Overview:
I'm a competent, motivated and very patient instructor and teacher of music. I enjoy working with students and share my love of music. During my lessons and sessions, I practice various teacher's techniques. We do many interesting and interacive exercies and activities. We work on the sense of beat, better listening and understanding of music intonations. We learn how to write and read musics. We work on the basics of harmonies and chords. Every year I play piano and guitar with Woodland Park Holiday Home Tour. I'm appreciated by local musicians and students.
EXPERIENCE
I teach private music lessons for five years. Every year I play piano and guitar with Woodland Park Holiday Home tour. Listeners always enjoy our playing. I'm appreciated by local musicians and students. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for playing music. I'm always looking to bring on new students of all ages!
METHODS USED
I practice various teacher's techniques for better understanding the material by the student. Great part of my lessons is having fun playing, singing and understanding the music. We practice different activities (playing together, practicing beats, singing, learning the keys, looking for similarities, engaging another arts, dancing, etc.). We do many interesting and interacive exercies and activities. We work on the sense of beat, better listening and understanding of music intonations. We learn how to write and read musics. We work on the basics of harmonies and chords. It help us to ascend from understading of the parts to understanding of the whole.
LESSON STYLE
Perhaps the most beautiful thing about the teaching is sharing the knowledge with the students. Acquiring a new knowledge can be compared to making new big and small discoveries almost every day. It always has been rewarding and inspiring for me. (I believe it’s the most important part of my motivation). If the teacher has enough teaching skills, techniques, and personal charisma for showing the students how interesting, thrilling and inspiring every small discovery is, she/he is very happy teacher who can motivate the students well. And both sides share the joy of these discoveries. It is very important for me to be friendly, open and patient with the students. I believe that the educators are to do their best to build up and maintain the sense of acceptance in all students. Interaction between students and teacher is fertile with opportunities to sow the seeds of acceptance. Another important parts of teacher’s mission are nourishing students’ natural curiosity and helping them to develop their problem-solving abilities.
