About Theresa

13 years teaching experience in Antelope, California. Learn at your own pace. Ages 5-100!

I absolutely love teaching piano lessons. It has been a joy to get to know a variety of people, and to see the students progress on the piano. I am also a mother of 7 grown children and 16 grandchildren, so have had lots of experience working with children.

Requests from friends who knew I could play.

Have played for church congregational singing, and choirs for many years. Also played violin from age 10 to present. Participated with BYU Symphony for one year. Completed two music history classes at American River College.

About the lesson

I use Piano Adventures, by Nancy and Randall Faber, and Mr. Bass Clef Teaches Note Reading by Joyce Lundeen. We move methodically through the books, and the student receives a sticker or checkmark when he or she masters each piece. Special stickers, called Juilliard stickers are given when the student plays a piece perfectly within the first two tries at any given lesson.

All ages from age 5 to seniors in their 70's. I have worked with lots and lots of beginners, as well as those who have had previous experience.

We have an annual recital in which each student is encouraged to perform 3 pieces that they have learned during the school year. I also work up a new piece each year and perform it at the recital. Because I usually have around 40 students performing, we typically have 4 or 5 recital sessions in one day, so that each session accommodates 8-10 students. At the recital, awards are given for completing levels, perfect attendance, highest flashcard score, and highest number of Juilliard points. This event is the highlight of each school year.

Ms Gale has been my sons piano teacher for over 4 years. She is so patient and caring about her students. My son has learned not only how to read music but has established a passion for the piano and its all because of his experience with Ms Gale. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a great piano teacher!!

Theresa is very patient and positive with children. She uses a token system to help motivate her students to practice. She is very structured and her students learn to read music rather than just memorize songs. We have been with her for 5 years and still going strong. She’s terrific!
