    About Dale S.

    4.5
    (2)
    As a performer I have been playing for over fifteen years on the piano. I have received training at Vanguard University where my teacher's were graduates from Juilliard and Yale. I currently accompany the choirs at Desert Ridge Junior High. I have received a Masters in Music from Baylor University and a Doctorate from ASU and currently teach Music at Grand Canyon University. I am a published choral composer, and have had music performed in Europe and Canada. In August of 2012 I began teaching piano on a part-time basis. My teaching philosophy has always been to make sure the students understand why and not just how to perform something. I emphasize music theory along with piano lessons and expect the students to take the time to practice every week. I have taught children of all ages from 4 to 16 years old. If you would like a female teacher please contact my wife who is also a teacher on take lessons: https://takelessons.com/profile/jayna-j *** Studio Equipment *** N/A *** Travel Equipment *** N/A *** Specialties *** Piano/Voice
