Music Lessons in Farmington, UT

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Piccolo Music

I want my students to feel comfortable during lessons. After all, playing in front of someone can be scary! I strive to be warm and inviting while also providing direction and education. I put heave emphasis on the basics like scales (major and minor), circle of fifths, thirds and fifths, and sight reading. Having a solid understanding of fundamentals and their instrument will really set up the student for success in the future. Read More

Instruments: Voice Trombone

I really want to focus on what students want to become. It is really important to me to see a student develop a passion of music. With that everyone learns at their own pace so I want to be able to help them learn at their pace. Something I also think is important is I cannot teach everything in one session. If the student is wanting to learn and grow then they have to take on practicing on their own. Read More

Instruments: Piano

My teaching experience mainly comes from my two years of teacher training as part of my degree in keyboard pedagogy. I would assist in teaching a group class of beginners ages 5-6 and an adult class for music majors. I have also taught privately in person and online to both adults and children. I am excited to continue my teaching experience as I learn more about myself and how to be the best teacher I can be. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

My main background has been in the classroom. I have six years of experience teaching choir in secondary schools in Utah and two additional years at the collegiate level so I’ve been able to work with singers from 11 to 20+ years old. Whether your voice is just beginning to change or is maturing, I’ve been there and know how to help! I’ve been playing the piano for over 20 years and love helping students develop a new talent and love for music. Read More

We - meaning me as Instructor and you as Student - will be getting together for one purpose. It is your development as a musician. My role - and this is also my Approach to Teaching - is to connect with you in a Real-Time environment where I will consistently assess your skill level as it relates to your individual musical goals. I treat each of my students as the unique person they are. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet Euphonium French Horn

The best summarization of my teaching style can be condensed to one quote from a former professor of mine. "Guided self discovery." The first step in guiding a student to their own discoveries is to put them in the best possible mentality to succeed. A clear, present, and focused mind is the ultimate goal. I will try meditation, breathing exercises, or simply talking through problems that are too cumbersome to put aside. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is what I call allied teaching. Even though we need to study the mathematics of music, so to speak, we cannot forget that music is art and art is not exact. Music has an infinite number of paths to offer you and even if you know all the scales that exist, if you don't know how to apply them in a harmonious and spontaneous way you will be stuck in the same place.
