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).

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been involved with youth since completing Bible College in 1978. I have two grown children who both completed college (my daughter cum laud in chem; University of Kentucky). I also have two step children; ages 12 and 10. I have been a qualified substitute teacher for the last 4 years, so have a working knowledge of state standards for all subjects; especially math.
My "ace in the hole" in teaching is the fact that I care for students and they know it. I do make it well known that I am there to teach; not be their friend (or their parent!). I typically set the limits, introduce the lesson, focus on learning the content, and be attentive to individual needs. Assessment is done through answering and asking questions. Also, reviewing and an extended assighnment is used to reinforce learning. My overall goal as a teacher is to guide a student to be an independent learner ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 better appreciation for that education. My teaching skills were honed while working with middle school children in the public school system and as a private piano and voice teacher. Experiences in the church setting further added to the experience that has made me a better business person and teacher. I maintained a large number of students in private practice as well as in an educational center setting. As a member of the National Piano Teacher's Guild, my student consistently scored in the excellent category when competing in the annual Guild Auditions.
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 ... read more
