Hello! I’m Angela! Welcome to the place where I share my ideas, achievements, mishaps, and all of the interesting and funny stories that take place in a short piano lesson! I hope that you will leave me feedback and any ideas that you have. I love to get wisdom from other teachers! Please feel free to let me in on some!
I currently reside in the small town of Chesterton, Indiana… just a few short miles from the beautiful city of Chicago! I love being close to the City, and my wonderful husband (Matthew) and I are never hesitant to spend a long weekend exploring the never ending possibilities that are present.
I began taking private music lessons when I was four years old. No one had to pressure me to play or practice. In fact, before I could even climb up on the bench, I would stand and pluck the keys, trying desperately to make a melody. I was intrigued by the piano… and I still am! I continued taking lessons all the way through college, and I have to say that I enjoy playing the piano now more than ever.
It was always my dream to be able to teach others the same wonderful possibilities that are available from mastering such an amazing and unique instrument. I can truly say that playing the piano and teaching others about it are my passions.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education, in which my majors were English and Music. I have had experience teaching several different subjects. I taught 8th grade math, 11th and 12th grade English Grammar, and 3rd grade music. I have also taught private music lessons, and this is what I desire to focus on for the rest of my life.
I am extremely thankful for all of those who were involved in making sure that I received the proper education when it came to me learning how to play the piano. I will forever be grateful to my Father, Mother, Grandfather,(who always inspired me to broaden my musical horizons), and teachers who have allowed me to experience a joy that I know only comes from music!
