Each week on On a Mission, Penny Kievet talks to wonderful people doing wonderful things around Jacksonville. This week, Penny talked to Liz Deal from The Wonder of Music.
I teach piano in the Julington Creek area of St. Johns County, FL. In my lessons I teach the basics of music in fun, inspiring ways. In addition to our traditional time at the piano, lessons include creating at the keyboard and learning music theory and composition through child-friendly computer programs. My goal is for your child to love music because they are able to understand it, read it, play it, and share it with others. I feel strongly that music is a gift, and it needs to be shared with others. This is why I include community service in my curriculum. Each semester we present a recital for friends and family and enjoy an opportunity to play for others who are less fortunate.
