Music Moves For Piano

Teaching Philosophy

Every child has the potential to learn music. Music learning begins before birth and flourishes with exposure to and interaction with music in a rich, creative and playful environment. When children attend a developmentally appropriate early childhood music class, filled with different tonalities, meters, instruments, improvisation, movement and individualized instruction, they will naturally expand their music vocabulary. This foundation is necessary for music understanding and the success and enjoyment of future formal music learning and instrumental lessons.

Teaching Biography

Krista began teaching early childhood music in 2004 for the University of Delaware’s Community Music School.
