Programs For All Ages!
Strings Program
I offer private lessons on Violin (traditional & electric) to ages 4 and up, and we have FUN! As a former "Suzuki kid" myself, I have made it my life's passion to do what I can to increase diversity in Strings. I developed additional elements that have leveled the playing field for learning the Suzuki Violin Method including offering lessons at a lower market rate, supporting working families with parent workshops, and building an instrument library for student rentals. Acoustic violin students learn technique using the Suzuki Violin method with my 20-yr tested implementation which incorporates note reading, music theory, and playing other genres. *Electric violin students must have playing experience and must have their own electric instrument and amp. Private lessons are available upon request and subject to availability. Top students from my program may be selected for "The Blue Notes" ensemble, with eligibility for participation in my web series as well as commercials, TV, and film auditions.
PPiano Program
I offer private traditional piano lessons to students ages 4 and up, as well as ADULTS! Having been a former piano student myself, I have designed a teaching method that increases self-confidence, encourages performance, and is overall FUN! All beginner to intermediate students learn using the Alfred's piano method books. Preschool-Kindergarten students learn using the "Music for Little Mozarts" series, 1st-4th grade students use the "All-In-One" series, 5th grade and up use the "Basic Library" series, and adults learn using the "Adult All-In-One" series. Once students have mastered note reading, rhythm notation, and fingering techniques and completed beginner level books, I transition them to the John Thompson's series for building repertoire and intermediate to advanced technique. All instructional books are available on Amazon!
