Stacy Bechtel
Teaches at Meadowood: Tues
Stacy Bechtel is a talented multi-instrumentalist whose first instrument was clarinet. She holds a music education degree from Lebanon Valley College and brings extensive experience as both a private and public-school music educator. Her decades-long role as music director and performer at the Pines Dinner Theatre in Allentown further strengthens the skills she brings to her students at Meadowood Music.
Stacy performs and teaches a wide range of musical styles on woodwinds, keyboards, and strings. She teaches clarinet, saxophone, and piano/keyboard from beginning through master level; bass guitar and folk-style upright bass from beginning through intermediate level; and beginning fiddle/violin along with ensemble upright bass.
Equally effective with children and adults, Stacy is deeply invested in her students’ musical development. She teaches students to read music if they do not already and incorporates elements of music theory to help them develop strong aural skills and the ability to play by ear. Stacy enjoys helping each student set and achieve specific musical goals as they work with her to master the diverse array of instruments she teaches.
We are delighted to have Stacy teaching at Meadowood Music.
Students visit Meadowood Music from communities throughout Berks County and the Lehigh Valley — including Reading, Allentown, Bethlehem, Kutztown, Fleetwood, and Boyertown — for private music lessons. We also sometimes have students who travel to us from places as distant as Lancaster, Harrisburg, the Philadelphia area, and occasionally from New Jersey, New York City, Baltimore, and Washington DC.
