Music Lessons in Middleburg, FL

Instruments: Trumpet

I've tutored a few freshman when I was a senior in high school, and I can say that I have a good understanding of what a trumpet player (or a wind instrument in general), should be practicing just based on my experience and the teacher's I've had. My goal is to emulate the teaching's I've been taught to another person. I've always been someone who likes teaching, and I've been told that I explain things well. Read More

Instruments: Flute

I will typically alter my lesson plans according to each student's needs and goals. I love using method books and even beginning band books. For true beginners, it is so important to develop a strong foundation for breathing, posture, embouchure, and finger position. For example, to help practice deep breathing, I have my students lay down on the ground with a book on their stomach. Then, I will ask them to breath while trying to move the book up and down.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My curriculum varies depending on what instrument and style the student is learning. For orchestral string instruments I use the Suzuki method books but also others. The Simandl book for bassist is an amazing resource as well. Modern Reading Text by Louis Bellson is a great book for improving not only your rhythm reading ability but also sight reading. For guitar it really depends on what the student wants to focus on. Read More

Instruments: Violin Music

Hi there! I can't remember a time when I wasn't involved with music in some way. I started in the Suzuki program in 2001, so playing the violin is like a second language for me. I have enjoyed both being a student and a teacher and I am ready to create a diverse studio of all levels, ages, and backgrounds. Being inclusive is something I pride myself on and it is the way in which today's music world is headed. Read More

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Music

Since High School (2005) I began to teach music in my own studio in Puerto Rico, working with kids and adults. My main goal is to create a collaborative work plan. I will never impose a single method in all the students, because we all have different aspirations and different priorities. I will help you as a student to accomplish any goals you can have and I will do whatever it takes to keep you motivated. Read More

Instruments: Piano

For younger children, my methods involve using the Alfred series as the staple of the course, but I also incorporate games and some other things into the lesson to make it fun. For intermediate and Advanced students, it is a completely customized lesson plan to the individual so I can't really say what direction we take before I have had the chance to sit down and analyze their individual needs.
