May, 1983 - PresentBeginnings in Music: Beginning Piano Studio & Kindermusik
Teaching a solid, broad based foundation for music appreciation and understanding. Specific tasks included continuous self study and practice, lesson planning and design, acquisitions, advertising and general management and employee training. Piano includes music theory, history, ear training and piano technique and practical application for ages 5-105. I like to see to it that the students truly understand what they doing. Available to those who are interested in bi-annual formal recitals, mini recitals, festivals, competitions, field trips annual state exams. NOTE: Not currently offering group classes. Kindermusik is good general music with lots of movement, singing and instrument playing for ages newborn to 7 years in age appropriate small groups and activities. Kindermusik focuses on the development of the whole child.
