About Pam I.

4.8

(17)

*** Specialties *** I have been a music teacher since 1995. I have taught flute, harp and piano privately and for music stores. I have also been a classroom teacher for fifteen years. For flute, I use the Flute 101/102/103 books and supplement with various solo pieces. I am available to help a student with audition preparation for solo and ensemble or all state competitions. For harp, I use the Suzuki books and ABRSM materials and for piano I recommend the students work in the Faber series until Level 4 or 5 and then branch out to the piano literature. I have a background in sacred and classical music but I am also open to working with students on pop pieces as well.

Teacher's studio

I have completed my third lesson with Pam so the experience has been great. I love her personality. She is very bubbly, sweet, and patient. She is knowledgeable about the harp and it’s history. I like how she corrects me in a positive way. I am enjoying my lessons with her.
