Ceste Stanly, voice, piano, & flute instructor

Ceste Stanly, voice, piano, & flute instructor I'm a passionate, motivated instructor who loves working with students of all ages. I have 20 years of experience and a B.S. & M.A. in Music Education.

In 2003, I graduated from Bryan College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education with a vocal emphasis and in 2011, I graduated from James Madison University with a Masters of Arts degree in Music Education with a Kodaly emphasis. I have performed in the past with the Fine Arts Chorale of Kansas City, Washington Kantorei, Choralis, Arundel Vocal Arts Society, the U.S. Navy Band Sea Cha

nters, and the Three Rivers Dulcimer Society. My teaching experience dates back to my high school days and has continued through the past ten years. I love seeking to discover the unique learning pathway for every individual student and tailoring lessons specifically to grow and enhance foundations that other teachers have already built. I have a number of students who compose their own original material and encourage others in that capacity as well. I am a very kinesthetic teacher. We move around the room a lot during lessons because piano, flute, and voice should be an extension of music that is first heard in the mind (inner hearing/audiation), so note playing/singing is not merely a muscle memory. We sing, tap, or clap 90% of music we learn before we attempt to play it on an instrument or sing it resonantly. Thinking through a vocal line and anticipating the high notes and the openness needed in the body/throat and the breath support needed will help the student discover an unknown freedom and give them tools to help transfer this into other songs.
