Music Lessons in Ellendale, TN

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Keyboard

For piano students I highly recommend the Alfreds books for beginners. After you have some background we can work with the music of your choice, classical, jazz, pop, RnB etc. Some of my specialties include teaching people how to turn chord charts into music, how to improvise and how to use music theory to improve your understanding of music. For guitar I do not use any books as I find most guitar method books to be very old fashioned and not inviting to the student. Read More

I believe that if one can read the music and hear it in one’s head that anyone can play it.

I make my lessons engaging for everyone and am flexible to the students needs regardless of ability levels. Read More

The main objective that I personally strive for is to ensure that my students are properly recognized for their hard work. I've seen many instances when kids will stop participating in extracurricular activities due to lack of positive support from those they would expect it from.

Because everyone is at a different point in their abilites, each student's lessons will be customized to fit where they are, whether it be at beginner, intermediate, or advanced level.

I like to keep hours at an hour, but I understand every student has different needs. Every lesson will begin with a warmup and the understanding of sound production. I like to look at the physical and mental aspects of what produces sound. After sound, it is crucial to work on scales-- as scales are the foundation to all music. After scales, I like to spend time of technique and etudes. Read More
