Gail’s Unique Method...
enhances students’ ability to learn music, using the latest in digital sound and video to teach individuality, creativity, and communication through music. Gail allows her students’ personal creativity to be expressed. She is well aware of the importance of the classics, theory and proper technic for ultimate performance and knowledge, but she also instills the art of improvisation and transposition for the student’s own personal fulfillment.

Theory, Technic, Transposition and Improvisation...
are all part of the student’s weekly lesson, an emphasis essential to the student musician, yet so often set aside and unexplored. Gail is particularly concerned for the importance of interpretation, in addition to improvisation and transposition. “Improvisation is the ability to weave one’s own expression into a creative musical tapestry,” Gail reminds her students. “It empowers the artist to communicate on a level much higher than mere words can convey.” Transposition enables the musician to not only accompany other performers in “comfortable keys,” but also gives them unlimited means to expand and embellish their creative work.

onto videotape. Being able to see and hear one’s own performance is invaluable for reference and study. Nothing is forgotten or misunderstood; seeing and hearing truly is believing. Working toward perfection is made possible with these powerful teaching aids. Students overcome limiting habits and bring to fruit their own perfect performance. Students learn to be professional performers, for whichever field of music they choose - from Classical to Secular to Contemporary Christian music. Gail’s method encompasses all and is complete.

Creative Expression Through Music
Here in America we have learned to “be our own person,” to “be an individual,” and to “be creative.” How much more important it is to be creative with music. Nothing is more fulfilling than to speak to others through the medium of music. Indeed, nothing touches the soul more completely than music. The art of being able to creatively organize sound that touches lives and souls is unsurpassed by any other mode of communication. It is imperative that students learn to speak through their music and communicate on the most complete level possible. After all, not everyone is gifted with musical ability. Those who have been given this gift have an obligation to share it, and give back to God that which He has given them.
