Music Lessons in Kingston Springs, TN

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium

I started teaching lessons when I was in my undergrad and really enjoy working one on one with my students and watching their incredible growth and how they fall in love with their sound and music along the way. I encourage students to practice as much as they can without hurting themselves. While taking private lesson is a great step for becoming a better musician only seriously practicing for one hour a week while I teach will not get them to where they want to be. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

I approach teaching by meeting my students where they are and addressing their goals. However, there are fundamental techniques that apply to any application and musical setting that we will cover extensively so that you are prepared to play anything. We will also work on reading and groove. I have played virtually all styles of music common in the USA and am prepared to teach my students how to play them well. Read More

My career as a teacher began 14 years ago, at the age of 14, giving guitar lessons to my friends and classmates around town. Since then I have continued to teach guitar, music theory, and ear-training to beginning and intermediate musicians of all ages and backgrounds. Emphasizing the direct correlation between consistent practice and gradual, sustained improvement is an integral part of my personal teaching method; one of the most rewarding moments of teaching and learning music, for both student and teacher, is when a student sees and internalizes the progress they've made as a result of the work they've put in.

Instruments: Violin Bass Guitar

Under these teachers I've been fortunate to travel all over the country playing violin, one such location being Carnegie Hall for the crescendo competition. In recent years, I am currently now at Lipscomb University where I'm studying Biochemistry and Music. At Lipscomb, I continued to develop my music education but in a different fashion. I studied bass under Rob Byus, Blake Shelton's bass player. I was selected to play for Lipscomb's jazz, and commercial ensembles as a bass player and chosen to be part of the Avalon quartet as a violist. Read More

I love to see kids progress in music and become excited about it!! My teaching style is very paced and hands on. If a student isn't getting something, I like to slow it down until they they do. I'm very complimentary and positive during lessons; this helps the student be confident. I also try to give the student a guideline on how to practice and how to pace themselves throughout this process. Read More
