Physics is an applied math course that explains the physical laws guiding God's world. Topics will cover kinematics, forces, momentum, energy, fluids, thermodynamics, and more, all using a student-friendly text. This class is a good fit for students who enjoy math and science and are interested in a career in the STEM field. This is a full-year course intended to satisfy a student’s high school science credit requirements. Teacher will supplement the text content, administer labs, grade tests, and provide an overall course grade based on test scores, homework completion, and in-class participation. Parents will administer tests at home, sign off on all homework assignments, and maintain communication through Slack.
Requirements:
Students must have strong math skills - most physics problems involve solving for an unknown using multiple equations, unit conversions/dimensional analysis, and geometry concepts (sin, cos, tan). Math concepts will be taught in class and in the book but an underlying speed and accuracy with mathematics is vital. Prerequisites: Algebra 1/Geometry. Students must bring the textbook, a calculator WITH DISPLAY (such as: https://www.amazon.com/Texas-Instruments-Engineering-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B004NB[…]4894100&sprefix=graphing%2Bcalculato%2Caps%2C244&sr=8-14&th=1), a pencil, and spiral bound notebook to class. Materials fee includes the textbook provided by the teacher. Parents must sign off on all homework assignments

Hello, I’m Avonlea and I’m excited to continue teaching piano this year! I’ve taught for the past 5 years at the center. I started music lessons when I was 5 and teach piano and harp from the many years of experience under multiple talented teachers. I love teaching not only the basics of music notes and theory, but also the technique of how you should hold your hands for maximum comfort and ease, posture, and good piano etiquette.
I am available Tuesdays at the center.
I charge $20 per student per half hour lesson, paid by the end of the month via Venmo, cash, or check. Some families choose to pay for the whole semester up front and I am fine with that too.
I was taught piano for 14 years, 9 of those years under Diane Stevens and the other 5 years of advanced piano under Colleen Adent. I was trained classically but also play chords for worship if you want to learn that instead! Not only will we be starting or continuing with your training but we’ll be looking into the technique of how you play to provide the best comfort for your hands. You will need to get Alfred lesson book 1A and theory book 1A if you are just starting out. If you are continuing piano, I will stick with the books you have been working through. I like to find fun pieces for my students as well if they have a song they want to learn. For that, I acquire a Musescore subscription every fall. Totally optional, it is an extra one time $5 from you if your child wants to learn recognizable songs outside of the lesson books. Please bring a notebook so I can write down your notes for each lesson. You can look back at the notes during the week to know what you need to work on. Please message me in Slack once you've applied so I can touch base with you regarding lesson times, thank you!

Hello! My name is Jennifer Faulkner and I welcome this opportunity to help raise up a new generation of musicians and worshippers at Firmly Planted! I love teaching piano, and do so with creativity, kindness, and FUN! My varied experience with Neurotypical and Neurodivergent students allows me to create individual lesson plans based on age, level of ability, and goals of learning for each student. MANY off-the-bench games and proven curriculum are used to support chording, ear/note training, intervals, improv and composition; all things that create excellent musicians!
Details: Lessons are for ages 6 - adult, beginning to intermediate levels. Tuition for weekly 30-minute lessons is $110 per month; 45-minute lessons are $155 per month.
BIO: I offer a lifetime of music education, performance, worship leading, and private teaching experience. Armed with a BA in Music from Simpson College (now Simpson University), I've taught private lessons for over 32 years, homeschooled my children, taught 3-year-olds at a Christian preschool, and have worked in the public education system as Special Ed and Kindergarten Paraprofessional. I am a licensed KiddyKeys Preschool Music program teacher and have taught at various Camas/Vancouver preschools. One of my most challenging and rewarding life-time experiences was creating and implementing a school wide music education and choral program for a private Christian School.
Requirements:
(1) Ages 6 on up, beginning to early intermediate students. (2) Commit to weekly attendance of lessons through May 2025. (3) Agree to practice 4-5imes a week, for 20-40 minutes.

Parents of students under 10 may sit in lessons or check in the last 5 minutes to go over practice assignments. (6) Willingness to perform at end of year recital (or other pre-arranged option). (7) Ability to purchase curriculum as recommended by teacher.
