Music Lessons in Buies Creek, NC

Instruments: Saxophone

Yes, I will be focusing on fundamentals, skill, and fluidity but if there is anything that I prioritize above all else is art. Anyone can learn to play scales and technically difficult pieces but cultivating creativity and musicianship is the key to developing an understanding of phrasing, purpose, and musicianship. I'm not going to be just sitting around telling my student what to do and how to do it. I want my students to think for themselves and delight that the work they produce is their own. Read More

Instruments: Violin

This is made easy through my well laid-out organization of violin instruction and student practice. I have a series of charts by which the student, teacher, and parent (if applicable) can all easily understand, monitor, and assist the learning process. My goal/vision for my students: This summer, I have a definite vision for each of my students. I want each of them to acquire the foundational techniques that every violinist should have and that is lacking in most violin instruction today. Read More

I began teaching in 2010 when a friend asked if she could take lessons from me. Since then, I've had quite a few students throughout my college years.
