I am Maggie, my Bachelor's degree is in Instrumental and General Music Education K-8. I have been a teacher and coach in some form since I was 16 years old and have always loved finding creative ways to teach. In lessons, I adapt to the needs of each students (I have taught students of all ages from 4-65) and find new ways to make the learning fun and creative. As a teacher, the primary goal is for students to gain independence. I strive to ensure that students are capable of practicing at home through teaching various practice techniques and encouraging students to identify and solve the problems they are experiencing.
