Private Piano Lessons
Subject: Piano
My lessons begin with the fundamentals of music. I believe a firm foundation
in rhythm and reading is important because a student may switch musical
instruments one day and the basics are universal and necessary. I have a deep
love and appreciation for music which I hope to instill in my students as well.
I am strict in the sense that I like students to polish their pieces before
moving on. I like to keep them focused on playing well, not just playing.
A typical lesson will begin with scales to warm up, a review of the previous
week's material, and a new assignment. Students will memorize pieces, be
proficient in scales and rhythms, and all the while laughing and having a great
time. I am known with my students for my creative analogies and flexibility to
try new things in order to adapt to the students strengths and weaknesses. My
students look forward to coming to their lesson, and that is very rewarding as
a teacher.
I primarily use the Suzuki method for Violin and Viola, because it offers
progressive steps to mastering technique, style, and musicality. My curriculum
includes the use of Winning Rhythms, Wohlfahrt studies, All for Strings Theory,
Essentials for Strings, and many more beginner and advanced studies; including shifting
and double stops.
I love music and I love working with people; teaching is just icing on the
cake. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals and discover your
talents and I hope we can learn together. I look forward to meeting you!

My
Experienced, Patient, and Personalized Violin, Viola, Cello, and Piano instruction for ages 3 and up
My
name is Erin. I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina
at Charlotte. I
have a Bachelor of Arts in Music, with a concentration in Violin. I began studying
violin at the age of six. I have performed with small chamber ensembles,
orchestras, quartets, and trios. I enjoy playing for churches and weddings, and
love teaching.
I
have taught beginner to advanced Violin and Viola for eight years in NC before moving to California in 2008. Since moving to California I have extended my teaching to beginner Piano and Cello also. I have
taught students ages 3 to 87 how
to play and enjoy music on a personal level. My experience includes leading
sectionals for middle school orchestra, organizing and instructing small ensembles,
and organizing student recitals. Student recitals I arranged once or twice a
year to showcase the students' growth and abilities, and to provide an
opportunity to give back to family and friends whose sacrifices and support
enable the students to succeed.
I
teach because I love music and I believe God has given me a gift. Playing and teaching
help me to use my talent for His glory. I love working with people and I love
how music enables people of all ages to open up and express themselves in a
positive way, no matter what life throws their way. I believe music teaches
discipline, builds self esteem; helps set and achieve goals; and positively
affects and enhances other curricular endeavors.
My
teaching philosophy is to always have fun while learning, to set attainable
goals for the student, to learn through encouragement and discipline, and to
help students come to love music on a personal level. I focus on the character
of each student and their goals and desires to see that the student and/or
parents are satisfied. Teaching is a privilege for me that I do not take for
granted.
