Welcome!

Hello! Welcome to the summer music lessons blog! This is the place to find updates about lessons, and important information such as group lesson dates. If you have questions, or want to tell me anything, feel free to comment.

Summer is the perfect time to explore new areas. My summer music program is a great introduction to what you can do with music, and what music can do for you. It consists of eight individual lessons and three group lessons. The individual lessons are tailored to maximize learning for each student, and to cater to what the student most wants to learn. I have found that if lessons are fun and the student is excited then the practicing takes care of itself. The group lessons happen once a month and will take the place of the individual lesson for that week. At group lessons I can introduce a broader scope of music and reinforce things learned in individual lessons with games and activities. At $60 for the summer these lessons really are the most affordable around.

A foundation in piano is extremely helpful in learning how music works. I recommend learning basic piano before moving on to any other instrument. Piano is central to what I will be teaching, but my program goes beyond the scope of regular piano lessons. Among the things taught are: music theory, rhythm, conducting, hymn playing, and practicing methods. I hope to instill a love of music, and to help everyone find the area of music that fits them the best.
