Music Lessons in Holly Springs, GA

Instruments: Trumpet Euphonium

I'm a motivated instructor who wants to keep the arts alive by feeding our youth. Music is the greatest language to learn and I strive to give kids a genuinely fun approach to learning music. I'm from New Orleans, La. so playing in the local brass bands truly sparked my interest in the limitless heights the trumpet could take me. I've traveled all over the country to about 30-35 states playing my horn as lead/principle player in various marching, concert, jazz and corporate bands. Read More

My teaching style consists of helping students view the reward found in developing the musical talents and gifts some of us possess. I do not necessarily believe practice makes you perfect, however i do believe practice makes you better; as will that same practice make evident of what your tendencies of studying are. My philosophy is nobody is ever too young or old to learn to play the piano. When you start from the rear, you just have to run twice as fast. Read More

Instruments: Voice

My teaching style is simple and basic. I encourage them to bring water and recording devices. I remind them to keep a positive attitude before we start. We always begin with breathing exercises, scale exercises, warm ups and resonance strengthen and vocal agility. I encourage them to understand how important it is to use your diaphragm to transition in the head voice for great tones and control. I teach the students how to use the resonance to increase tone and volume and use the head voice for less tone and volume. Read More

Instruments: Piano

For beginner students, I typically start with Faber Piano Adventures as it is a very hands-on and interactive way of learning the piano. Once those levels are completed and I determine the student is ready, we move on to more appropriate classical solo repertoire, from various composers, exposing them to every era in Western Classical music, beginning with Baroque through the contemporary period. The goal is not only to build their technique as a performer but to enrich their education by taking a holistic approach. Read More
