Bio

Hi all!

My name is Regina and I am freelance musician and tutor. I completed my undergraduate degree in December 2011 in Music Education, with piano as my primary instrument and trumpet as my secondary instrument. In addition, I minored in French and elementary general music. I graduated with a Master's in Education in Curriculum and Instruction (with an emphasis in Music Education) in May 2014.

Hi all!

My name is Regina and I am freelance musician and tutor. I completed my undergraduate degree in December 2011 in Music Education, with piano as my primary instrument and trumpet as my secondary instrument. In addition, I minored in French and elementary general music. I graduated with a Master's in Education in Curriculum and Instruction (with an emphasis in Music Education) in May 2014. Since then, I have been working as a music teacher, running my own studio teaching piano, band instruments and even string instruments. I have also worked as an accompanist and vocal coach, both in the university setting and at churches in my area. I do also occasionally tutor other subjects as needed.

If you have not been able to tell yet, I love languages as much as I love music. I grew up in a bilingual home (English and Arabic) that often incorporated French as well.

In general, I have always loved learning. I believe that anyone can learn, especially if they are given the opportunity in a patient and caring environment. My goal as a teacher, whether it's teaching music or tutoring, is to teach each student according to their own individualized needs.

I am looking forward to helping whoever I am able!

Marketing

For a year, I worked for a company that specializes in choral-orchestral concert tours and music academies across Europe, the Mediterranean and the US. While my tasks were varied, one of my many titles was "Public Relations Coordinator." I worked heavily with the promotion and marketing aspect of the company through building a clientele base using telephone, email and social media. I also supervised our intern and various projects, including several promotional videos.

Since graduating from my master's degree, I have worked for a company that specializes in concert tours and music academies across Europe, the Mediterranean and the US. In addition, I have worked as a church musician, both in children's music productions and for special instrumental needs. One of my goals in life is to have my own music-industry business, both for teaching and for performance.
Web Design,

Web Design

I currently work in an office where we use technology as an important element in our strategy and marketing. As a result, I have had to become diverse in my skills and was trained by our webmaster (who is outsourced) in elements of our web design. I have also worked with sites such as WordPress, Blogger and Weebly to create web pages and blogs for my personal use.

While pursuing my undergraduate degree in music education, I minored in French.

I am advanced in my understanding and abilities in this beautiful language.

Elementary Education

Elementary (K-6th)

Most of my formal teaching experiences have been working with the K-6th age group. In addition to spending half of my student teaching experience in an elementary school (teaching music), I have also worked in elementary Bible club programs. I also spent a semester doing practicums at the Child Development Center at the University of South Carolina. I believe that children at the elementary level succeed more at learning through hands-on learning activities and the use of concrete teaching aids. The use of such items is part of my educational philosophy and I will strive to use such resources as necessary.
Study Skills,

Study Skills

School has always been an area in which I have excelled as I have come up with creative ways to study that suited my needs. My study skills enabled me to take Honors and AP courses in high school, to graduate valedictorian of my class, and served me well throughout my undergraduate and graduate coursework as well. I believe that study skills should be individualized and that students should be encouraged to learn in a way that makes sense to them. If you know your learning style and can come up with strategies that help maximize your learning, success will follow suit.

History

Bible Studies,

Bible Studies

I am a Christian. I grew up in a Christian home where the Bible was taught, attend a church where Scripture is the foundation for worship and the sermons, and attended private Christian schools from first through twelfth grades. I have also studied theology and hermeneutics at the collegiate level. I am willing to teach any book of the Bible and to teach you how to study the Scriptures for yourself.
Music History,

Music History

As a music education student, I was required to take an overview semester of music history, followed by three semesters of in-depth study that covered ancient music through the twentieth century. Because of this, I have a good knowledge of each of the major time periods, composers and compositions. I can teach an overview or help with studying for tests as needed.
Religion,

Religion

In addition to taking a class on world religions and how they compare to each other in high school, I did a week long "trek" that studied different religions. During this "trek," we would study the history and doctrines of different religions in the morning and would visit their sites of worship in the afternoons. As a result of that, I had a hands-on opportunity to experience more than just words on a page. My religious experiences include a Sikh gurdwara, Hindu temple, a mosque and the Jehovah's Witness community that prints The Watchtower for North America and the Caribbean. I am willing to share what I have learned through these classes and provide resources for further studies to anyone who would like more information. Due to my own religious upbringing, I can also teach Bible studies or Christianity history classes if anyone would like to learn from this prospective as well. Religion classes depend on each individual student and what they would like to learn.
Social Studies,

Social Studies

I have always been interested in history, geography and culture. Not only did I take an academic interest in those subjects (such as taking AP US History in high school), but I take every opportunity to travel and immerse myself in different cultures and experiencing the effects of history and geography outside of textbooks. I believe that, in order to understand ourselves and others, we need to understand how our pasts have affected our present lives and philosophies. My philosophy regarding teaching social studies is to use a variety of resources, both tangible and interactive, to allow the student to gain as much as they can in a fun and exciting way. I will primarily focus on the topics that the student is studying in class, but will present additional information if the student is ready.

Piano

I was a piano major while I pursued my undergraduate degree in music education. In addition to having studied classical music, I have been a pianist and keyboardist at several churches and have become proficient in hymns and contemporary music. I have also worked as a staff accompanist and vocal coach at a local college, accompanying a variety of musical styles. I do not have an age limit for beginning piano students. I have started students as young as 2 1/2 years old. I do prefer young students have the support of a parent during the lesson so they can assist in practice at home. While I typically use the Faber Piano Adventures series, as well as the Alfred Basic Library, I am also willing to work with any materials that you may already have. I do enjoy creating an individualized curriculum for each student. I take all ages and levels of ability.

I took one semester of logic at the collegiate level and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Because of my in-depth experience with algebra (including tutoring), logic was easy for me overall. In addition to understanding logic, I have also been successful at tutoring math. I believe that any student can succeed in logic if they are taught in a way that they can personally understand.

Music

Drums,

Drums

When it comes to music, everyone is naturally inclined to either rhythm or pitch. Rhythm has always been my strong suit and I enjoy the study of rhythm playing drums allows. As a music education major, I was required to study percussion for a semester prior to my student teaching.
Ear Training,

Ear Training

In music education, the development of aural skills is just as important to music reading. It more readily helps the student understand the music patterns they are reading by helping them be able to judge their accuracy by understanding what the song should sound like. As a music educator, I incorporate aural skills side by side with a study of music theory.
Flute,

Flute

I started flute in seventh grade and have enjoyed it ever since. I played flute, along with trumpet, in middle and high school band and took a semester of flute in college as part of my music education degree. While I am far from being a professional flautist, I am capable of starting someone on flute or helping a struggling band student. My method for instrumental teaching is to work with the needs of each individual student, encouraging what they enjoy while targeting areas in which to grow as a musician.
General Music,

General Music

Since music and music education is my passion in life, along with being the subject of my undergraduate degree, I can help with any needs you may have when it comes to music as a whole. Whether you want to learn about music or obtain help for a specific topic, I can help.

Music Theory,

Music Theory

I love music theory! I truly believe it gives the framework to better understand the music we play, especially while sightreading or working on new songs. I incorporate as much music theory as I can in private lessons; however, I also encourage an in-depth study of music theory and offer separate classes to focus on music analysis, listening, dictation and composition.
Piano,

I was a piano major while I pursued my undergraduate degree in music education.

Sight Singing,

Sight Singing

While pursuing my undergraduate degree, one of the required classes for a degree in music education was sight singing, which was usually paired with the topics we were studying in theory class. In addition to sight singing, we also studied dictation. I am proficient in solfege and using the different systems for both pitch and rhythmic sight singing/ sight reading. While I prefer "fixed do," I will work within any system that you are studying to aid you in becoming more confident with your sight singing and sight reading.
Trombone,

Trombone

Part of my coursework during my undergraduate studies was a semester of trombone. I quickly developed proficient skills due to my history in playing the trumpet. During my master's degree in education, I taught lessons at Music & Arts, including in trombone.
Trumpet

Trumpet

While pursuing my undergraduate degree, I minored in trumpet. Because of my background in curriculum development, I have taught trumpet using an individualized approach, focusing on materials I feel will help each student develop the necessary skills. I use some of the traditional method books, such as Arban's and Clarke's, as well as materials that correlate to band study methods in schools.

Great 1st lesson

Really worked with where my 5th grader was at versus a rigid lesson plan. She is excited for her next lesson. She is also excited about getting to learn a new song on the 2nd lesson.
