A BIT ABOUT MYSELF
I have a Licentiate in Piano (Performers) from the Trinity College of Music London, England (LTCL) and have been teaching piano for several years. I have been teaching the Music For Young Children program for the last 5 years and absolutely love it. I got interested in MYC when my oldest daughter turned 3 and I was looking to get her involved in piano lessons. Being a private music teacher I tried several books and methods and found her too young for traditional music instruction. I knew I was looking for a fun and interactive music program for that age group. After all, music must be F-U-N !! I got introduced to the MYC program and realized this was meeting all my needs. More than just note-reading, the MYC program taught the student harmony, improvisation, composition, playing by ear, theory, ear training, technique, ensemble playing !! All this and games and theme days and special treats in a MUSIC CLASS ??? And the parent is right there to learn with the child and create this great experience together and beautiful memories to last a lifetime !!! Wow - that was totally different from how I learned music and so much fun too....
Anyway, I took my teacher training and got her into MYC and she has not looked back since. She is now 8 yrs and working on Grade 2 piano and completed her Grade 1 Theory last year as well. My second daughter is also in MYC in SB3 this year and is loving every minute of it. My little baby absolutely loves MUSIC PUPS - a program specially geared to give children a headstart in their musical lives . He has started to climb onto the piano stool and sit at the piano by himself and plonks away !! . And he is only 16 months !! So, as you can see music is very much a part of our lives ! !
My MYC graduates have secured great marks in theory and piano exams and my MYC students have done well in the KIWANIS music festival and masterclasses. In addition to Piano, I also play the keyboards, Piano accordion and guitar. Music has been part of my life ever since I can remember – I come from a very talented and musical family – we love to sing and play music and we enjoy the camaraderie of getting together with our loved ones and sharing our love for music .I am very passionate about music and truly love working with kids. I hope to pass this love of music on to my students and feel very privileged to be a part of their lives as they begin their musical journeys with me at their Music classes !!
SEE YOU NEXT TIME IN MUSIC CLASS !!
