    Heather holds a Music Degree for Music Therapy from the University of Iowa. She is especially good with younger children and those with special needs. Much of her work experience has been with people of varied developmental and learning challenges. Her specialty is developing adaptive, one on one lessons. *** Lesson Details *** Beginning Piano, Guitar and Flute. Children's Music Class! Learning about music through music therapy! Learning made fun! It is of upmost importance that students are having fun and enjoying their music lessons. This goal is achieved by the teachers positive attitude and positive reinforcement during lessons. This will motivate the student to engage more in their own learning process. I find that this approach also helps students to want to practice and play more since they are enjoying their experience. Lessons are adaptive to the needs of each student. I expect my students to practice and play! The learning environment during the lessons creates a great sense of accomplishment for the student. *** Online Lesson Music Equipment *** I have a piano, keyboard, two flutes, acoustic guitar. Some music therapy instruments, for example, shakers, drum, rhythm sticks. *** Specialties *** I specialize in teaching children beginning lessons and children's music class. I specialize in teaching children and adults with mental impairments.

    Heather has taught my girls more than any other teacher we have had. She was incredibly patient, and very likable. She was easy to work with us, and always accommodating. We definitely recommend her!

    In Home Guitar Lesson Heather is a wonderful teacher. My daughter looks forward and enjoys seeing her each week. She is very knowledgeable, and makes it easy for a child to learn and understand the guitar. It has been so convenient having her come to the house.
