Savanah E.

Hi there! My name is Savanah yes, that’s Savanah with one “n” in it—ask me about that later! I went to school up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and graduated from Baptist College of Ministry in 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Bible and Music Pedagogy & Performance. My passion for music began when I first started taking piano lessons as a freshmen in college it’s never too late to start! I was taking piano lessons for fun but that quickly changed when I saw the need for training up new pianists to use their gifts to bless and serve others. I switched over my degree from Elementary Education to Music in the middle of my sophomore year and never looked back! I accomplished both a Junior and Senior Recital performing classical works and have over 10+ years experience teaching beginner to intermediate students. Currently, I am playing piano and singing weekly at my church! When I am not singing, playing, or teaching piano, you can find me baking sourdough bread, trying new artsy crafts, getting coffee, browsing at antique shops, or fishing with my hubby! I have been a piano teacher for over 10 years and have developed an approach to piano lessons that works with my strengths and personality. I focus on 4 things: Technique: development of finger/wrist strength, dexterity, form, posture, and accuracy. Improvisation: learning the language and structure of music in practical application. Some music theory will be incorporated into the lessons as well. Repertoire: Classical piano literature and hymn-playing improvisation. Ear training: Singing, as well as learning to play music by ear on the piano will be incorporated into the lessons. Parents are encouraged assist their child at home and observe the lessons. I believe that it is important for students to fully memorize a piece and perform it for an audience. It gives you a sense of accomplishment and a goal that you are reaching for. It will also increase your confidence in your ability!
