Bobbie Rastall has a B.M.E. (music education) degree from West Virginia Wesleyan College and an M.A. (piano pedagogy) degree from California State Univ. Fullerton. She is also nationally certified through the Music Teachers National Association as a professional piano teacher. Bobbie has taught piano for 30 years.

The lessons are half hour at the piano and half hour in the lab. The lessons are traditional piano lessons. The lab contains computer stations, a listening station and a digital piano. Students are given specific assignments for the lab. They explore music history, theory and composers. They raise their level of proficiency in composition, ear training, note reading and rhythm reading. They listen to some of the worlds greatest classical music as well as the music they are working on. The lab experiences supplement and enhance the music lesson. The two sessions, lesson and lab, go hand in hand. Each student's course of work is designed by Bobbie specifically for the student. Her goal is to teach neighborhood kids to love music, be able to play the piano, and be musically literate. Please check out our web site: www.rastallmusic.com
