Group Lessons
Partner Lessons:
I will partner students that are about the same level, could work well together and learn from each other. Partner lessons will generally take place on Saturdays, but we will work on a schedule that works for all participants. During these lessons we focus on duet repertoire, fun/pop music, I may sneak in a little bit of technical drill (hopefully nobody will notice😊) and of course any ideas that students bring. Why should students sign up for this:
Students will experience a sense of community.
Students will practice communicating (verbally and non-verbally) to peers during the partner lesson and hopefully reach out to each other outside of the lesson time.
My biggest hope: MOTIVATION. With partner lessons, I believe, students will develop a sense of responsibility for the progress of the group.
Students will get exposed to different kind of repertoire and we can decide the music based on the interests of each group. Pop/movie/Disney music are NOT off limits. 😊
For the reason’s listed above, I would discourage siblings to play together.
Lastly, students will have more contact time with me... the more time together, the more I can manipulate students' brains and the less time students spend on screens...
