My name Geraldine and most of my students call me Ms. G. Music is very much part of my daily life. I have been teaching music for over 15 years and love it. I teach music to young children as young as 4 years old to young adults. Either in your home or online, both work. I even have four year-old online students but in those cases the parents sit with them and learn at the same time. The instruments I teach are keyboard/piano, guitar and voice from beginner to intermediate. Classes are fun and I add theory and games to make them interesting. I love to give a lot of positive reinforcement during my classes. I teach from the very basic and include a theory as well. Voice students will also learn how to perform on stage.
