Mary Elaine A., Voice Teacher, Queens

About Me:
My approach incorporates the Gardner's multiple intelligences into my lessons which takes a lot of planning and a great deal of understanding of what my students capabilities and what he or she want to learn in music. I establish a student's learning style for their instrument and then I plan lessons and use activities that stimulate and develop my student's strengths. I base my teaching on using multiple intelligence differentiation which includes special education students. I also try to reinforce by repeating the lesson for reinforcement
