Music Lessons in Orchard Beach, MD

Instruments: Flute Clarinet Ukulele Recorder Music

I use a variety of clarinet method books based on my current professional library. I also order based on student need. Method books are selected based on the students ability. Lesson plans are developed based on the students abilities, progress, and expressed goals. After each lesson, I email out to the student and their guardian, a run-down of what was covered with next weeks agenda and what the student should practice. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back to my high school time. I was the top student in theory class. So when my theory teacher is not able to come to the class, I helped with the class content. Therefore I value theory very much, I teach theory knowledge with piano skills together. I am a extremely patient person and I teach students depending on their own personalities. I am very communicative, I especially talk to parents and kids so I can know what why I should choose to teach. Read More

Instruments: Double Bass

Having played professionally since the age of 18, I bring a solid professional ethic, traditional technique and boundless enthusiasm to both playing and teaching Double Bass. Having traveled extensively and toured with The Smothers Brothers and Phylis Diller, I can provide insight into the practical aspects of performance and practice routines. Although I encourage the mastery of traditional Double Bass technique with the bow, I love to encourage and assist students in a variety of styles and idioms, including Orchestral Bass, Jazz, Country and Bluegrass.

Instruments: Guitar Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

While studying at the Mozarteum Conservatory, I provided private lessons for middle and high school students. During my time of classical guitar studies, I performed in various recitals including a concert for the Govenor of Estados Amazonas in Venezuela in 1996. These experiences have helped me grow as a confident musician. I am very grateful to my maestros for teaching me proper pedagogy, guitar technique but also encouraging all styles of music for guitar.

Instruments: Piano

I firmly believe a solid foundation is the key to success. And that is why, I have spent the past 15 years (and counting) developing and hand-crafting a SIMPLE, EASY-TO-FOLLOW, STEP-BY-STEP approach to learning piano, designed to get students playing songs on their own, often times within a matter of a few short months. The process can sometimes be a bit slower in the beginning, but often leads to more long term, ongoing success. Read More

Instruments: Violin

For beginner students who are children, I usually start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has grasped the fundamentals, I will introduce solo repertoire suited for his or her first recital performance. I introduce etudes to the students after the student demonstrates the ability to play several simple pieces well. For intermediate and advanced students, I typically do not let them play a piece at a certain grade level until they have finished playing one piece one grade level below that. Read More
