Piano and singing lessons
Kate teaches both piano and singing privately from her own home. Lessons are available for children and adults and are normally half an hour in duration.
Kate prides herself on providing one to one lessons which are suited to the individual student. There is no one method or strategy which suits all and it is important that students feel able to be an integral part in their own learning process.
Kate likes to incorporate learning to read notation with essential skills such as playing by ear, composing and improvisation. Foundational music skills, such as understanding rhythm and pitch are also developed. Theory of music is incorporated within the lesson and students are encouraged to work at their own pace to develop a thorough understanding of the rudiments of music theory.
Kate has studied the principles taught by Zoltan Kodaly and likes to incorporate the strategies in her lessons. Kodaly's approach is based on teaching, learning and understanding music through the experience of singing. There are enormous benefits in this approach. Examinations are available to work towards for those who wish to take that approach, but this is not essential. |
