Elementary (K-6th)
I have tutored all ages since the time I was 13. I served as a tutor with the America Reads Program in college in rural Vermont working with a small elementary school. I both helped run the after-school program and served in the classroom as a teacher's aide. I have experience working with learning disabilities and differently-abled students as well as students as young as kindergarteners.
Music History
I have a B.A in music from Dartmouth College. I have taken courses in ethnomusicology specializing in the Persian Radif and Hindustani Raga traditions. I studied early music with Bill Summers and intend to pursue a PhD in historical musicology specializing in the late medieval and early Renaissance periods. I have experience and training in various periods and cultures, so I am more than qualified to tutor in this area.
Voice (Music)
I received my BA in music from Dartmouth College. While an undergraduate, I studied voice (I am an operatic contralto) with Louis Burkot and participated in the Dartmouth College Glee Club. After moving to the Boston area, I became involved in the MIT Musical Theatre Guild, capturing 2 leading roles and vocal directing the Guild's production of Jekyll and Hyde. I currently sing with 2 well respected area choirs and have had 2 private students in the area. I am comfortable teaching voice at a beginning to intermediate level.
