Music Lessons in Nicholasville, KY

Instruments: Trumpet

My method of teaching trumpet for begginers and advanced students is to first make certain the embouchure is correctly formed, the breathing is correct and the instrumentis held correctly. I'll have the student play for me to detect any areas of concern and consequently I generate lesson plans accordingly. I will introduce drills, etudes and solo pieces at the given time of apparent progress in the areas of concern. I will make the learning experience fun and interesting, however I will requirethe students diligience in accomplishing the goals of trumpet performance which are expressive and beautiful performances.

The one thing I enjoy more than playing music is helping others learn and grow in their craft. I started playing guitar back in 2008 while I was living in Guam.

I spent years focused on growing as a guitar player and learning to push myself to continuously improve. During that time, I began to fall in love with percussion. Read More

My method of teaching is very detailed instruction. There are many books that tend to start with the assumption that you know something about music or that music is easy to just "pick up." I like to start from the students' most basic skill level and fill in all the gaps as they progress. This means that starting out might be a bit slow, but the learning curve for future lessons is shortened and students eventually end up further ahead than if they skipped around. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

We begin to work on the voice that way, and then graduate to vocal exercises from the Vaccai exercise book and simple vocal pieces such as folk songs or one of the 24 Italian Arias. As students advance, or if they come to me at an advanced stage already, we move on to more difficult art songs or arias from operas, or branch out into the student's desired repertoire if they do not wish to study classical voice specifically.
