Lesson Options List
Piano
I started playing piano at six, performing for church and school events. In Gr. 8, I began accompanying my school choir, significantly boosting my sight-reading skills and playing ability. At 13, I became deeply passionate about piano, learning complex pieces and entering competitions. Over the years, I have won several piano competitions, including Best Overall Pianist in the under-18 category.
Music Theory
Music theory is a crucial part of learning music, as it helps with the overall understanding of how music works. As musical concepts are learned, music begins to make more sense, opening up new levels of creativity and comprehension, along with making music clearer and more logical. I love music theory because it's a lot like math—there's often one right answer!
Violin
I started playing the violin at the age of eight. Although initially challenging, I gradually improved and have enjoyed playing ever since. I love performing at worship and church services whenever possible, often playing by ear. My violin performances have earned me three competition wins, including being named Best Violinist twice.
Guitar
The guitar is a fantastic instrument to learn, offering versatility in many settings. For students who have already learned the ukulele and are ready to advance, the guitar is an excellent option. The muscle memory developed from playing the ukulele would be beneficial if they transitioned to the guitar.
Ukulele
For young students interested in learning an acoustic instrument, the ukulele is an excellent choice. It's easy to press the strings, and the instrument itself is more affordable, which is always a bonus!
Game/Activities
These lessons are offered on a pay-as-you-go basis. This option is perfect if you'd like your child to have additional lesson time but not additional time every week. Lessons range from 30 to 60 minutes and include games and other activities without advancing through their books. This approach allows students to keep learning fun and engaging, helping to create a positive association with lessons, especially if your child is struggling.
