Meet the Teacher

Hi! I'm Elizabeth Shearouse!

Welcome to my MYC webpages! To visit me here again, please remember my URL: www. myc.com/teacher/ eshearouse. You can also find me using the "Search for a Teacher" tool under "Teaching Locations".

My goal as a Music for Young Children teacher is to lay a solid, complete foundation for piano playing and music making for every student. I want my students to find delight in making music and to be able to incorporate it into many areas of life. In addition, I seek to establish correct piano playing habits so that students who continue in private piano lessons after MYC will be poised for success.

 

I have a very high student return rate. I do my best to keep EVERY parent and student happy with lessons and practicing. I do not give up easily on students, and will work to get to the root of any problems your child may have so that they can be solved.

My qualifications include the ARCT in Piano Performance with RCM (first class honours), and completion of all requirements for the ARCT in Piano Pedagogy with RCM. I have won various teaching awards, including the Silver Medal for Intermediate Piano Pedagogy and the CFMTA memorial pedagogy award. I have been teaching since 2004 and am a member of the Registered Music Teachers' Association.

Please see my pages "Check the Schedule" and "Find out the cost" for details on upcoming classes.

"Hi Elizabeth, as you know, you are our first ever music teacher, but you have quickly and effortlessly become the star of our family. Yesterday afternoon, I had to pretend to be you while Jana played her instruments. (Jana said ---- "You ‘tend to be Miss Lizbeth") She told anyone that would listen how to properly hold the sticks and bells and actually would like set of bells for Christmas. The boys can't stop talking about you . . . We aren’t going to have a keyboard until we move at the end of the month, so Matthew has made plans to visit our musically-motivated friends so he can have his practice time. It is so neat to watch my children really enjoy something -- since they are homeschooled, receiving instruction from someone other than me is fabulous. I would highly recommend you to any interested families if they are looking for early music instruction for their children.

"Thank you for blessing my children."

"Hello Elizabeth. I just wanted to say Thank You for the past three sessions of MYC. Colin and I enjoyed them very much.

"Have a good trip, see you soon."

"I was one of the parents that I was in doubt of music lessons in group. I just trusted Mirela who spoke so nicely about you. :) Now I find that the group teaching is for much help mostly for Razvan who deals with 3 languages at once. MYC improves his English vocabulary. He meets other kids willing to take piano lessons and that makes him socially interact. Even if he won't do a profession out of this, the time spent on learning music has a great value."
