Music and Playing the Piano
I have been playing and learning the piano for over 40 years. I use this skill very effectively in various classroom situations. Especially when teaching very young learners. I have a passion for Rock and Roll and Blues and feel that music has helped me develop an excellent memory and improved my organizational skills. All these skills have helped me further develop my teaching skills as I fully understand what it takes to learn a skill to an expert level.
