    About Sharon B.

    (19)
    I'm a classically trained pianist. I graduated from West Chester University with my Bachelor's Degree in Piano Performance in 1985. I then went on to Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. where I earned my Masters degree in Piano Performance in 1987. Beginning in 1987 I taught at the Settlement Music Schools in Philadelphia. I remained there for 16 years working with virtually every level of student from beginner to advanced. From 2004 to the present I have been teaching in my own home studio in West Chester, Pa. *** Lesson Details *** I am an energetic, experienced, sincere, and patient teacher. I emphasize learning to read music as I believe this is the most important skill a student can possess. I also emphasize theory to help the student get a true knowledge of how music is put together. My goal is to help you understand music so that you can learn on your own! *** Studio Equipment *** dedicated music room; 7 foot Steinway B grand piano *** Specialties *** I'm a classically trained pianist. I teach students to read music. I teach all kinds of music not just classical.

    Experience

    Self-Employed

    Jan, 1999 - Present

    Sharon B. Piano

    Since January 1999, I have built up my teaching studio here in my home, West Chester, Pa. Although, I did enjoy my other positions, the drive into Philadelphia was just too much, so I worked on building my own home studio. Now I can save all my energy for my students!

    Piano Teacher

    Sep, 1987 - Jun, 2004

    Settlement Music School

    I taught at several branches of Settlement Music School in Philadelphia. Settlement is the largest community music school in the country. I taught at the Germantown Branch, the Jenkintown Branch, and the West Philadelphia Branch. In that time, I really gained my experience in teaching all levels and types of people. I loved the diversity of people and the experience I gained through that time.

    Community Music School

    Jan, 1983 - Dec, 1985

    West Chester University

    I taught students who enrolled in the Community Music School. The students were able to study with piano majors who were attaining their degrees. It was a beneficial experience for all of us. Students benefited from studying with someone close to their own age and teachers benefited from putting their pedagogy classes and principles into use!
