About Hillary Burdick

Education: BA in Music and Worship Arts at Crown College

Performance Experience: Music was my major in college, and though I was a vocal performance focus, I also worked a lot on my piano and guitar playing skills during that time. I have experience performing all three of these instruments at school, in church settings, and even on the road. I have been on several choir tours all over the US and in Europe, and I also traveled with a band as an electric guitarist for two years after college! I am still seeking out opportunities every day to hone my performance skills.

Teaching Experience: 5 years: piano teacher 3 years: voice teacher 1 year: guitar teacher 2 years: literacy specialist

Teaching Philosophy: Through my experience teaching and learning my instruments, I have found that the only way to truly enjoy your instrument is to find something that truly interests you about it. I believe hard work is also very important; the only way to truly learn is to practice regularly. One way to motivate yourself to work hard is to truly enjoy what you are doing! Therefore, it is my desire to teach you to enjoy your instrument, and give you all the necessary tools to excel at it in the process!
