I enjoy teaching a variety of styles, from classical to contemporary, as well as giving my students performance opportunities to really be able to challenge themselves. Read More

She is willing to teach children at a minimum age of 5 years old, teens, and adults of all ages. In addition, to learning songs, she initiates exercises to improve her students technical skills and chord / scale knowledge which will give each student a solid foundation for growth potential.

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Recorder Bassoon Keyboard
For beginning students who are younger, I prefer starting them with beginner method books and ear training. Brain and physical development can proceed at very different rates. I believe in the constant testing of the student's readiness of various musical elements such as absolute pitch, rhythm, reading, finger control, note reading, attention span, interest in music, intelligence, etc. Finding each child's strength and weakness will be the key to determine the path of the repertoire they will be playing.

My teaching experience dates back to my Poland days, as I began teaching private lessons as a student of Music Academy of Wroclaw. When arrived to USA, I had my private studio in Chicago, where I lived for ten years. When I moved to Arizona, I continued to do what I love. I can teach students of any age.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcccxxxcxcxcxxxxccccccccxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read More
Instruments: Piano Recorder Music
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
- Is your child interested in music? A lot of this will depend on the exposure and enjoyment they have had with the music in their lives up to this point.
- Can they pay attention for at least 5 minutes? Do note that their attention spans will increase as they continue to practice.
- Are they willing to commit to at least 30 minutes practice every day? Talk to them! Especially as they get older, you will want to do this.
- If they can already read, it will be easier, though I've had many students that have learned to read music first.
- Are You ready to work with them? All ages need at least some parent attention, the younger they are the more you will need to work directly with them, full time.
When will I start to see results?
This question can be very variable. The standard is 7 years to mastery. You should be prepared to stick it out. However, you should see a few things on the first day. Aside from that, a great deal depends on how much they practice and how Effectively they practice. If the practicing is sloppy or haphazard, without taking the time to check all the details first and then put it together using the method mentioned above for working a piece up, they may never fully work a given piece up.
Music is full of patterns. The students need to learn to see and hear them. Learning the music 1 step at a time allows this. Typically 2 to 8 months to be able to play very simple Christmas songs using standard notation, depending on age and practice habits.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1 - Look the piece over, very well. Looking for patterns and the overall shape of the music. Check all basic details, such as: Clefs, Key Signature, Time Signature and any directions on how the music should be played.
2) Take it apart. Look for sticky spots that might give you trouble. Decide how you will handle it and then practice them.
3) All practice should include: Making sure that you know all the letters, Clapping and then Tapping the rhythms out, Playing hands alone first and Then hands together. Practice SLOWLY to start and then very gradually increase the tempo until you are at full speed. Also, start by practicing section by section. It's a much more efficient and effective way to learn.
