Music lessons overview
Ever lesson is tailored the the students personalized goals. Every student gets a brand new, individually tailored weekly email with tips, advice, warm-ups, and additional resources to supplement their learning. For piano - we work out of a lesson book, and do handwritten theory exercises. I also utilize additional learning materials like flash cards and games. There is not one singular way that works for each student - some students are drawn to composition and we focus on that - and some have a talent for playing by ear. For singing - we pick one song per month to focus on that will help you grow in your particular goal (singing high notes, better articulations, breathing, etc) we carefully select daily vocal warm-ups.

Megan Wilde led Ross VanHara through a piano lesson covering intervals, chord construction (C major and G7), and sight-reading. Ross practiced identifying intervals, playing chords, and performing songs with attention to dynamics. Homework was assigned: page 35, "Merrily We Roll Along," focusing on C major and G7 chords.

Megan Wilde worked with Libby on her lullaby song, concentrating on incorporating sensory language and structuring the song for better listener engagement. Libby practiced using sensory details in a writing exercise and received feedback on balancing internal and external descriptors. Megan assigned Libby the task of revising the verse of her song to incorporate more melodic repetition.
