Singing with Aiyana C.

Self-employed music teacher

~In 2000 in Orlando, Florida I started teaching piano at a music shop called "Music Shack". I taught at Music Shack from 2000-2008. ~In 2003 I graduated from University of Central Florida with B.A. in music and my specialization and primary instrument was piano. ~In 2004 I also started teaching at a piano store in Longwood, FL where I rented space and students came to me for lessons. ~In 2008 I moved to Los Angeles, CA where I got a teaching position at a music store called "Guitar Merchant". I started teaching voice and flute in addition to piano at guitar merchant. I worked there as a teacher until 2015. ~2012: I joined the Music Teacher's Association of California and I currently participate in their yearly piano evaluation exam called Certificate of Merrit. Certificate of Merritt is a well rounded music evaluation program designed to help motivated students move through a more structured music learning program. Upon relocating to South Florida I intend to join a similar professional organization in the area. ~2014 to present: I started teaching a weekly group music class to pre-school aged students at a Montessori Preschool. I do concerts twice a year with this group. One for Holiday time in December and one for their Preschool Graduation in June. ~2015-present: I am currently on my own as a self employed private music teacher. I have students who come to my studio, take lessons online, and I also travel quite bit to student's homes for the lessons. I have a full studio of 30+ students and two group classes. I AM RELOCATING TO SOUTH FLORIDA IN AUGUST/SEPTEMBER, 2018. I am accepting new students in Broward and Palm Beach County. I am looking to build a full and thriving music studio in the South Florida area. I look forward to speaking with you. Please call or email me with any questions you have! : )

I joined MTAC in 2012 so that I could participate in the state wide music testing called "Certificate of Merritt". Certificate of Merritt is a structure music learning program for motivated students who get evaluated on sight-reading, technique, ear training, performance, and tested in music theory at their level. There are levels which the students pass, starting with preparatory and then go all the way through level 9 and then level 10 is the top "Advanced" level. I currently have two students working on the advanced level and have 14 other students work on various levels throughout the program.

MTAC aspires to be the recognized leader in (1) Student Programs, which make a positive impact in the quality of music education and in the lives of music students; (2) Member Programs, which inspire quality teaching, the pursuit of ongoing teacher education and member involvement with community outreach; (3) a thriving Foundation, which funds Student Programs and member needs through its investments, donations, and grants.
