I’ve got a certificate in audio recording and audio production from NWTC. ,I’ve taught a little bit of saxophone to elementary students during high school. ,I’m in a band called The Sax Addicts. ,I was awarded 2 high school exemplary musician awards awarded at the state level of solo and ensemble. ,No restrictions,Ear training mixed with book training. I want students to learn how to play by ear and feel the music they play. Having fun is also very important! ,I’m familiar with playing just about anything. I’m very open to any genre of music. ,Ear training is very big for me. I’d like students to be able to identify what they like to hear and replicate it from listening to and feeling the music. I’ll also teach by the book too when I feel like it is necessary. ,My number one expectation is for my students to have fun and explore the instrument the way they want to. I will lay out individual expectations for each student as I figure them out and learn what best suits them and there goals as a musician. ,Intermediate,I will figure out what is best for my student to make them the best musician I possibly can. ,,,,,,,,, Dr Steven Schani,10/10/2024 14:26:31,Green Bay,"Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, Guitar, Ukulele",1988,100,,"Bachelor of Music Performance, Master of Music, Doctorate of Musical Arts","I have over 50 years of experience teaching Violin, Viola, guitar and bass.","Green Bay, Fox Valley, La Crosse, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Weidner Philharmonic to name a few.
