emphasis on thinking and on "learning how to learn". My teaching goals for any student are threefold: 1. learn the material (well!) 2. pass the test/subject (with a comfortable margin!), and 3. enjoy it (most challenging with math!).
I love learning and teaching alike. My first teaching experience was in high school when I helped teach inner city children how to swim. Following high school, I earned a bachelor's degree in genetics at UC Berkeley, during which time I worked as a teacher's assistant for a genetics professor. While in m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

First, the students must be eager to learn; second, must enjoy their lesson time; and do not need coaxing to practice. Many of my former students and their familes are still in touch, after forty years! Also, the teacher must be likable and admired--in which case the students are eager to please and will do their best. I believe strongly in a friendly and patient approach in order to achieve maximum results. The students will feel that they are having fun with their music; and their progress will give them confidence in themselves.
Have been teaching for over 15 years: Piano/Organ/Accordion-- classical, pop, religious music--beginners to advanced. Piano solo videos at: www.trinity hemet.org (Edie's Page). Experience and training in composition, concert recitals, piano bar/party entertainment, and theory. Have trained over 200 students, all levels. New studio in my home, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching all children. I’m skilled at matching my teaching methods to each child’s abilities and making learning fun. I am available to help your child find academic or musical success. I’m patient and easy going, but make sure children finish their work. I use an incentive system to reward hardworking students and share their successes with their parents. As a music teacher, I instruct children in classical and jazz, music theory, sight reading, ear-training techniques and keyboard skills. I model playing techniques and hold family recitals so children gain performance experience and their parents can share their musical growth with others. I use age appropriate games to teach basic skills so that my students progress more quickly.
I think education is crucial to life’s success. Earning 2 degrees has given me lots of writing/reading experience, and knowledge of music perfo ... read more

Having a love and appreciation for good education, I received my BS in Business Administration with an emphasis in accounting, and my MBA, both from accredited universities. For a short time just after college I taught beginning piano lessons and typing. For 18 years I worked as a portfolio manager in an investment firm, where I actively used my business math and accounting skills to analyze investment and account level performance. I’ve homeschooled my own children from kingergarten through 4th grade, working as a teaching assistant in a private school for one year. I have recently and successfully passed the CBEST and the CSET with high marks on both. My favorite subjects to teach are reading and math.
It is my firm belief that a strong education is one of the keys to success in life, and that success in learning is a precursor to success in almost any other endeavor. Howev ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I always enjoy working with children. Each child has unique skills, needs, and background and I try to adjust my teaching style accordingly. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities and from diverse backgrounds and so have learned to "tune-in" to the situation at hand and improvise if need be. I am patient and yet am not afraid to push a little if the situation seems appropriate. All of the students I have worked with seemed to have benefitted by this approach. Knowledge is never crammed in from the outside but drawn out from within. Seeing the growth of interest and intelligence in the child makes me feel that I have contributed something of worth to humanity and to myself.
I have studied philosophy at UC Berkeley and UC Riverside (where I received my BA). I excel in math, science, and English. My reading, grammar and writing skills are quite storng. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching experience has been in the corporate world, where I was responsible for training and teaching employees both basics and advanced techniques in the broadcast field of advertising. My success was in preparing them for an expanded career, and many of those that I mentored over the years remain in prominent positions at some of the world's largest advertising agencies. I have excellent writing skills and interpersonal skills, am very reliable, and very organized.
All ages can benefit from tutoring. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults. I have a good sense of humor and encourage students to view the world from different angles. I am persistent and determined which means I do not give up on anyone. Learning can be entertaining and that is the best way to inspire a student to go forward with enthusiasm.

More About This Tutor...

We play word games, read out loud, discuss cartoons and ask each other questions/answers. Try to vary up the hour. I am a very patient teacher and try to assess if the student is understanding all that I am teaching. I ask plenty of questions and try to get them to communicate with me and others in the group, if it's a class situation.
I taught English as a second language to adults and children in Austria and Germany while living there (total 4 years). I speak fluent German and lived in Europe for a total of 13 years. In LA, I taught english to a number of Korean and Japanese young adults. I taught at Inlingua and WIFI Institute in Austria and at a business english school in Hamburg.
