Piano Teacher Gwinnett, Her Place of Yours, All Ages

 The following note is from Susan Cokely, and Piano Teacher in the Gwinnett County Area.  If you contact her, be sure to mention that you found out about her on this blog.

My name is Susan Cokely.  My family and I are new to Atlanta and we are living in Duluth.  I began singing and playing the piano at the age of 7.  I received a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from Azusa Pacific University in 1987.  Upon graduation I used my gifts and talents in the church.  I began singing and playing piano for choirs and "praise" teams and also directed children's choirs.  I have also had the opportunity to work with Middle and High School students.

Upon the birth of our first child, I began teaching piano and immediately realized my love for teaching.  That was 18 years ago and I have been teaching all ages and levels ever since.  I absolutely love teaching  and know that it is what I'm called to do.  I delight not only in teaching the basic fundamentals of piano and exposing my students to all kinds of music, but most importantly I love watching them develop a love for music.

If you are interested please email me at susancokely@yahoo.com.  I teach not only in my home but am willing to come to yours.  I look forward to hearing from you!!

Music Lessons in Sugar Hill/ Gwinnett County

Music by Patti has moved to Sugar Hill (1400 Buford Highway, Magnolia Office Park, Suite K-7, Sugar Hill, GA  30518).  Music by Patti is only approximately 4 miles from our former location in Suwanee.

 

I offer private and group lessons in piano and voice.  Private lessons can be expensive, especially with multiple children in homeschool families...so group lessons may be a less expensive, but very effective alternative.  I can teach up to six students in a group for piano and up to twelve students in a group for voice.

 

If there is enough interest in this new area, I will continue Homeschool Choir/Musical Theatre groups and preschool music classes.

 

I have award-winning students from the local to the national levels.  My base instruction is classical music, but I teach all styles and genres. 

 

I am a nationally certified teacher by the Piano Guild of the American College of Musicians, and I am in the Piano Teachers Hall of Fame.  I belong to most major music teaching professional organizations including  Music Teachers National Association, Georgia Music Teachers Association, Gwinnett County Music Teachers Association, Northeast Georgia Music Teachers Association, Music Educations National Conference, Georgia Music Educators Association, National Guild of Piano Teachers, National Federation of Music Clubs, Georgia Federation of Music Clubs, and Buford-Suwanee Music Club.  I hold offices/positions in most of these. 

 

My students consistently receive top talent ratings in the Piano Guild Auditions and  Superior and Superior Plus ratings in Federation Festival.  They sing and play keyboard/piano in praise bands at church, go to All-State Chorus, accompany chorus/choirs/instrumentalists at school, win talent shows and competitions, star in musical theatre performances at their schools/in their communities, and excel in musical activities in general.  Many of them have won full college scholarships and majored in music in college. 

 

Contact Patti at musicbypatti@charter.net for more information.  I'd love to hear from you via email!  (Since I teach most of the time, it is hard to return phone calls, so email is the best way of communication).

 

Afterschool times are filled, but some times are available before 3:00 p.m.

 

Visit my new Music by Patti Facebook and check out some of the information I've posted so far.  Be sure to check out the photos for our Summer Camps 2010 and some of our past musical theatre productions!
