Our Story
At five years old, September began her journey as a musician. During her years of classical study, she realized that learning to play an instrument was not only a wonderful way to gain confidence in herself but it also instilled a work ethic that, in today's hectic world, is often difficult to find the time to develop.
Fresh out of college, September began September's School of Music. Her school believes that every child CAN learn to play the piano! Unlike other studios, her school welcomes students as young as three years old! Even from that early age, children can develop an ear for good musical sound and learn how to recreate those sounds. The idea that children are capable of learning music just as they can learn language is based on Dr. Shinichi Suzuki's Talent Education Research Institute in Japan.
September School of Music uses the concepts and material of the Suzuki method, but also pulls resources from other helpful sources as well, as no two students are alike and each needs an individualized approach to learning their instrument.
My Teaching Philosophy
My aim is to give each child who enters our studio, a thorough and quality music education. Loving and accepting each individual, exactly as they are, is a core value of mine. I believe strongly that every child CAN learn to play the piano well. Our studio is for all families, those who have some knowledge of music and those who have no previous experience at all. All are welcome and have a valued place in our school.
I aim to foster in each student, a lasting confidence that they can do great and amazing things and encourage them to go forth and serve their communities. As a teacher of music, I deeply value the relationships I have with each student. It is through that care that I exhibit toward them and their families that I aim to inspire the following:
-
An ability and confidence that each child can do great things even when they are hard,
-
A willingness and desire of each student to share their musical abilities with family, friends, and community members
-
An understanding that each student and family is a valued member of our studio,
-
An ability to focus on a task until completion, even when the middle is difficult,
-
A thorough understanding of the elements of music and an ability to play their instrument with beauty and skill,
-
An understanding that music is a life-long skill that they will never out-grow. That through music, students are able to develop creativity, express emotion, and share beauty, of which the world needs as much as it can get.
