Music Lessons in Harvey, LA

Instruments: Voice

I have been told that I am a very energetic and encouraging teacher - I want my students to succeed and to be happy in their singing! I defintely will not stay seated behind the piano for the entire lesson. I like to get up and get involved! I won't ask students to try anything that I won't demonstrate myself first, which I have found usually puts them at ease (this is especially true with children and teens.) I have been a voice student myself for many years, so I know how it feels to be in their shoes, and I try to be as constructive and encouraging as possible while helping them discover their voice.

Teaching is something I naturally love doing, simply because I see it as an opportunity to share my interest and passion for a particular subject with someone, so that they may develop the same fondness for that subject. I believe the most important role of a teacher is to spark passion and curiosity in his student, hence my goal is to successfully demonstrate to my students why music is so amazing!I have about a year of teaching experience, tutoring high school students.I also have been teaching piano to my roommates and friends during my college, and have successfully hooked many of them to music.

When I am teaching, I learn my students. I understand who they are, what they need to know and am constantly evolving my practice in order to help my students grow. I am especially good at pinpointing what my students are doing well, creating engaging lessons, and helping them leave knowing what they need to do for the week in order to improve. I like to nest the learning of scales, chords, and techniques within the music that my students are learning. Read More

I am not strict in one specific style. I try to be malleable in my approach as I get to know the habits and abilities of each individual. I've had students for whom I thought it best to be more rigid and repetitive drill based, while others seem to benefit from a more passive guru. It's a spectrum. Always, though, I try to control the pace of the session, to speak thoughtfully, honestly, and constructively whilst always maintaining the utmost respect for the struggles that a student is facing.

The first thing I do is find out where you already are. If you’re a beginner, we’ll get right into the basics and build from there. I like to use a book to supplement lessons but not as a main focus. If you’ve already been playing, I’ll usually try to find anything you may have missed along the way that I consider to be important. Once the basics are covered, our path is greatly dependent on your goals. Read More

Instruments: Drums

My name is Joshua. I recently graduated from Ball State University in Indiana. My passion for drumming began as a teenager, and I was fortunate enough to have a very supportive family who encouraged me to do what I loved. I will always be grateful for that. Given the right kind of support and teaching, I firmly believe that anyone with the drive to learn can have a very rewarding and fun experience with the drums. Read More
