A Little Bit About Me...

I have always enjoyed playing the piano. And I took extreme satisfaction from teaching piano. I would sit beside them while they played the pieces I had assigned to them to practice since the previous lesson. If they had problems or questions about something, I was there to help. We'd talk and laugh, and I hoped they learned through it all. Above all, I never wanted to yell at them or berate them, because I knew they'd never learn if they felt pressured or thought I was there only to critize them. While I don't think I ever had any junior Beethovens, I'd like to think there are several people out there now who still enjoy sitting down at a piano every now and then to play something.
I have a non-teaching BA degree in English. I spent all 4 college years working on my college newspaper, and two years after graduation working for a local newspaper. My job responsibilities incl ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked as a music teacher for 10 years, and I spent one year working as a Title I paraprofessional. As a music teacher, my focus is on music literacy and appreciation. I strongly believe that every child has the right to a quality music education. As a Title I para, I worked with individual and small groups of K-6 students in the areas of reading, writing, and math.
A wonderful characteristic of music is that learning and experiencing music addresses all three main learning styles--visual, aural, and kinesthetic. Students enjoy my class, and it is wonderful to see what they remember long after they have been in my class. I also enjoy working with talented and gifted students to help them realize their potential.

More About This Tutor...

As a business woman of 24 years, I have gained valuable experiences in many different sectors; banking, customer service, marketing, sales, public relations and teaching. I excel in the Marketing/PR field which entails most of the jobs I have held. I also like teaching children. Most of my teaching has been with grades K-8 which I really enjoy. During my years of private piano teaching, I learned so much from the students as far as "teach the child the subject, not teach a subject to a child." Each child is unique and different. I love capturing their attention using fun learning methods.
My teaching style is laid back and comfortable. I like to use flash cards, fun games, and rhyming teachniques. I think children have to like their teacher to do well. Many of my former students have kept in contact with me over the years.. being invited to their graduations, weddings and other ... read more

Prior to playing professionally and continuing since then I have enjoyed teaching students as young as 4 students on through college reach their musical goals. I believe that music is music whether it be a Beethoven sonata, or a Bill Evans jazz transcription the same beauty, technique and drive for success is necessary for both. (Beginners) Method book, solfege singing, listening (Intermediate) music theory, simple classical literature (cleminti, Chopin nocturne (Eb)), some use of contemporary music Advanced students continue in more difficult classical pieces (Bach inventions/preludes/fugues), students at this level may also begin to study jazz and/or forms of contemporary music if they so desire.
I have 4 years experience playing classical, jazz and top 40's as a pianist/vocalist for Gregory's Restaurant (Dayton, OH) I have 6 years experience leading a contemporar ... read more
