In my study of music education at Rutgers University, we discussed Orff, Kodaly, Suzuki and other methods of teaching, but overall, I've taken a blend of the ones I've learned (along with personal ideas about teaching) and have taught in that way, trying to accommodate any specific needs of each individual student.

I completed Suzuki training for Pre-Twinkles and Book 1, however, after years of Suzuki study, workshops, and camps, I am fully versed in the Suzuki culture and method.

Lessons with Jill are tailored to individual needs and skills, in a positive atmosphere. She considers practice-time between lessons very important to sustaining a healthy singing voice and growing the developing singer. Focus will be on healthy singing technique so that the singer can continue enjoying their talent for life! We will use varied repertoire and styles, taking into consideration always, the student’s age and ability.

Children's Instruments for Miniature Musicians
Children’s Instruments for Miniature Musicians As W flings his miniature body across his miniature piano, creating an avalanche of sound with his stomach and knees and feet (note: his hands are nowhere near the keys), I wonder if he inherited his father’s musical ability or if he’ll end up like me—tone deaf and instrument-phobic, left playing the egg shaker at his in-laws’ family gatherings. I hope for the best and so encourage his musical experimentation (until the headache creeps up and begs for a quiet, introspective child prone to reading and drawing and other silent activities) with a variety of kid-sized instruments like Melissa and Doug’s piano complete with color-coded keys and songbook. Plan Toys also nurtures novice musicians with a starter baby drum or a more advanced drum set made from natural rubber wood and non-toxic paints.... |
