Ms. Sallee is available for 3-hr. promotional and pedagogical workshops including: |
||||
|
Wheeeere's the Beat? |
 |
||
 |
||||
This session focuses on strategies to enhance rhythmic integrity and expression in a student's playing while learning to manipulate tempo. A large portion is devoted to how to practice and troubleshoot common technical problems that arise in the intermediate repertoire. |
||||
 |
||||
|
Getting Your Students to Think Harmonically |
|||
|
||||
This session shows how Ms. Sallee gets her students using chords in the first year, harmonizing in the 2nd year and reading lead sheets by the time they are in the 5th grade. It also focuses on training the beginning students to think vertically through pattern recognition as well as using harmony to improve their sight reading skills and practice efficiency. |
||||
|
||||
|
How to Hook Adults and Keep Them Motivated |
|||
|
||||
This topic covers the potential fun of teaching beginning adults and how to keep them interested in piano study through strategies from Piano for Procrastinators, her own self-published adult method by Willis. It also includes selecting motivating repertoire that helps adults learn, including solo and duet repertoire that probably isn't covered in most college pedagogy classes. |
||||
|
||||
|
Introducing Your Students to Jazz Study |
|||
|
||||
This topic focuses on preparing students to play in a jazz style by choosing appropriate beginning repertoire. It also focuses on counting rhythms, chord progressions and voicings as well as improvisation. |
||||
|
||||
|
Teaching Ear Training (Without a Theory Book) |
|||
|
||||
This topic covers the endless opportunities that teachers have to refine their students aural skills when it comes to intervals, rhythm, harmonic analysis and even playing by ear. Do we allow our students to think that ear training is something they do in a theory book, without applying it to their own repertoire, music making or even life? |
||||
|
||||
|
Masterclasses for students at any level |
|||
|
||||
Ms. Sallee is prepared to work with individual students one-on-one or in a performance class setting. Any style of repertoire is welcome including sacred, jazz or standard repertoire. |
||||
|
||||
|
