subject: Music Classes For Kids Mountain View | Guitar Lessons For Kids Sunnyvale [print this page] My name is Alison White, and I am an experienced music teacher available to teach adults, families, and kids in the Bay Area.
My teaching philosophy is that guitar, piano or voice lessons can help children in achieving goals, increasing their self esteem, and developing technical competence. Music lessons can also enhance self expression, fine motor coordination, and be used for other therapeutic purposes.
After an initial evaluation, each child will receive a custom music lesson plan. The plan will take into consideration their needs, abilities and musical goals.

Special Needs :
Guitar Lessons For KidsI am very happy with my results working with children with special needs. I do this through movement, singing, guitar, piano, or percussion depending on their abilities and interests. Currently, my students include children with learning differences, as well as developmental disabilities including Autism.
Some clear benefits are the development of fine motor planning and sequencing skills, and improved self esteem. I have an eclectic approach based on my background in psychology and music and have the ability and willingness to adapt to the specific needs and skills of the child.
Id be happy to talk with you more about my program.
