FUN, PERSONALIZED LESSONS BASED ON A FIRM FOUNDATION
All students will learn a firm foundation for later growth. This includes reading music, finger technique, note values, music theory. No shortcuts taken here, for a firm foundation is essential no matter what music style a student plans to learn. But as a teacher, I know firsthand that not everyone learns the same way. That's normal and totally OK, because I have a plethora of strategies to teach various types of learners. Lesson plans will be sufficiently challenging, but realistic; I will push students enough that they will learn, but at each individual's level. Lessons will progress at the students' rate of learning, with the style of music most enjoyable to that individual student. EXTENSIVE PIANO BOOK LIBRARY
I am quite proud of my in-home piano book library, from which I loan students the books they need for their lessons. This is highly unusual in the field of music education, as typically the cost of books is an additional expense. Borrowing books from my piano book library translates into HUGE savings for you, easily hundreds of dollars over the course of a few years of lessons. With my extensive piano book library, if a student doesn't like one style, we will find another. When a student progresses through one book, I have teems of book to continue the progress. So many piano books!!!
CERTIFIED, EXPERIENCED TEACHER
I started taking piano lessons at the wee age of 6 years old. Subtract that from my current age and you get...a person with many years of piano experience! I have played as an accompanist for choirs and professional musicians, background music in hotel lobbies, for weddings and receptions, in benefit concerts to raise funds for non-profit organizations. I have a professional teacher's license for Colorado, with over 20 years of teaching experience in varied settings from the classroom to small villages in Guatemala. I have been through background checks in various states and at the federal level. SOCIAL IMPACT PART OF MY MISSION
My business plan includes involvement with community non-profit organizations, an endeavor which students are welcome to join! Students can volunteer to perform at various senior centers around Colorado Springs or in the lobby of Penrose Hospital. I plan to provide scholarship lessons to needy students with the guidance of local youth music organizations. I am also researching the possibility of music therapy at homeless shelters in Colorado Springs. I sincerely hope I can use my music to make a positive impact in the lives of others.

"Piano is very fun! Stacy challenges me every week I come in. The songs start out easy, and as you practice and improve, they get very hard." - Trevor, 9-year old student
"When we started lessons I wasn't sure if my kids would stick with piano, especially with Nicole being age 6 when we started. But Stacy has made it so much fun for the kids and so interesting and challenging for each child's abilities each week that they love to practice piano. They look forward to lessons with Stacy and can't wait until their lesson day. I couldn't be more happy with the quality of instruction and how excited my kids are." - Regina, mother |
