I had already been teaching online lessons in addition to lessons at the studio, so this necessary transition was a smooth one for everyone. Students continue to receive one on one lessons as well as participate in monthly group classes using their available devices and various platforms. New students are being accepted and can start at any time. ~ Patti “Life seems to go on without effort when I am filled with music.” ― George Eliot ************************************************************************************** Patricia McElroy has been teaching piano since 1982 (in Snohomish County since 1984). The studio, conveniently located in downtown Arlington, has two meticulously maintained grand pianos and two high quality digital pianos for ensembles. Mrs. McElroy is an active member and Past President of the Snohomish County chapter of the Washington State Music Teachers’ Association (affiliated with Music Teachers’ National Association). Her students often participate in many association events including Young Artist Master Series lessons, Sonatina/Sonata Festival, Explore Music! Festival, Music in Action ribbon festival, Recitals, Concerto Competition, Scholarship Competition, Composition Competition, as well as the Music Artistry Program and Music Literacy Program. The studio accepts students of all ages and levels with interests ranging from recreational music making to pursuing a career in music, as well as those with special needs. A variety of repertoire and pedagogical ideas are used to create an individual, comprehensive program of study for each student. All students learn music theory and may also choose to study composition. Artistry and healthy technique are emphasized at every level. Students attend weekly private lessons and a monthly group class (not required for adult students). Group classes provide an opportunity for performance and often include theory, games and other instruction with the added benefit of being a social event. Students participate in a unique incentive program which provides a fun way to track and achieve individual goals throughout the year and earn awards. They can also participate in the Royal Conservatory of Music Certificate Program. Studio Recitals feature a combination of solo and collaborative performances. Students also have the opportunity to give individual or small group recitals and other community performances. Mrs. McElroy is passionate about playing and teaching, dedicated to providing high quality instruction in a nurturing environment, and instilling a lifelong love of music and the piano.
