Jessica Tuttobene - Musician and Educator
|
Music Lessons - Greece/Hiton, NYLessons are generally 30, 45 or 60 minutes per week. Lessons include teaching fundamentals of music: theory, technique, musicianship and performance. Skill level of work, amount of work assigned, and practice schedules will be varied for each student. "Music is such a wonderful way to enhance growth and learning at any age. Just as an athlete must train both the body and the mind, so too do musicians. We are musical athletes, if you will. The training and practice we put into learning to play, we then see in our performance. Still, music goes beyond just notes on a page and allows us an outlet for expression as we bring music to life through our practice and performance. Through music, we can focus on the whole person: mind, body, and soul." - Mrs. Tuttobene Currently only accepting cello students.
