Experience Summary
I have taught piano for the past 30 years to children and adult students. I have also been a performer as I have played piano as accompanist for High School Choir performances; I was pianist and organist at several churches for weekend services; I have played for weddings, funerals, baptisms and other services as needed. I am currently teaching piano lessons to elementary and high school students in my in-home studio.
Teaching Style
My approach to teaching involves making sure that the children are enjoying the lessons. My lessons incorporate using proper position of the hands, finger technique and proper fingering for each song, learning to read the scales, treble clef and bass clef, and applying style, musicality and expression to each song. My technique and teaching style is very engaging for my students and makes music fun!
My Hobbies
I enjoy playing piano in my free time to improve my skills and broaden my repertoire of music. I sew for enjoyment making quilts and blankets for MD Anderson Cancer patients. I love the outdoors so every opportunity that I get I go out to take pictures of landscapes and flowers that I can transmit into an acrylic or water color painting.
