I am excited to teach your children the joys of making music. I believe that early exposure to the piano for young children needs to be fun\, interactive\, and teach musicianship as a whole and not just th e notes on a page. My lessons will be based on Edwin Gordon&rsquo\;s the ories of how children learn music best. \; Children will move to the music\, sing the notes\, and learn to think musically. All of this will help the children to play &ldquo\;musically&rdquo\;. Many of us were ta ught to plunk out the notes\, looking back and forth at the page\, simil ar to learning to type. \; In my lessons\, the children will hear th e melody\, move to the rhythm and be able to express the music musically \, and then move it to the piano where they can play musically. Most imp ortantly\, music making must be fun!\nI recommend the group lessons\, as children enjoy the social aspect of music making\, and also learn much from observing each other make music. You may also choose the private op tion\, or semi-private. \; Lessons will be offered in my home in Ber lin\, 5 minutes from the center of Northborough. Your child will need a piano or high quality keyboard to practice on.\nPlease contact me by pho ne or by email as soon as possible. I am currently filling spaces for th e fall\, and space is limited. Lessons will be available on 2 weekday af ternoons (to be determined based on your availability). Lessons are also available in the early to mid-afternoon for ½\; day Kindergartene rs and homeschooled children.\n978-838-0080 \; \; \; rcranfo rd@charter.net\n\nPrivate Lessons: $30 per half hour\nSemi-Private (2 ch ildren): $20 per half hour (per child)\nGroup Lessons (4 children): $18 per 45 minutes (per child)\nBooks/CD&rsquo\;s will be an additional cost (approximately $20)\n \;\nGina has both bachelor&rsquo\;s and maste r&rsquo\;s degrees in Music Education from the University of Connecticut . \; She taught high school and middle school choirs for ten years i ncluding at Algonquin Regional High School.
