A Little About Me: Introduction
My name is Jamie Hendricks! I am a piano teacher for all ages and have been playing the piano since I was about 8 years old -- 14 years of playing the piano now if you want to do the math! I graduated from high school at Arkansas Virtual Academy and immediately started working part-time as a piano teacher at Stephanie's Musique.
I have taken piano lessons from the age of 8 to a year after I graduated high school at the age of 19. During those years I would perform twice a year in front of an audience and had lessons in music theory, technique, and performance. I have been in one National Piano-Playing Audition and passed into the Piano Guild with a certificate. I have also attended a Music Academy for a short time with brief lessons in college level music at John Brown University.
I have been trained for a few months in the summer on how to teach private piano lessons and jumped into teaching in the fall semester of 2021. I have been teaching ever since.
Why Piano?
I chose to take piano lessons when I was a kid and have always loved it. It is very challenging, but also very rewarding! I love to express myself through music and create a story through my playing.
About This Blog
This blog is something that I wanted to do for fun in addition to my teaching job. It will include mini music lessons, posts about different composers and their life and more. I have always wanted to delve into different composers, and this will give me the push to do so!
I hope whoever comes across this blog enjoys the posts. Remember to go practice!
