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. THIS PAST MAY COMPLETED MY 10TH YEAR OF TEACHING
SMALL GROUP PIANO LESSONS!!!!!!!!
MY HUSBAND, ED, AND MY TWO DOGS ARE MY BEST COMPANIONS. SASHA IS NOW 16 YRS.
OLD AND MY NEW DOG, ANNABELLE, IS PROBABLY 5 YRS. OLD. SHE WAS GIVEN TO US LAST
THANKSGIVING. SASHA IS REALLY HELPING ANNABELLE GET OVER ALL OF HER FEARS AND
BECOMING A GREAT “MEMBER OF THE FAMILY”.
I LOVE WORKING WITH CHILDREN. I PLAYED THE PIANO FOR THE 4TH-6TH GRADE CHOIR AT TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
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. SINCE THEN, ED AND I PERFORM AT CHURCH WHENEVER POSSIBLE. ED PLAYS THE SAXOPHONE AND WE LOVE TO PLAY DUETS TOGETHER!!!!!
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. YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MAYRON COLE AT HER WEBSITE: www.mcpiano.com.
WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO TAKE PIANO LESSONS FROM ME OR NOT, THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY WEB SITE!!!
SINCERELY,
SANDY CAIN
