Marie Z - Beaumont, TX 77708 (19.2 mi) - Piano Tutor - $37.50/hr.

I usually start off with ear training exercises because as a musician this is a must have skill. Then we go over basic aspects of music such as rhythm or basic chords. Eventually, after enough has been learned, I make the class more challenging and try to get the student to think in many different ways and allow them to be flexible with their minds as well.
