Music
Lessons & Teaher Ms. Penny
My passion
is music, and it is a thrill for me to see children and adults discover
their joy in music-making, and happy learning. I was certified in
1989 and taught the Music for Young children program by Francis Balodis,
for nearly 20 years. I have studied the violin in the Suzuki method
up to Volume 5. I was singing before i could talk, according to my
mother...and have studied under a variety of teachers, involved in
multiple musicals and choirs. Singing IS a vital part of my daily
life. I have enjoyed learning skills needed in becoming a recording
artist. Song-writing has become a recognized gift, and passion. I
wish to acknowledge God for giving us the gift of music. It is wonderful
to explore, but not complete in itself, until it is shared.
I teach
piano, any level, and beginner levels in violin, fiddle, and voice.
I believe very strongly in ear training, as well as note reading.
Composing is a concept we all can explore, which allows our creative
expression to grow. I like to organize opportunities for my students
to share their developing talents in the community, so we will visit
care homes during the winter, and finish the year with a recital.
Exams through Conservatory Canada, and festival opportunities can
be set up, for those in grade levels.
