About Courtney

Hello, I am Courtney! As a teacher I strive to meet each student where they are at so that our lessons can suit their strengths and needs. I can be a little silly with my young students and believe that music, while sometimes hard work, is most importantly for our enjoyment and emotional expression. I am very patient and love nothing more than a student's "aha!" moment, when something that seems difficult finally makes sense. I've been told by administrators that I have a very calming demeanor with students, which I believe has helped me to create a open and welcoming classroom. I grew up in the mountain town of Stowe, Vermont, where I participated in music activities from the time I was a young child. I was part of our school's band, jazz band and chorus as well as participating in school and community theater both on and off stage. I've wanted to be a teacher since the age of 10, when my youngest sister was born. I loved babysitting, and took every opportunity I could to work with children as I grew up, including teaching Sunday School and being a music leader at a yearly camp. I chose to combine my two passions and become a music teacher, because I believed (and still do) that not only could I assist in their education, but that music is a wonderful tool to help students grow emotionally and socially as well. After teaching in Connecticut for a number of years, my husband and I moved to our current home in Santa Monica, CA. We have a five-year-old fluffy corgi named Duke who lives a double life as a spoiled baby and a hard-working service dog. If you are in the Santa Monica area you may see us out and about at parks, people watching downtown, or generally enjoying the sun.

About the class

Music:

I think it's very important to know what a student already knows, what they want to know, and what their musical interests are!

While traditional teaching methods are important, I think it's equally important to understand what draws a student to music and their particular instrument of choice!

Tutoring:

It's important to understand exactly the goals of the student or their teacher first. Then, we evaluate what parts of the learning are comfortable and what the students struggles with- or feels they are struggling with. Oftentimes we are working towards understanding as well as self-confidence in completing a task.

I have worked with students of all ages! I've worked in public and private schools pre-k-12th grade and am looking forward to working with adults as a private teacher and tutor.
