HI!
MY NAME IS SANDY CAIN.
EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER,
I WANTED TO PLAY THE PIANO AND BE A SCHOOL TEACHER. AS YOUNG AS THREE OR FOUR, I’D RUN TO THE PIANO AFTER EVERY CHURCH SERVICE . WHEN I WAS AT HOME, I’D PRETEND THE COFFEE TABLE WAS MY PIANO.JUST SO YOU CAN GET BETTER ACQUAINTED WITH ME, I’D LIKE TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF.
I’M ORIGINALLY FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
I TOOK VIOLIN LESSONS AT SCHOOL STARTING IN THE 4TH GRADE AND PLAYED THRU COLLEGE. WHEN I WAS 8 OR 9 YEARS OLD, I STARTED PRIVATE PIANO LESSONS. THEN I MAJORED IN PIANO AT LONG BEACH STATE UNIVERSITY AND RECEIVED MY BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH A MAJOR IN MUSIC. THE NEXT YEAR, I COMPLETED MY CALIFORNIA TEACHING CERTIFICATE.I TAUGHT MUSIC IN LOS ANGELES SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR TWO YEARS AND TEN YEARS AT COKER ELEMENTARY IN SAN ANTONIO.
IN OCTOBER, 2000, I DECIDED TO START TEACHING SMALL CLASS PIANO LESSONS AND SUBSTITUTE TEACHING.MY HUSBAND,
ED AND MY DOG, SASHA ARE MY BEST COMPANIONS. ED AND I HAVE A HOME BUILDING COMPANY CALLED KARRY COMPANY –CUSTOM BUILDERS . WE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER IN HOME BUILDING FOR THE PAST 22 YEARS.I LOVE WORKING WITH CHILDREN. I HAVE WORKED WITH THE 4TH THRU 6TH GRADE CHOIR AT TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH SINCE ‘FOREVER’!!!
IN JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL,
I PLAYED THE PIANO FOR CHURCH . THEN A FEW YEARS AGO, I WAS CHURCH PIANIST AT LEON SPRINGS BAPTIST CHURCH.IN JULY, 2000
ED AND I ATTENDED A MAYRON COLE PIANO WORKSHOP. MAYRON COLE TAUGHT PRIVATE PIANO LESSONS AND THEN DECIDED TO TEACH SMALL GROUP PIANO LESSONS AT HER CONSERVATORY IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. SINCE SHE COULDN’T FIND PIANO MUSIC FOR SMALL GROUP LESSONS, SHE CREATED HER OWN!!! OTHER PIANO TEACHERS WANTED HER MUSIC SO GRADUALLY SHE STARTED PUBLISHING HER OWN ORIGINAL PIANO MUSIC. ED AND I WERE SO IMPRESSED WITH HER METHOD OF TEACHING PIANO THAT I DECIDED TO TRY IT!!! I MET SEVERAL PIANO TEACHERS THAT HAVE USED THE MAYRON COLE PIANO METHOD © , SOME FOR OVER 13 YEARS. FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE , I WILL HAVE A PAGE ON MY WEB ABOUT MAYRON COLE. YOU CAN ALSO FIND HER ON THE WEB AT: www.mcpiano.com.I
HAVE ENJOYED TEACHING THE MAYRON COLE METHOD FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. I HOPE TO WORK WITH YOU IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE!!!WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO TAKE PIANO LESSONS FROM ME OR NOT, THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY WEB SITE!!!
SINCERELY,
SANDY CAIN
