Instruments: Piano Guitar Trombone Drums Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Growing up with a music teacher for a mom, I began playing piano, learning music theory, and sight-reading at age 5. After years of studying piano, I expanded my musical journey by picking up the trombone, bass, guitar, and drums by the age of 12. I am a passionate instructor who loves to watch students grow and develop. The majority of my teaching experience has been in the realm of sports and physical education, however, I have a deep love for music and it brings me joy to share my gifts with others. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

I supply all of the materials for my students. For beginners, I ask that they choose 5 songs they really want to learn to play. Through those songs, I can introduce many technical and musical concepts. It is very important that this is a positive musical experience. For other skill levels, I assess their skill level and proceed accordingly to help them achieve their musical goals, working with technique and musicality to create a great player. Read More

 I implement materials of my own design mixed with songs of the students choosong and tastes, and typically have them up and playing a song or two that they like in a couple of lessons.  All ages, styles, and expereince levels are welcome. For reading,  I like to use a combination of notation, tabs and chord diagrams.  And while I dont absolutely insist that the student learn to read notation, I do strongly encourage it. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Music Acoustic Guitar

I like to find songs that students really care about, because then they will be more interested in learning them. My teaching style is very flexible in that all students are different, and learn in different ways. Ive taught really young kids and Ive also taught seniors. I find it fun meeting new challenges and seeing what new musical abilities I am capable of. I teach music theory, piano, drums, guitar, bass, and voice. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Mandolin Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I believe that music a personal experience. When faced with a new student I always ask them what type of music they are into and what are they interested in learning and how that type of music makes them feel. It is a critical part of my teaching method. I believe when a student is learning something they have a personal connection to they are more engaged. For beginner students I have them do exercises and teach them about various scales. Read More

...Figaro role from Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro if you’re curious. Basso Buffo roles often provide more personality than lyricism in a given opera. Basso buffo singers need to demonstrate a beautiful and rich tone (despite the antics of their roles, bass buffo roles rarely call for any harshness of sound), and a degree of comfort regarding agility, coloratura, and patter singing techniques. Give Leporello’s role from Don Giovanni a listen to hear an example of buffo singing.     Basso Profundo vocalists sing in either a lyric or dramatic style. As you know by now, lyric profundo basses posses a smoother... Read More

...and choruses with new material, it’s time to add in a bridge. Bridges keep music interesting by presenting new musical and lyrical content in the middle of a song. This is a section that keeps a song interesting by adding new chord progressions and perhaps a thicker plot to the music. Not every song needs it, but a thoughtfully-placed bridge has the ability to refresh the listener’s palette. If you struggle to write songs that aren’t repetitive and boring, adding an interesting bridge to your music might be the trick to break up the verse/chorus monotony.   Endings   An ending is a ...

...to be as efficient as possible. There are several different ways to approach jazz and jazz education; there are many different schools of thought. Likewise, there are a lot of ways to approach playing in 12 keys. Everyone learns differently.
