Experience
Piano Instructor
Mar, 2009 - PresentTakeLessons.com
I teach beginning students to intermediate/advanced. 5 is about the earliest age that is appropriate to start piano lessons, although I have had students start at age 4 and they are still with me. It just depends on the child and the family dynamic.
Assistant Children's Choir Director
Aug, 2015 - May, 2016Shawnee Mission Unitarian Universal Church
I created and directed a youth choir, working with kids ages 10-15 in this group. These kids learned to read a choral score, and learned to sing in two-part harmony. We performed periodically during services.
Co-director, Children's Choir
Aug, 2010 - Aug, 2015Shawnee Mission Unitarian Universalist Church
I co-directed children's choir at a local church. We taught singing: pitch-matching, interval recognition, blending voices, rhythm, learning to sing in rounds which later facilitates part-singing skills. We worked with soloists and young instrumentalists. I either directed or accompanied the choir which performed about 4 times a year at Sunday services.
