Music Lessons in Franklin, OH

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

I began teaching beginner students when I was 16 years old and have been doing it ever since. It's never seemed like a "job" to me. I enjoy the excitement of a first-time student making their first sound to sight-reading duets with more experienced students. I started a flute choir at a local high school and would love to start one of my own at my studio. Keeping things fun and interesting is vital to every student's success and I pride myself on getting to know each student on a personal level to achieve this goal. Read More

I find teaching very rewarding. The benefits of studying music are now well documented. It is amazing to see my younger students begin to excel in other areas of studies. It is also very rewarding to act as a coach with my older learners as they begin or re-aquaint themselves to their love of music. I have been able to bring students of all ages and levels of music and learning ability forward. Read More

Every student is different. Having only one teaching style would be very limiting and would eventually push some students away. I try to find out how each student best receives information, as well as what motivates them to play and become a better musician. From here I can form the lesson around the student's needs, making sure that we are both successful in the process. I try to have fun during lessons and create a personal bond with my students.

Instruments: Cello

Originally born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, I have had the incredible privilege of learn from some of the best cellists and cello teachers in the world. I started playing the cello when at the age of 8 in the 4th grade, and immediately fell in love with it. For the past 15 years I have been a student of the cello and it is my life's goal to continue to master the cello and to teach it to others. Read More

Second, I invite the student to build a relationship with the goal of understanding the fundamental elements of music theory, history, and practices and how we relate and utilize them on the trumpet. It is my responsibility to provide these fundamentals, and it is then the responsibility of the student to learn and implement these elements to the best of their ability and to become inspired to ask questions along the way.

My teaching style depends upon the student! I love reaching set goals, and I verbally check in to take the students feelings, thoughts, and playing into account. We come to a decision together, and I am not the final say on any matter. I see lessons as a collaboration, as I have much to learn from this experience as well. I prepare the student to be adaptable, and to use the skills as effectively in practice as in performance and lessons. Read More
