Music Lessons in St Bernard, OH

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Music Acoustic Guitar

I like to find songs that students really care about, because then they will be more interested in learning them. My teaching style is very flexible in that all students are different, and learn in different ways. Ive taught really young kids and Ive also taught seniors. I find it fun meeting new challenges and seeing what new musical abilities I am capable of. I teach music theory, piano, drums, guitar, bass, and voice. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet French Horn

This calling demands love and imagination, where the teacher and the student are invited on an adventure where we both strive to leave each lesson asking ourselves how the next might be better and how to better engage ourselves in our unique goals. It is my mission to teach your child the language of music. It is my goal to teach with this single purpose: my students will be able to give voice to that which they cannot and for which they have no words. Read More

Instruments: Voice

Mistakes are how every singer improves! With older students, I want to help students learn to recognize their own mistakes and areas they can improve on. I will always be ready to help them on trouble areas or encourage them when they get it right, but I want them to learn how to recognize it on their own so they can develop outside of a lesson! This comes from having them identify: where something didn't go as planned, why didn't it, and what can they do to improve it the next time. Read More

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

For beginning students, I typically start with the Rubank Elementary Method Flute Book by A. C. Peterson. Once the student has progressed and has managed to grasp fundamentals, we can proceed to the next volumes within the same series. For adults, I typically do my best to see what they are interested, and will guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons intriguing. I will typically assign an etude per week to my more advanced students. Read More

Originally born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, I have had the incredible privilege of learn from some of the best cellists and cello teachers in the world. I started playing the cello when at the age of 8 in the 4th grade, and immediately fell in love with it. For the past 15 years I have been a student of the cello and it is my life's goal to continue to master the cello and to teach it to others. Read More
