Staff Profile: Barbara Bownds

Name: Barbara Bownds            Teaches: Piano

Years Teaching: Music instruction in public school: 9 years; private piano instruction: 5 years.

Student Practicing Philosophy: "Students need to practice at least 5 - 6 days a week.  It is much more productive to spread the practice out instead of trying to do it all in 1 or 2 days. They need to practice slow and steady at first until they can build up the tempo. For longer pieces,  isolating the difficult passages, and practicing those first before playing the whole piece, usually gets better results in less time"

Outside of MTEC: "I like to walk or ride bikes, explore the Metro parks, read, go to concerts or plays, and have fun with my three precious grandchildren!"

Did you know?  Barbara also plays the French Horn!
