About the tutor
Hey there! I'm Mickaela, a passionate music teacher with a Bachelor's degree in Music Therapy. I first discovered my love of teaching while on an 18 month church service mission in Bolivia and have been teaching ever since. My teaching philosophy centers around making learning fun, interactive, and personalized for each student. I believe in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where students of all levels can thrive and grow. I firmly believe that everybody has great potential and that a positive and supportive tutor can help individuals to unlock and see that in themselves. I offer tutoring in a variety of music instruments including violin, piano, guitar, voice, and ukulele. My student engagement strategies involve incorporating a mix of traditional teaching methods and music theory with modern techniques to keep students motivated and excited about learning. I aim to build a strong rapport with my students to understand their unique learning styles and cater to their individual needs. Whether you're a beginner starting your musical journey or an advanced student looking to enhance your skills, I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way. Let's make some music!

Teaching methodology
As a versatile teacher and tutor in violin, piano, guitar, voice, and ukulele for students of all levels, my teaching style focuses on an interactive, structured, creative, and systematic approach. This also comes from having a background in Music Therapy, in which my main focus is on the strengths of the individual and in helping them to achieve success as early as possible. I believe in engaging my students through hands-on and practical lessons that are both creative and enjoyable. I feel that having an understanding of basic music theory is important for becoming an all-around more versatile musician and so dedicate a little bit of time each lesson to reviewing or learning music theory concepts. Specializing in technical skills, artistry, and creativity in all areas from performance to composition and improvisation, I offer personalized and specific suggestions for improvement. My emphasis lies in honing technique, expression, and creativity to help you perform, compose, or simply enjoy music on a deeper level. I absolutely love making music and that's really why I do this; I want to help others find that same passion and love for music that just keeps on giving back. Let's embark on this musical journey together!
