About Me
"I love teaching. Having a background that includes some doctoral study in psychology and instruction, I believe that the study of human behavior transfers to all areas of life and learning--including the sound of music and learning of piano, which I have enjoyed my entire life." First studying informally under her father, who was an accomplished guitarist and pianist, Rhonda began formal piano lessons, including chording and classical training, in junior high school. Continuing to study formally and informally, as an adult, she then began to teach piano to her own child when he entered junior high as well as her granddaughter at 3 years of age. As a national speaker, college professor, and workshop leader, Rhonda has taught in traditional and non-traditional settings throughout the United States and in China. Others said to Rhonda that she would make a good private piano teacher, and she is now happily doing that. Specializing in beginner to intermediate lessons for young people with ADHD, Rhonda is now retired from full-time college teaching.

Rhonda C has over 20 years combined experie years of music experience in the Kettering area.
