Piano with Natalie W.

Hi, I'm Natalie and I have enjoyed teaching music on a professional level since 2006. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Flute Performance/Pedagogy. I teach flute at the advanced level and piano/keyboard at the intermediate level. I've had music recitals for the student to perform for family members and friends. I am looking forward to meeting you and to help you reach your desired musical goals. I provide private and group instrumental training for youth and adults. Piano/Keyboard instruments are taught from the beginner to intermediate and Woodwind instruments are taught from beginner to intermediate with the flute being the primary instrument to the advanced level. An assessment is given to all students to gain knowledge on how to assist the student to advance in his/her music endeavors. Assignments are given to the student as a strategy to help strengthen the students' knowledge and understanding by using method books, sight-reading material, scales and arpeggios, long tone exercises, and techniques to enable the student to play with ease at a slow, medium or fast tempo. I assist band directors to prepare the band for Large Group Performance Evaluation (LGPE) also encourages and assists the serious musician to prepare music to audition for All-State Band and Honor's Band competition. and Solo & Ensemble competitions. I enjoy sharing my experiences as a musician and simplifying areas in music that is complicated for the student to grasp. It's with great pleasure to communicate with the student(s) and parent(s) to ensure we reach goals that are set. I enjoy making lessons fun and easy to learn; moreover, I enjoy watching the students' understanding of the lesson come forth; it's like watching a light bulb go from dim to bright!
