Welcome to Piano Lessons with Ginger!
At Ginger's Piano Studio, she believes that music is a powerful tool that can inspire, educate, and bring joy to children's lives. With a passion for teaching and a love for music, she is excited to embark on this musical journey with your children. As an experienced pianist and educator, Ginger understands the unique needs and learning styles of each child, ensuring that lessons are tailored to meet their individual goals and interests. Whether you are a beginner or have some prior experience, her patient and nurturing approach will create a positive and encouraging environment where creativity and self-expression can flourish.
Ginger includes technique, sight-reading, repertoire, practice strategies, theory, and keyboard skills into each lesson. The Music Artistry Program from the Washington Music Teachers Association is one goal that students work toward each year. In the meantime, students learn to harmonize melodies, learn hymn playing, and improvise as well. Students are invited to 3-4 group workshops each year for theory games and camaraderie. Each semester is filled with studio wide incentive games like theory and repertoire challenges.
Ginger is committed to furthering her education as a piano teacher. She is a member of Music Teachers National Association and Washington State Music Teachers Association. She works to devote a significant amount of time to reading books about the art of teaching, attending workshops and conferences, and taking pedagogy courses where she gains valuable insights into innovative teaching techniques and current trends in the music industry. She enjoys seizing every opportunity to expand her knowledge and expertise.
