From 54 $ /h

Understanding music is important for anyone looking to become a musician. Music is like a language; an art and a science. Once you understand the building blocks of music, you can add colors to your canvas, so to speak. Music lessons start from the beginning and gradually work towards musical goals. Even if you are an intermediate learner, it's good to brush up on the basics. Generally, lessons are catered towards early learners with interest in mastering their instrument (voice included!)

Lessons range from 30 minutes to one hour in length and are catered to students' learning styles and strengths. Early music education has been shown to improve cognitive function, memory, language, social health and emotional wellness. These benefits last for years to come. Music is a gift that continues to give for years to come. Thank you!

About Me

Hello! My name is Allison. I teach music lessons ranging from guitar, piano, mandolin and voice. My primary instruments are guitar and voice, though I enjoy teaching piano to beginners. My teaching philosophy is that everyone is capable of learning an instrument. When you learn how to play a musical instrument, it adds sparkle to life! There are many studies that show that learning how to play a musical instrument helps cognitive function, eases stress and increases social wellness, along with many other benefits. My focus when teaching centers on the learning style of a student. I work with many different types of learning styles and abilities and enjoy customizing lessons to best fit you. My primary intention is to encourage you in your musical progress.

Education

I hold a BA from Earlham College in Liberal Arts. The school focused on a multidisciplinary, socratic method of learning. Much of my training form the school was based in learning "how to learn" and teach others. I focused primarily on philosophy, religion, social theory and biology.

Experience / Qualifications

I founded Music for the Heart in 2017, when I was approached by a local music teacher. She invited me to teach a class for high school orchestra and choir students on composition and improvisation. Since then, I have been teaching music privately and in group settings.
