Music Lessons in Trafalgar, IN

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute

As an adult, I have taken pedagogy with the head of the pedagogy department at Olivet Nazarene University, Piano from Dr. Karen Ball, flute from Gary Schocker, and voice lessons from members of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. Always looking to improve myself through individual study, I also get excited when I learn things from my students. Music is such an exciting field to be involved in and my teaching studio reflects that - I teach many different styles, curriculums, and provide many opportunities for sharing our music outside the studio.

Instruments: Saxophone

I am a dedicated saxophone teacher in the Indy area that is always looking for new students. I grew up in the greenfield area and went to New Palestine High School where I was inspired by my band director to pursue the world of music. My goal with any student is to see them succeed like I did in the world of saxophone. I am always about creating opportunities for students to grow as a player. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

Experience has led me to instead encourage my students to listen to recordings of themselves and others after they finish learning their music, so they have a chance to develop their own ideas of the piece first. In New Zealand I learned to play on Hamburg Steinways, instruments that need care to make a full, round sound when playing loud. This helped me to form and teach a technique grounded in efficient use of arm weight versus muscle. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe

I began teaching back in my sophomore year of high school when one of my friends wanted to learn how to play the piano. I gave them half hour lessons once a week and tailored my teaching to fit what techniques they wanted to learn. After that, I began branching out and teaching other friends, and eventually found myself helping out the middle school bands during my study hall. Now that I am in college, my own playing has improved and I have found new ways to connect and teach students whether that be in person, or by using technology such as skype. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Synthesizer Lap Steel Guitar

I am new as a teacher, but am up for the challenge and opportunity to work with and inspire students to find their own self-expression as well as learn practical skills to help them reach their musical goals. Consistent practice is a key point, but more importantly pairing technical skills with music a student enjoys playing helps ensure a desire to keep learning and progressing. I'm looking to help students of all ages learn how to engage with and express their creative selves in a way that motivates each person to explore their instrument further. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

My teaching style is adhered to the student themselves. I don't want anybody to feel like they need to copy someone else's singing style! I want to help students grow into their own unique voices, using a variety of diction techniques, as well as call and repeat types of exercises. IN terms of teaching piano, I have taught piano to beginners before! I start by teaching them the names of the keys, a bit of music theory, and then going from there! Read More

Instruments: Viola

My playing experience dates back over ten years while my teaching experience dates back four years. I have had the opportunity to travel to Europe and South America to perform with symphony orchestras. I spent my college days making extra spending cash playing in weddings and small events. I also began my teaching experience tutoring children in viola and violin at the nearby schools. Since college I have tutored over 50 students in viola and violin. Read More
