Keyz With Eaze Music Portal

Hi there!! Well, as most of you know, I left full time teaching last July 2009, after many years in the field full time. I’ve had quite an interesting road since then. I had the time to explore my own musical adventures, and have learned ALOT!! I am continuing on the path I am currently on, but I also feel my life is now in a position where I can take on a limited class load. I am once again offering weekly music lessons for kids only, ages 6-13, in guitar, piano and voice. Lessons will be scheduled on a week to week basis, to find a time that matches both our schedules.   This should be relatively easy to do, seeing my class load will be very small.  I also teach EVERY OTHER FRIDAY in West Allis, WI at UNCLE BOBS MUSIC STORE.  I have a few openings left there, but not many.  Lessons are $20 per 30 minutes both at my Cedarburg Studio and Uncle Bobs Music Store.  In rare occasions, I will travel to your home for $25 for 30 minutes, although I prefer to stay at my Cedarburg Studio.  So please feel free to contact me, if you are interested in resuming lessons, or if your child would be a new student.

I also hold a SONGWRITING WORKSHOPS FOR KIDS - 1 Saturday per month, for a 2 hour time slot.  {2-4 kids max}  Please look on my SONGWRITING WORKSHOPS FOR KIDS page for more information.  This is a fun, creative, complementary educational format for the student already involved in weekly lessons with another teacher. Next Workshop - July 24th, 2010, Noon-2pm.

Feel free to email me at DEKORAH@ME.COM for further information.  THANKS!!!!!!!

Well hello Everyone!  By now, most of you know I will no longer be teaching private lessons full time because I have gotten very busy with my other company - Dekorah Entertainment.  I am singing, playing music, songwriting for films, acting, doing voice-over/studio work and singing telegrams, just to name a few! I have had SUCH a great time working with all my students, both in my studio and in their homes.  We have all been through so much together, and I will never forget you.  I plan on keeping in contact with everyone as well.  I will keep up this website, but I will change the focus to bringing you all kinds of fun music tips.  I WILL still be teaching periodic Songwriting Workshops for Kids.  Many of my students have written ALOT of original music, and I would like to continue working with those that have an interest in that area.  I will send out emails when these workshops occur, and I will also post them online.  Please visit back often, and leave comments, let me know what you are up to.  PLEASE stay in touch!  You have ALL affected my life greatly - and I will never forget ANY of you…

Much Love,

Miss Lee

Hal Leonard Guitar Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 with CD’s. I highly recommend this series - it will last a long time! The play along CD’s make practice a lot more fun, and improve timing.

My piano student Jenna Burns sings in the Milwaukee Children’s Choir. They are having their 1st Annual Sing-a-thon!  MCC has hundreds of singers grades 1-12.  Many of these singers need financial aid so they can travel the world and sing concerts.   Also the MCC itself needs donations to help re-coup the costs for running this artistic program.  Please visit www.milwaukeechildrenschoir.org and donate your tax-deductable dollars to this great cause.  [Feel free to donate in Jenna Burns name so a portion of these funds may be used to sponsor her upcoming tours ].  Go see them sing at BAYSHORE MALL ROTUNDA on Saturday, February 7th, 2009.  www.bayshoretowncenter.com

 Thanks for considering!
