Welcome to Ms. Malinda's Music Studio
|
I offer 1-on-1 Piano Lessons in my home-based studio, just south of Fort Smith, AR
for beginner to intermediate students, ages 4 years to adult. My teaching philosophy focuses on whole body learning incorporating the philosophies of Kodály, Dalcroze and Orff. These techniques are recognized for introducing musical concepts progressively for steady skill development, integrating movement with music to develop a physical understanding of musical concepts and linking music and movement for a more engaging learning experience.
See below for more information on my programs of instruction by age-group . . .
| Ages 4 to 5 | Piano Safari Friends | Piano Safari Friends is a curriculum for young students ages 4–6 that helps them learn music through movement, singing, and imitation. The book is designed to prepare students for Level 1 of the Piano Safari Method and to help them develop a foundation in rhythmic notation and pre-staff reading.
