Music Lessons in Derita, NC

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. My philosophy is to practice, practice, practice. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Synthesizer

In the past I have carefully guided students through the selection of materials that would insure steady, gradual progress. Learning a musical instrument should be a fun and enjoyable experience with a sense of personal satisfaction and fulfillment. I place great emphasis on areas such as theory, harmony, transposition, ear training, sight-reading, improvisation and areas of interest to the student such as musical styles.  Whether you aspire to one day play professionally, attend a music school or just play for your own enjoyment, we can set goals together to reach the level you desire.  Read More

Instruments: Drums

I am a self-taught drummer who has honed my skills through in-person lessons, self-discovery, and online resources like Drumeo. Over the past three years, I have taught a variety of styles to students, from those eager to master rock songs to drummers currently performing in various settings. My teaching philosophy encourages students to cultivate their unique abilities through regular practice. For younger learners, I incorporate engaging games that reinforce lesson material, while for older students, I introduce concepts like "Film Study," where they analyze the playing of drummers who inspire them.

Instruments: Trumpet

As stated in my experience explanation I use the piano as a teaching tool. however, I do not require that students know how to play the piano at all as I will only be using it for extremely simple demonstrations. I strongly believe in the vocal chords being directly related to the training of a musicians ear and how they understand playing their instrument and, therefore I teach a small bit of basic singing skills.
