About Me:ShowMusic has been in existence since the beginning of mankind, and I do think it's here to stay. I believe music has touched everyone's life in some way at some moment. I'm here to share the blessing of music with others. My main philosophy is to be OPEN-MINDED! Whatever a student wants to learn, my job is to cater to that specific plan of the individual. Whether the goal is to play all Bob Dylan tunes, or to be able to improvise on jazz standards, or to make original compositions, I can adjust to every student's style of learning and goals. I appreciate all students: those who want to make music their full-time career, as well as those who simply want to relieve stress and enjoy the purity of it all. Our capabilities as humans are greater than we give ourselves credit for. With patience and the right motivation (and of course a knowledgeable teacher), many students will see great success. Music is beyond skill alone, it is an art. The idea is that we can all connect musically, and all understand that music holds no boundaries. -"Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand" --- Stevie Wonder

About Me:ShowHello! My name is Carolyn. I was raised in the suburbs of Chicago. I started playing the piano at a young age and took piano lessons throughout my adolescence. During high school, my musical focus turned to the flute and singing. Singing quickly became my passion. I attended college at Lawrence University in Appleton, WI and graduated in 2006 with a Bachelor of Music in K-12 choral and general music education and a Bachelor of Arts in German. As a student in the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music, I received training in singing opera, art songs, and musical theater. I am a dramatic soprano with a rich mezzo-like voice quality and am qualified to work with all voice types. I have roughly 10 years of experience in teaching private music lessons. I am currently a general music teacher at an elementary school in Phoenix, AZ and am looking to build my own studio of students. MY EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENTS: Piano and voice students must have regular access to a piano or keyboard for practicing and their lessons. The student (or student's family) should be prepared to purchase or provide song books. I can make recommendations on an individual basis. Students must practice between lessons. This ensures both of us are getting the most out of our time together. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME: I will tailor lessons toward your individual needs, goals, and interests. My goal is to support your personal preferences for music while expanding your knowledge of all genres of music. I will recommend the purchase of repertoire or supplies only if there is a genuine need for the purchase. Likewise, I will only recommend products or literature that I believe will be of the most value to the student. I will continually give 110% and offer you all the techniques and resources I can to support you in your musical endeavors.

Pianos are popular instruments for private household ownership and have gained a place in the popular consciousness, and are sometimes referred to by nicknames including: "the ivories", "the joanna", "the eighty-eight", and "the black(s) and white(s)", "the little joe(s)". Playing the piano is sometimes referred to as "tickling the ivories."
