Eugene Theriault

My teaching philosophy focuses on fostering good practice techniques. While a great deal can be taught in a private setting, the real process of learning to make music requires structured independent work. To this end I focus on a strong foundation of skills and techniques and how to use said technique for musical expression. I enjoy working with students of any age and level.

The first lesson is free, so that the student may decide whether they feel that they can work well with me.

Wendy Nelson Kindermusik

Kindermusik is a classroom learning experience. We teach children music so they can become better learners. It's not about making little Mozarts. It's about developing skills in the whole child - ages newborn to 7 years - cognitive, physical, social, emotional, language and musical. For more than 25 years, we have believed music is the best conductor for learning.
