In addition to having fun, my students develop the fundamentals of technique, theory and reading music which lay the foundation for a future of musical excellence and enjoyment. Students are also given many opportunities for improvisation, ear training and composition. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60198afa1360e82744b61eff/t/60232b8612bee93d95ab9f6f/1612917683559/little+paws+millie.jpeg Home - MUSIC THEORY Music theory is captivating when it’s gamified. I currently have over 150 games to reinforce all elements of theory and I am always adding to my library! Many of my games are multi-level or are geared for older students. Therefore, everyone can learn challenging principles while still having a good time. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60198afa1360e82744b61eff/t/60232bef28d267156349de2b/1612917753912/inara+.jpeg Home - Repertoire Repertoire that is well-rounded is key to a comprehensive musical education and students enjoy exploring various types of music during our instruction time. If your child has a favorite song or composer, I will integrate it into our lessons whether it’s through aural training, rote teaching, play-along apps, lead sheets or traditional sheet music. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60198afa1360e82744b61eff/t/602aa307642c4f320c72b64d/1613406997500/Technique%2Banimals.jpg Home - tECHNIQUE Technique isn’t boring when it means learning an impressive sounding song that spans the entire keyboard. Since students learn these technical songs through patterns, beginners of all ages can play thrilling music immediately! For younger students, my basket of stuffed animals (each representing a various technical element) adds to the excitement. Parents often tell me that my students run home after lessons to practice these songs. https://www.michellemarkmusic.com/about-me daily 0.75 2021-03-09 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60198afa1360e82744b61eff/t/602efbf050d25227171f3f4a/1613691899688/me+about+page+with+MTNA.png About Me https://www.michellemarkmusic.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-02-25 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60198afa1360e82744b61eff/t/602fee33af0f2d4b7edc3a54/1613753926392/Charo+4+BW.png Contact https://www.michellemarkmusic.com/lesson-options daily 0.75 2021-03-09 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60198afa1360e82744b61eff/t/60300ed6850b0e35ad32058b/1613762272553/twins%2Bbuddy.jpg Lesson Options - Buddy Buddy lessons are a great and convenient way for two siblings to receive an excellent piano education while saving time and money! Buddy lessons are reserved for siblings close in age and ability level. In these lessons, siblings will get the benefits of individual instruction, as well as overlapping time with each other. During “buddy” time, we work on technique building, duets, theory and ensemble improvisation. I currently offer a 75-minute lesson length for buddy lessons and usually divide the time in one of two ways (depending on my lesson plan for the week): 30 minutes one-on-one + 10 minutes buddy time + 5-minute parent conference 25 minutes one-on-one + 20 minutes buddy time + 5-minute parent conference Siblings ten and older who do not require conference time will increase their buddy time by five minutes. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60198afa1360e82744b61eff/t/60300f10feee316e1acfae57/1613762330439/zoom%2Bset%2Bup%2Bearly.jpg Lesson Options - Zoom Online lessons work great for snow days, travel when you have access to a piano, or when your child is contagious, but is still feeling well enough for a lesson. My remote lessons include: 3 different camera angles Loads of games on Google slides and PowerPoint Software like Classroom Maestro to help relay information to students Well designed and engaging lesson plans https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60198afa1360e82744b61eff/t/60300ea41017941906dc85d1/1613762228097/avery%252Bat%252Bpiano.jpg Lesson Options - Individual For children enrolled in the Piano Pups or Little Paws Piano Programs (ages 5-9), the last five minutes of the lesson is reserved for a parent conference. This allows me to show you how to best support your child at home during the week. Parental support is an extremely important factor in musical training and will help your child show continued growth and progression with piano. Ages 6 years and under: 40 Minutes Ages 7 years and up: 45 Minutes or 60 Minutes Available
