Private Instruction?

Welcome to the joy of music. This brochure will explain the importance of music, scheduling, fees, and a little about myself.

Music instills self-discipline. It incorporates both math and reading. Being and art, music stimulates creativity, logic, order, imagination, and evokes emotion. A musician cannot function on playing notes on a printed page alone, but has to use all senses to perform music with spirit.

My teaching philosophy uses standard teaching methods along with my own personal pedagogy. Sight reading, ear training, individualized assessment, and performance techniques are essential in order to be a competent musician. Most importantly, a fun atmosphere is essential for young students to enjoy music.

Scheduling

Lessons are weekly, usually running 30-40 minutes. Times are arranged in the afternoon/evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Lessons are currently being taught at Holy Cross Catholic Church.

Summer Lessons

Lessons are taught in the summer upon request. Summer lessons are a more relaxed environment. It is important for new students to continue lessons year round so that the pupil will not lose any information taught during the school year.
