-I teach out of my home and welcome children ages 5 and up. The best moment of my teaching day is when everything clicks for a student and they realize that yes, they can do this, and yes, they are wonderful! Not every child is the same, we all learn differently, and I go to great effort to make sure I present information in the way that is best for the student. We may sit at the piano for the entire lesson, we may move around the room, and I have been known to use the stairs to explain the difference between high and low. I incorporate games, digital resources, and recordings to make music accessible to everyone who walks in my studio door.
