Kimberly Ann - Know your guitar teacher
I'm Kimberly Ann, a singer-songwriter, performer, multi-instrumentalist, music instructor, and academic tutor. I support my students in a variety of disciplines, including and primarily guitar, piano, voice, and music theory. I also tutor math through 12th grade, Spanish language for English speakers at any age, and social sciences through senior year at the university level. All of these topics have neatly folded themselves into my life, helping me to appreciate their harmonious interconnectedness. My style of teaching is entirely taylored to the student before me. It is always a pleasure to meet my students where they are, to get to know them, and to help them succeed in a way that suits their unique needs. For my music students, I offer 1) personalized guitar lessons, to include all guitar types (acoustic, electric, classical, and bass), 2) custom piano lessons, and 3) engaging voice lessons, all by approaching it with the student's musical inspiration such as their favorite song or artist. For my more artistically conservative clients, I have reams of classical and jazz music that I am happy to offer as well. I work comprehensively with my music students on their posture and technique, understanding their scales and chord progressions, ear training for pitch sensitivity, and bringing it all together to create beautiful melodies and compositions. For my academic students, we practice what they are working on in class (or work) in a way that simplifies the learning process. When it all become overwhelming, it's always nice to have a calm, quiet virtual learning space to break down concepts that are sometimes presented to in an overly complicated fashion. It is my pleasure to make life easier for all learners. I would love the opportunity to do so for you.
