Make Your Musical Dreams Come True
If you've always wanted to enjoy playing the piano or enjoy singing you're in the right place. You've found a piano teacher and voice coach who makes learning fun, is passionate about musical expression and is committed to helping you reach your musical goals. I am specially trained in adult learning techniques - which means you will learn more quickly and retain more!
It's Time to Put Yourself First!
Don't spend another day putting everyone else first. Now, it's your turn. Musical expression is a wonderful way to experience peace of mind, joy and freedom. Clients often tell me that, aside from their musical progress, putting themselves first increased their feelings of self confidence and self esteem - which paid dividends in other areas of their lives, too.
Helping you bring the joy of music into your life is an honor I look forward to.
PIANO LESSONS
Learn how to express yourself musically. This includes sight reading, playing by ear, composition and music theory.
What to Expect |
|
Beginners: you'll learn the basic building blocks of music including keys, scales and chords and how to read all those little black dots on a piece of music and play and perform simple songs with ease. |
|
Intermediate: Hone your skills and agility on the keyboard, gain understanding and finesse in playing intermediate musical pieces. Increase confidence in performing for yourself and others. |
|
Advanced: Build from the basics to learn the fundamental musical styles so you can play by ear and improvise your own style. Performance techniques and presentation confidence. |
|
Professional: gain valuable coaching and feedback on your performance and presence on stage. How to be compelling and heartfelt so your music lifts your audience, not just entertains them. |
Ages: Adults and high school seniors. (We can recommend teachers for children.)
VOICE COACHING
You'll have more fun singing as you improve your singing voice, gain singing skills and boost your confidence in your voice. What's even more exciting is how these gains can positively impact other areas of your life. Clients frequently report that their confidence and ability to communicate easily improves in other areas of their life – at work, at home, in difficult situations, etc.
What to Expect |
|
Beginners: You'll learn how to sing on pitch and how to project your voice. As your sound quality improves so will your confidence. Expect singing shyness to diminish and enjoyment to increase. |
|
Intermediate: You'll create a better, more pleasing sound and tone. Your confidence will increase and so will your enjoyment. |
|
Advanced: You'll learn how to perform on stage, including how to establish stage presence. This means expressing what's in your heart through your voice. |
At every level, you'll learn how to relax, tap in, and let go - this is what makes performing fun and entertaining. Hitting the right notes is a good first step but it takes more than that to connect with the music and your audience. The magic of music starts here – for you, the performer, and your listener. Be prepared to experience true joy.
WHAT TO BRING
Selecting Your Music
Select three to five songs per season that feel comfortable and inspire you. This will make the process of learning them more enjoyable. Rideau Music on 12th Avenue SW in Calgary has an excellent selection. You can maximize your session time by bringing your music with you to every session.
Notes
Bring a journal or notebook to record the results of your sessions. You will receive homework and suggestions on what to focus on. You are welcome to bring a tape recorder and blank cassette or other recording device so you can replay your lesson back at home.
Scheduling
Appointment times vary from 45 – 60 minutes and can be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly to suit your objectives, availability, and budget. Sessions are available noon to 7pm, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays year round (with short breaks at Christmas, Easter, and summer).
Fees
Fees are based on the number of sessions you commit to. Please call for more information about current rates and packages, 403-229-9321. Completing a commitment to yourself can be challenging in many ways: life happens, being busy, feeling scared or frustrated. The urge to quit can sometimes seem overwhelming. You can count on me to support you in completing your initial commitment to yourself, to help you move through the fears (and subconscious delay tactics) that arise so you can achieve the results you desire. For this reason it is my policy that, once committed to a term of lessons, fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. Please give this careful consideration before hiring me. I am here to help you fulfill your musical dreams.
