Description

Hiya, piano teacher!

Want more fun and progress for your youngest piano students? Want to feel  in tune with the kids in your studio, so the kids go from chaotic to cooperative? Want to use your existing piano method book or curriculum with maximum success? If you:

  • Notice your piano student getting distracted but want him to focus on music for the whole lesson

  • Feel she has a rhythm problem and want to get her on the beat

  • Want to feel energized for your family and hobbies after lessons

  • Are tired of books geared at older kids or with only written instructions and no video demos for moving active little ones...

Then Musical Mother Tongue is for you!

Gently guided by a certified music development specialist, this experience helps piano teachers of kids age 3 to 5 become excellent music models for their students. It helps teachers establish a child's initial rhythmic, tonal, & movement vocabulary in a fun, heart-connected way... so that his piano playing is fabulous and he keeps 100% focus in the lesson. And so you go home with enough energy to enjoy your family and your favorite hobbies. No more exhaustion from conflicts and constant redirecting during your lessons.

Most importantly, it launches child audiation, the often neglected inner musical instrument that 'plays' all the others.

In 4, 10-minute video sessions, and with 4 printable PDF lesson plans,  Musical Mother Tongue gives you all the tricks to help kids:

  • move smoothly to music and gain a steady beat in multiple meters

  • stay focused throughout a lesson , both at a the keyboard and off bench

  • sing a hello song and a folk song  in contrasting tonalities in prep for playing on piano

  • chant two rhythmic poems in contrasting meters in prep for playing on piano

Who this course is for:

  • Parent or piano teachers of age 3 to 5

       It's my passion and commitment to help you give your 3-to-5 year old piano students the guidance they need to think music like a mother tongue and become on-beat, in-tune piano players for a lifetime. 
 
       This class is easy and fun for both of you. You will feel confident in your ability to hold your students' attention for the whole piano lesson when we're done. They won't lose focus or ignore your instructions any more! And your students will feel the joy of being heard, learning their own playful way,  and mastering new skills in rhythm and melody.
 
       I have an Early Childhood Mastership Certification from the Gordon Institute for Music Learning.  I value teacher and student happiness, evidence-based practice, and beautiful music for a lifetime! 

     I have enjoyed music all my life, from singing solos in church as a kindergartner to playing piano in elementary school to playing flute in national competitions as a high schooler and singing in opera choruses as an adult... to playing drums in Brazilian and Guinea West- African style groups over the years.
 
       I started teaching music in 2005 and a PhD in developmental music psychology in 2015 in order to bring lifelong music enjoyment to as many children and families as I could reach. And now, it's your turn!
