(410) 992-3711		tinasinclair@comcast.netI have 40 years of experience as a Howard County music educator, including 14 years as director of a private music school. I specialize in teen and adult students. I use a holistic approach that blends sightreading, the study of a variety of repertoire, music theory, technical studies, and ensemble music. I treat my students as unique individuals, and strive to make the learning environment stress free and positive with achievable goals. A touch of humor also works wonders! Despite many years of teaching, I am young at heart with lots of energy! I belong to several professional organizations and can provide performance opportunities for those who are interested. 1/29/17
