I have been teaching piano for approximately 40 years. I've had experience with all ages and levels of students. I am also a church organist and music director, and I have taught music in the Harford County School System for 24 years. I have participated in the Pennsylvania Piano Student Festival as an adjudicator. I am a member of the Baltimore Music Teachers Association; Maryland State Teachers Association; Harford County Music Teachers Association; National Federation of Music Clubs; Bach in Baltimore Chorus; Welsh Choir in Delta, Pa; Early Music Society of Baltimore and the American Guild of Organist.I graduated from the College of Notre Dame University with a BA Degree in Music Education. I have continued my private studies throughout the years with notable professors. I attend piano teaching workshops on a regular basis to stay up-to-date with new teaching materials.
My students are taught a complete knowledge of music theory. The fundamentals of scales, chord structures, arpeggios etc. are an essential part of every lessons. Music technic is developed with these fundamentals. I teach a variety of music genres such as Jazz, Contemporary, Classical and Hymn playing, depending on the age and musical development of each student.
*** Lesson Details ***
I teach a 45 minute lesson but a 30 or 60 minute class is an option. In my experience, students 6 -7 years of age, depending on their maturity level, do perform better with a 30 minute lesson. As they progress, they will move to the 45 minute lesson.
I have studied with many wonderful piano professors over the years.
Duke Thompson (Maryland Music Conservatory)
Ernest Ragogini ( Notre Dame University)
Jane Tan (Composer of teaching repertoire and teacher techniques for teaching)
Virginia Reinecke (Loyola University)
Fredrick Griesenger ( Peabody Conservatory)
I cannot fail to give credit to Mrs. Marie Heck my first music instructor who inspired me with her gentle manner and her love of teaching.
