About Taryna H.

Hello, and welcome! Are you ready to embark on a musical journey? I love being able to share my passion for music and teaching by helping kids and adults with various backgrounds achieve their learning goals! My teaching style is all about fostering a growth mindset and tailoring lessons to your unique learning style. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, I'm here to help you achieve your musical goals. I create fun lesson plans that include music theory, exercises, and songs you love. You tell me which songs or musicians you love, and I will teach you everything you need to know through those songs! What sets me apart is my background with 9 years of experience as an elementary school teacher, musician, and online language and music instructor, ensuring a structured yet positive learning environment. With my years of experience I have honed my skills in creating engaging lesson plans, encouraging student curiosity, adapting to different settings and requirements, providing one-on-one and group setting instruction, and fostering a positive and empowering learning environment. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Oklahoma Panhandle State University, where I was on honor roll and graduated Magna cum laude, and I have a teaching license as well as multiple ESOL certifications. I started taking guitar lessons when I was 8 years old. I only stopped taking guitar lessons after graduating High School and have been playing and teaching independently since. When I'm not teaching, you can find me spending time with my 16-month-old baby girl on our farm, surrounded by our dogs, cats, horses, and cows. I believe that my personal experiences as a mom and a farmer taught me the importance of nurturing growth and promoting a safe and nurturing environment. I look forward to sharing my love for music, and teaching with my students and helping them reach their full potential. Whether you're looking to strum some chords on the guitar, or tickle the ivories on the piano, I've got you covered. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
