Lessons
Teaching Philosophy
To develop each student’s unique strengths through classical techniques, ear training, music theory, and an additional emphasis on creativity, composition, improvisation and performing. Training with the Alexander technique helps students learn correct posture for a lifetime of ease and freedom while playing and singing. We also learn the art of developing fun practice habits!
Students find their own style while we explore the music they enjoy whether it is classical, praise, jazz, pop, rock, folk, or something new.
Heidi is now offering lessons in the Seattle and Renton areas, as well as online, via Zoom and Facetime.
