About Music Lessons and Lifelong Learning Philosophy
I currently offer music lessons from my home in Oakwood Village. I am currently offering flute and piano lessons. I'm happy to chat more about music lessons and music education. Music for all ages. Music is a lifelong learning journey and discovery! Music lessons are not limited to children but adult learners too! I believe that everyone should have access to music, while breaking down barriers and perceptions at the same time. I've had great success with adult beginners, intermediate and advanced students. I also work with young kids to school aged and teens getting started on an instrument.
My Teaching Philosophy
Parents play a big role and serve as a support for kids in learning music, just like many firsts in their early years. Taking first steps, first words, holding a pencil to write their first letters, to words, sentences, and paragraphs. With parental support in the early stages, together we will help your child lay the groundwork for success in the long run! Just like when they take their first steps, learning to speak, holding a pencil to write, reading and recognizing words on the page, parents are supporting their children with regular practice to learn a new skill, and in this case a musical skill. Parents can help children set a regular practice routine, and sit down with the child to review lesson notes and lesson materials together and spend the practice time together. I will work with you and your child to create a home practice plan to lay the groundwork for success in the long term.
Parental participation and creating time and space for home practice
I recommend that parents sit in on lessons in the beginning stages to observe so that you are aware of the lesson activities that you will be helping your child with during your home practice. I will work with parents to help set up a home routine, finding the best time of day to practice, and setting small and acheivable goals for the daily practice. At each lesson and each home practice, we will keep building and adding onto the knowledge and skill we currently posess. With the help from parents, we're laying the groundwork for regularity, success and confidence in the long run.
Recommendations - Flutes and Pianos to Buy or Rent
I am more than happy to recommend flutes or pianos to buy or rent that would work well for our lessons and home practice. Please send me a message and I will send you my recommendations.
Let me know if you have any other questions! I look forward to hearing from you soon!
