letter to parents

Dear Parent,

Like you, I’m passionate about the growth, development, and thriving of your children, my students. 

From beginner to advanced, I know how to capture my students’ interest and how to create custom programs for each one.  

Through my unique and powerful combination of technique, theory, and repertoire, my students progress rapidly, and have a good time doing it!  

I believe that music—for that matter, vibrations at all levels—can improve physical health, mental wellbeing, and spiritual fulfillment.

In addition, I believe that the process of learning an instrument is the best way to grow your mind and body at the same time. You increase strength, learn fine motor skills, develop mental speed and flexibility, and learn a new language (that of music). But most importantly, you do this at the same time. So your body becomes smarter, and your mind stronger and more flexible.

Here are some of my qualities as a music teacher: I am organized, I know the textbooks and repertoire, and can tailor it to the student.

I know when to be firm and clear with goals. I help the students to be responsible about their goals, e.g., having them write their own assignments in their book. 

I am a kind teacher with a sense of humour, and I never express impatience. My goal is always to make a connection with the child.

Thank you for taking the time to review my site and I would be delighted to chat with you more about how I can help inspire and teach your child with music!

Sincerely,

Brock Holmes
