My comments on tutoring Piano : I graduated on December 16th, 2011 from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore with a bachelors degree in Music Education with Cum Laude Honors (3.4 GPA).

My teaching style varies on how I feel the student will learn best. Sometimes that may be through demonstration, others though sound. Some students read music better while others learn better through rote.
I student taught for sixteen weeks from August 22nd, 2011 thru December 2nd, 2011. My first eight weeks I worked at a middle school and taught symphonic band, beginner band, and private lessons. During these eight weeks, I gained much experience working with students at all levels and abilities and reached the potential of every student to the best I could. My next eight weeks I worked with elementary students at three different schools. This was a great experiece because I built the foundation of some many future musicians and was able to teach students on multiple instruments with various teaching strategies.

Spreading knowledge across the world

I'm more of a hands on and visual teacher. I prefer to show than to read because many ideas can come from one sentence. I learn more by drawing out or actually seeing what my teacher is trying to convey.
I am a 17 year old female who has so much talent to share with the people around me. I'm apart of a community service club, I play a variety of instruments, and from my experiences I've gained a lot of wisdom. I may not be certified with a piece of paper to show, but who said that in order to spread knowledge you had to have graduated and attended college? All in all I aim to please and I give 100% because 99 1/2 won't do.

Piano is one of my top subjects! I can teach beginner through advanced.

I opened my own studio in 2003. I teach children through adults on piano, keyboard, flute and voice. I graduated in 2011 with a BA in Music with a minor in Art History. I have gone to workshops with Musikgarten. In 2012 my son graduated from University of Md- Baltimore county with a BA in Music and joined my studio. He teaches violin, viola, steel drum and drums.
I believe that anyone can learn regardless of age. I teach from the Thompson series with additional books in Theory. I also use other books other than the series to give experience in the different genres. A brief History of Music is introduced.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching individuals of all ages and cultures. I adopt a hands on approach to learning and have extreme patience for slower learners. My main goal during teaching is to help one have a better understanding of the subject by relating to the material. To reach this goal it is imperative that I am resourceful enough to provide my students with vital and accurate information.
During high school I interned in a first grade classroom for one year in which I planmed/taught lessons. I also have young siblings and family members which I help with assignments on a daily basis. In college, I tutored students taking various Psychology courses. I enjoy conducting research, reading scientific articles, analyzing and interpreting data.

A Little Bit About Me...

When I teach, I want the students to feel comfortable asking me questions or approaching me. I'm not afraid of trying different approaches to make my student become a better learner and absorb the material in a better way.
After graduating from the University of Massachusetts with a BS in Chemistry, I have continued pursuing different research interests. I have an excellent knowledge of General and Organic Chemistry. I also am a native speaker of French and am able to speak and write it fluently. I am currently pursuing a Pharmacy Technician Certification position in order to apply to become a Pharmacist in the near future.

I value and respect the idea of teaching and imparting education. I feel that consideration and empathy are very important factors in teaching. I also feel that respecting your students opinion and trying understand from his/ her perspective in order to teach them better is a very important aspect I admire and practise. A worth of teaching is only understood when the student is being able to give full justice to what he is taught. I have had unpleasant experience of bad teaching hence I will strive to make sure that my students are not effected with any bad form of education.
I have developed a strong respect and the importance of education from my family. I have a post graduate degree in Finance but I also intend to have an interdisciplinary approach in my career and education, which is why I am studying Engineering Management and Information systems.

More About This Tutor...

I believe in having fun while mastering the basic piano skills. I’m detail-oriented, patient and creative. I simplify directions and provide concrete examples. I modify my lessons to suit the various learning styles of my students. I developed an easy piano method for “musically challenged” students who want to learn to play the piano, but face circumstances preventing them from learning the traditional way—a learning-disability, a short attention span, fine-motor skill difficulties, a lack of energy to practice the traditional way, or simply finding oneself in a busy season in life with no time for full-blown piano lessons.
I’ve studied at Kawai School of Music, Sony Piano Academy, and under Ken Ogiso of Yamaha Piano Co. I’ve been personally trained by Jane Bastien of the “Bastien Piano Basics” series. I have 16 years of experience teaching piano to students from 4 to 5 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Students of all ages are welcomed in my world...from beginners to the senior citizen who wants to learn more. I strive to make the learning fun and exciting by finding what works for the student as an individual. They are not all alike and because of this, I find that "cookie cutter" style teaching doesn't work. If something doesn't work one way, I try to find another way to achieve the same goal. Rather than my playing a new piece for the student, I ask that the student TRY it themselves first....breaking it down into small pieces so that it doesn't overwhelm them at first run through. For the student who thinks they CAN'T, I tell them, "can't lives on WON'T street." Helping the student discover that they CAN is my concept of teaching.
As an older student returning to complete my degree, I was driven to achieve my goal. I worked while completing my education and this gave me a b ... read more
