About

Hello! My name is Sadie, I am 20 year old college student persuing a career of social work in child welfare. I have a minor in coaching and have always enjoyed working with kids, I have nannied, tutored, coached, and taught (piano, painting, crocheting, and sewing).

I am have played the piano since I was five years old, and I took lessons and competed until the age of 17. I did decide to focus on sports over instruments but I ever stopped playing. I have a great passion for this instrument and the range of power and emotion it can provoke.

I mainly teach younger to middle age children (5-10), and like to follow the Piano Adventures books for a general curriculum outline (I will ask that you have a copy at home so kiddos can practice between lessons if you have a piano at home). My teaching style focuses on the importance of fundamentals, so as to open more doors for whatever genre of music to which they are drawn. The books teach for a mostly classical path, I like to throw in the principals of the Romantic and Modern era's as well because I have found these to be far more enjoyable for young pianists. Plus, when a pianist finds the genre that is right for them, it can be a magical experience that opens doors to a new level of appreciation for the instrument. My goal when working with younger children, is to get them to get them to a point where they may be able to find this love for the instrument, and help them to find music they will enjoy, that will still challenge and result in growth of skill.

This is similar to the formation of my love for the instrument, of course I recognize the instrument will not be for everyone in the long run. I also know how beneficial the piano is in child development in the wide variety of cognitive skills it requires at once. Overall, I am amazed by the opportunity to be a small part in a child's journey in developing into the person they are meant to be, and finding what brings them joy.
