Students' goals will depend on their age, level, and interests.  We will discuss specific goals before or during our first class and evaluate them as we go.  Most importantly, we want to have fun learning music.  

I have a BA in Vocal Performance from Texas Christian University and was certified to teach Music grades EC-12 in the State of Texas for many years.  I have taught private piano, singing, and theory lessons for over a decade to students from ages 4 all the way to adults post-retirement. 

Homework Offered
Homework will be highly individualized and in the form of musical practice and music theory written homework.  It is recommended students practice at least 30 minutes a day on their instrument and/or voice.  They will generally be given 2-4 pages of theory work to complete for the week as well.  
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I will use informal assessments of progress as we go.  Once a song or concept is mastered, we move on to the next.  If the student is using Royal Conservatory of Music or ABRSM material, we can prepare for real exams or mock exams to be done in class.  Exams are not mandatory however!
