November 16, 2009 Teacher conducts valuable lessons in Kindermusik
By Kara Houser, Staff WriterShare:  
November 16, 2009 — Have you ever tried to teach music theory to a five year old?
Teresa Birch does it multiple times a day...and it all started from teaching primary music.
A member of the 6th Ward in the Spokane Washington Stake, Birch teaches a program that incorporates basic music theory into lessons for toddlers that are said to improve literacy and language skills.
Birch was actually a primary music teacher before starting her first Kindermusik class. Having seen Birch's teaching style with children in primary, one of her piano students casually mentioned that she would be a great Kindermusik teacher.
Teresa Birch teaches 26 kindermusik classes each week. Contributed Photo.
Birch, who was busy with piano lessons and raising her family, brushed the idea aside. However, when her husband became unable to work due to medical complications, she suddenly found herself the main breadwinner of the family and was reminded of her student's idea. Seven years later, Birch has almost totally quit giving piano lessons and now teaches a total of over two dozen Kindermusik classes each week.
