We are a few weeks into the 2017-2018 season, and I'm very excited about the possibilities! With a full roster of talented and eager-to-learn musicians, I know it will be a great year of making music.
I plan to offer more performance opportunities, including some that may double as community service, as well! The more students perform in front of others, the more confident they become. This confidence will serve them well in many aspects of life, not just when they're performing music! I'm also incorporating the use of more technology during lessons: interactive music apps which teach theory and improve skills, as well as utilizing the endless supply of music available online, allowing vocalists to expand their repertoire beyond their books. A few students are interested in composing their own music, which I heavily encourage!
I strive to customize each lesson to the needs and interests of the student; therefore, I encourage all students to share their likes, dislikes, and desires with me. I believe in the importance of students setting goals for themselves - whether it's to perform their favorite song at the next recital, try out for a musical, perform in the school talent show, or be able to perform an original song of their very own. Working towards a goal gives purpose and meaning to the hard work of practicing, and achieving that goal brings endless rewards!
