About Lessons
Lessons (45 minutes) are taught at 6007 Gateway Green, Monona, WI.
​
I use a variety of books, but I always adapt to what is working best for an individual student. During the early years, I switch between learning at the piano and doing activities on the floor.
​
I have been developing a system for music reading that is more successful for small children, and also children with dyslexia. It uses story and imagery, with middle line notes as landmarks.
​
Parents are required to sit in on lessons until students are practicing independently. Students are required to practice every day or most days, for an age-appropriate amount of time. Practicing can be a slow burn, and parents will need to assist a very young child (younger than 2nd grade).
​
Every student gets a duet or trio partner(s). Duets are practiced in January and performed in February for a guest teacher, who provides positive feedback and guidance. I love duets!
​
Performance opportunities include a holiday recital in the Capitol in December and spring recitals in May or June.
​
My studio contains a waiting area with a keyboard/headphones, math puzzles and games, building toys, and art supplies.
