More from Julia
“Teaching is my passion. I love helping students develop their technique, style, sound, and confidence. When teaching voice, I start with fundamentals. This includes breath support, resonance, range, ear training, articulation, and body alignment. I like working on songs that students enjoy and feel passionate about. For piano lessons I include music theory, aural skills, scales, and technique. I help students pick songs that will challenge but also motivate them. While fundamentals are important, so is encouraging joy for music!”
Toddler Music Class
Toddler Music Class
This class is designed for ages 1-5 as an introduction to music. It will include singing songs, playing instruments, learning some music theory, and playing games. It will introduce note names, rhythm, treble and bass clefs, and matching pitch. This is the perfect place to start if your child is not yet old enough to learn an instrument. Music is a wonderful way to express feelings and get some much needed energy out!
