About the Teacher
|
Ms. Todd has a Master of Science in Teaching, and a Bachelor of
Music degree from the University of Oregon. She holds an Oregon
State Teaching Certification License for grades K-12 and has
taught general music, college classes, and 5th grade.
Sherry is a classically trained pianist with outstanding ability
to play by ear, transpose and advanced studies in theory and
technique. In addition, Sherry is a jazz solo performer and
entertainer here in Portland with small groups and big bands for
over 15 years.
No one is more versatile or more fun to have as a teacher.
Sherry is an expert in many styles of playing, not just
classical, loves teaching, and is equally effective with
children and adults.
“First and foremost, music is to enjoy!” she believes. “Along
with learning pieces, it is critical that students learn the
patterns and theory. This is what creates the ability to play
absolutely anything at sight, and to play it well. Once you have
learned the scales and patterns, you can recognize them in any
piece of music. Starting with an experienced teacher ensures
that you will progress”.
