Musically Motivating Students to Their Highest
Potential
Peggy BeVille holds a Bachelor of Music degree from
Stetson University, DeLand, Florida. Her major was
church music with organ as her principal instrument.
She is a member of the American Guild of
Organists-Clearwater Chapter, the Upper Pinellas
Music Teachers Association affiliated with the Music
Teachers National Association, and the National
Guild of Piano Teachers.
Between 1989-2003, she served as organist at George
Young Memorial United Methodist Church and Sylvan
Abbey United Methodist Church. She is presently
organist at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, St.
Petersburg, Florida.
In 1997, her dedication recital on the new Rodgers
organ at G.Y.M.U.M.C. featured multi-track
sequencing on the PR300 MIDI. This incorporation of
the latest in digital technology enabled her to
prerecord four instruments and solo parts and still
play the organ accompaniment live.

My mission
As a piano teacher, my mission is to prepare
students for performance opportunities that include:
- Annual National Piano Playing Auditions,
local festivals, recitals and competitions.
- Playing something as basic as “Happy
Birthday” when called upon
- Accompanying programs and choirs in school
or places of worship
My instructional style
My musical teaching philosophy can best be described
as one of praise and positive reinforcement.
My students
I enjoy working with students from diverse cultures
whether children, adolescents or adults and find
working with those having special learning
challenges especially rewarding.
Tips for parents and family members
- Listen to the student’s efforts and express
your enjoyment of the student’s playing.
- Record a practice and play it back for the
student. This helps them learn to listen and
accurately hear as they play.
