    About Rebecca F.

    (39)
    I have 50 years of teaching experience, from beginners to advanced students. I also teach the people no one else thinks are teachable because I work with people from where they are and find their best learning styles. Several of my students are now professional musicians, but that's not everyone's course. I teach every age range from 3-83 and everything from classical to country-western. And I teach every orchestral and band instrument, and guitar, bass, and drum kit and some instruments you've never heard of. I also teach voice, pop, rock, or opera, it doesn't matter to me. *** Lesson Details *** Important Note: I will no longer take new students that want lessons every other week. Inconsistent lessons, especially with younger students, allow them to forget too much between sessions. What I teach is transferable to EVERY endeavor whether it's music or math or soccer. I require practice on the student's part. You will be able to play recognizable songs within your first month. You tell me what you or your child wants out of music lessons, and I will tell you exactly how to get it. *** Studio Equipment *** The lessons are taught in the entryway next to the family room which is upstairs. The teacher has a music stand and seating for parents or siblings. Park on the street or driveway. *** Travel Equipment *** Instrument *** Specialties *** I'm flexible. I have taught everything from country western guitar to classical guitar, from Jazz trumpet to orchestral audition music, from barbershop singing to Broadway musical singing. I have even taught ballet. I cater my methods to the student's best learning style.

    Positive experience. Rebecca gives clear instructions and helpful suggestions. Instruction space is a bit cramped but do-able.

    Rebecca was an amazing teacher. As an adult who was new to singing - I was unsure how it would go. The lessons ended up being very fun and I really learned a lot. I am thankful for how the lessons turned out and would consider taking more in the future.

    Experience

    I have been giving private lessons and group lessons in everything from guitar classes to individual voice/instrumental lesson. I have also conducted church choirs and written music that has been performed by the Simpson College Choir. In addition, I have written and arranged music for various and sundry instruments that members of the congregation have performed for Christmas and Easter services. The Fine Arts Academy has also offered lessons in art and dance, though I no longer have the physical capacity to teach dance, and art classes are done only through boy/girl scout programs now.
