Music Lessons in Bahama, NC

Instruments: Saxophone

I like to customize my lesson plans based on the student's needs. It also depends on the style of music that is being learned. I typically like to start with the Rubank method books. These books follow a progressive sequence of beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. However, this is not necessary; the concept of these books is to get a grasp of the fundamentals. I also provide many fundamental exercises I have created and used in my daily practice. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Harmonica Recorder Keyboard

I have taught all grades Pre-K all the way through 12, and have taught guitar, harmonica, and piano to learners from age 7 up to 60 and beyond. I have creative ways of communicating my thoughts to my students, allowing them to think beyond the familiar and truly understand music in a unique way. My lessons with my students are individualized, and designed to cater to student's unique abilities in lieu of a one-size-fits all approach. Read More

N.J. We were part of a special collaboration between Rutgers University and the arts school.

Instruments: Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Electric Guitar

My experience takes me straight out of high school. I have been a drum tech at West Johnston High School since Fall of 2015. Since then I've risen in the ranks and have taken a much bigger role. In between all of that, I've all taught at Wake Christian Academy as Percussion director for about a year. I've given a couple of students from that school private lessons and I've encouraged all of them to become better and more educated in the marching arts! Read More

Cyndi emphasizes note reading, rhythm, technic and theory at every lesson to prepare students to ultimately learn independently.  Building confidence is key factor in music lessons. Each student is unique.  Everyone has their own learning style, appreciation for music, coordination and goals. In the 1:1 lesson, the teacher has the responsibility to meet the students' unique learning style for the best results. Having conducted research in The Mozart Effect in graduate school, Cyndi firmly believes that music increases spacial ability which leads to better math skills and increases intelligence/apptitude in children.

Instruments: Voice

I am a focused instructor and pursue progress. I come from a background of a love for music that turned into a desire to learn and perform. I owe everything I have become to my instructors, and I try to implement some of their technique into my teaching every chance I get. I have just recently graduated from a three-year master's program in voice performance. Since I've started that program, I have had the opportunity to travel Europe with a vocal ensemble, perform three times at the Grove Park Inn, act as diction coach for a professional opera chorus, and perform Mozart's Requiem.

Instruments: Guitar

Over the years I have developed my own method for teaching guitar students of different levels. The first step is always to determine the current knowledge and experience so we know where to start. For beginners, I like to help the student learn basic chords so that they can quickly play a few songs and have fun right away. The more a beginner enjoys playing, the more they will want to learn and practice. Read More
