All ages are welcome! Viola is one of my secondary instruments and I would love to pass on my passion for music to my students. Students can expect to learn how to play the viola with proper technique in a way that is unique to each student. Students use the Suzuki books, Barbara Barber scale method, etudes and student requests in their lessons. Brynn’s students will also learn basic music theory, which includes reading notes, rhythms and key signature recognition for all major and minor keys. Students can also expect to improve their overall musicianship skills while earning audition skills and gaining overall confidence. I cannot wait to work with you.

I focus on ear training, finger technique, and chordal harmony so that students learn the basics of musical grammar and music theory.

Theory is just how we describe what we hear and play, but giving it a name allows us to remember and describe what we hear and play.

The piano is so expressive and can be so individualized for each person. We learn from the greats that have come before, but also do ear training and rhythmic work so that you have the foundation of basic music competence and skills that you need to learn more and create your own music.

Heather’s goal is to provide a safe, fun environment for adults and children alike to grow in their love for and ability to play classical music. Along with classical music, she also encourages pursuing individual interests, such as learning how to compose, learning how to play music from guitar chords, and learning pieces the student picks out.

Growth in musical abilities does require consistent practice. Heather helps the students set clear, doable goals to make practice easier. If the student is a child, she will also work with the parents to set appropriate goals. These goals will often include performing in a recital, audition, or other competition. Performing helps push the student to the next level, allows them to share their love of music with others, and teaches them confidence in front of people.

I have been playing guitar for 4 years now and I would love the opportunity to teach others the skill. I have a guitar already but if you want to use yours that is fine too. Music has always been a passion of mine, and I hope to get people just as excited about it as I am.
