Instruments: Drums

I am an extremely passionate musician. I specialize in the drums. I have been playing drums since 1995 and performing on a professional level since 2003. Rock music is my forte, however, I can pretty much play and teach any modern style. I've had international success with my band "Blues". Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Oboe Music

I love making music and helping students to be confident making music. I know that life can get busy and students won't always be able to practice every day, so I set realistic goals for them and emphasize that even just a little bit of (focused) practice is much better than no practice at all. The most important thing is that students feel like they are making progress and are enjoying the process, rather than checking off a box of drudgery every day just to check it off. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I have taught piano and other instruments to my own children and those who were in our Home School group. I was an aide in public school at a one room school house in a small logging community where I gave lessons to any student that was interested for free. A Teacher in town kept me busy being supplied with students including her own. Moving to a larger city I taught at a Montessori School with 2 campuses, grades K-8. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I believe in teaching music theory as well as technic and expression, no matter how young the student is. I believe the piano is a wonderful springboard to learning and exploring other instruments.For piano the student will study out of the theory and lesson books. Other types of finger excersizes and supplemental music will be used, there is a ton of free music online!I may also use other aides to teach the student such as flashcards, musical games, note finders, andcomputer games and sites.For the guitar I typically use Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method but then Ialso use lots of music found online free.
