Music educator, Elementary teacher, English fanatic, and more!

I am a recent graduate of Abilene Christian University. Receiving cum laude honors, I graduated with my BM in Music Education: Voice, K-12.

My certification in the state of Texas will be completed once I am fingerprinted. When I receive my Texas license, I will then apply for a New York state teaching certificate.

I have been giving lessons and tutoring since 7th grade in several educational areas. I teach to the individual and find individual ways of accomplishing the goal of learning: I teach kinesthetically, aurally, and visually.

I currently teach at The Little Gym of Webster, a suburb of Rochester, NY. I also babysit from time to time!

I give 110% to my students! I create quizzes and take-home assignments to further develop skills which cannot be developed in a 1-hour session. Want the best education around? This is the way to go!

Elementary Math

I always received some of the highest grades in my elementary math courses. I teach using different learning styles, so you can bet you will be reached intellectually!

For me, elementary math means: addition, subtraction, division, long division, multiplication (and mult. tables), basic equations, deciphering paragraphs, basic geometry, decimals, fractions, currency, and even reading time.

If you or someone you know struggles with the aforementioned math components, please... Read More

Ear Training

I received A's in all of my music ear-training courses in college (SS/ET 1, 2 and ADV SS/ET 1, 2). I am a music education graduate with a GPA of 3.63. I have been commended on my sight-reading abilities and ear-training abilities. I can teach solfege or the number system, though solfege is a much more detailed ear-training process. I used la-based minor instead of do-based minor.

Music History

I took Music History 1: Antiquity-1700 and Music History 2:1700-present. I received a B for the first class and a an A for the second class. I have also taken a Music and World Cultures course and Music Lit course, both of which I received a B. I recently took and passed the TEXES-Music exam, which has a music history component to it.

Piano

I am a senior music education major from ACU. I passed all of my piano courses with an A and received an A on my piano proficiency exam. I can teach all major and minor (3 modes)scales, etudes, and musical works from the beginning to the intermediate levels. I concentrate on theory as it relates to reading and comprehension, technique and learning to appreciate and have fun with music.

Sight Singing

I have taken two years of sight singing and received A's every semester. I consider myself a great sight-singer. Can teach solfege, rhythms, keys, and pointers on figuring out how to sight-sing.

Study Skills

I graduated from college in May 2012 with a 3.63 GPA (cum laude). If it were not for my study skills and organization habits, I would not have been as successful.

I will help you organize each subject in a way that makes sense to you (once we figure out how your mind organizes!). Separate binders, key words, etc. all prepare you to study. When one is organized, one's mind is at peace and can obtain knowledge for efficiently.

I will then teach you memory tricks and help you... Read More

Voice (Music)

I have been taking university voice lessons for the past 2 years and sing art songs, arias, recitatives in Spanish, English, French, German and Latin. I have taken Diction courses and have great patience when it comes to teaching. My goals include teaching the correct breath support, getting rid of body and tongue tension, and developing musician's minds.

Flute

I received my degree in music education, concentration in voice. This degree requires one to learn the flute as well as all instruments in band and orchestra. Because of my extensive musical training prior to college, I tested out of this course.

In high school, I participated in the Texas State Solo and Ensemble competition in a flute trio, substituting at the last minute for a student who failed her classes. I was first chair flautist in high school and had both a flute solo and piccolo... Read More
