Experience
Self-Employed
Jan, 1999 - PresentSharon 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, 2004Settlement 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, 1985West 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!
