Music   >   Piano
Lesson Name:  Kathryn Thuma
Normally, students receive a one-half hour lesson each week. In addition to the weekly song assignments, students are also given instruction in theory and technique. As students progress, they are encouraged to develop skills in arranging and transposition. Although I am classically trained, I also enjoy teaching contemporary styles of music.
Years of Experience: 30
Biography
I began playing the piano at age six. I began my professional career at age fifteen playing for various service clubs. I won first place three years in a row at the Southwestern Music Festival in jazz improvisation. I have been the music director for over a donzen musical theater productions, and I have worked on various projects as a studio musician. I have been teaching and playing professionally for over 30 years.
Credentials
B.A. in music from CSU Dominguez Hills.
California teaching credential with authorizations in music and English.
Student Requirements
Beginners are welcome. Children under age five will be accepted on a trial basis. I work with students of all ages and am proficient at almost all styles of music.
Notes
Studies show that children who learn to play an instrument do better academically. I am committed to developing a new generation of accomplished musicians. I hope you decide to become one of them.
