    About Avis C.

    4.5
    (2)
    I started piano lessons at five years old. My dad was my first teacher. During middle school and high school I continued with other teachers. Music became very important during my years at college, consequently, at the University of Minnesota I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education; in graduate school I earned a Master of Science in Music Education at the University of Illinois and finally, I earned a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership at the University of Miami. *** Lesson Details *** I establish a good rapport with my students in order for the class to be enjoyable. It is very important to emphasize hand position and posture with beginners. New lessons are assigned each week. There are lessons that build technique and others that are based on familiar songs or easy songs for beginners. *** Studio Equipment *** Lessons are taught on an electronic keyboard. *** Specialties *** My specialty is teaching beginners and organizing piano recitals as a means of building confidence and enthusiasm.
