Flute Lessons Portsmouth County, VA

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I consider myself to be both traditional and old school at certain times, however. I firmly believe that students will lose interest in music quickly if I always teach all students the same techniques and follow conventional music theory. For piano lessons I usually begin without any books until they are comfortable with the weight and the feel of the piano keys. After that I really like to use the John Thompson's piano book grade 1, and I have had many good results with my students in the past. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than being a part of instilling the love of music in a student. That is why I believe that it is important not only to work on a high level of achievement, but to have fun while doing it. Music performance comes at different levels and different speeds. We move at the rate that the student needs without stress. I am well versed in many different learning styles and can adapt each lesson for the unique student I am working with. Read More

I have started my own pedagogy when it comes to teaching drums but it is pretty straightforward. The first lesson is about basic technique and learning the drums and cymbals and then moving into being able to play a simple rock beat.

Music is fun! And learning it shouldn't be any more different! I encourage the student to explore what they love in music, a song, a movie, and try to figure it out on the instrument. When you play something that you absolutely love you will have FUN and won't get bored with it. I love seeing my students thrive and let music be their passion as it is for me. Read More

I started teaching flute lessons to my friends in high school from my parents' basement in 2009. Since then, I've gone on to college and have maintained a studio throughout that time. As a teaching assistant, I also taught college courses at the University of Northern Iowa for music education students and undergraduate flute students. In addition to private lessons, I was a Music Together teacher for early childhood music, and worked as an instrument repair technician. Read More
