Music Lessons in University City, NC

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

My teaching experience has taught me that every student is different, and require different approaches. I have been teaching since the year 2000, where I have encouraged each student to practice. I also understand that learning piano can get repetitive therefore, my technique is to start with theory, and then to add playing by ear as well as reading the notes. I have learned that this method helps the student not to get burned out. Read More

Ive had the opportunity to learn Classical piano from some excellent teachers who themselves performed with top symphonies. Read More

It be as motivated to come back.... So my method is to teach them while at the same time giving a practical aspect where they have something that can show and practice to develop the skill learned in the proviso session. Read More

Instruments: Drums

For my beginner students, I start by introducing them to the drum kit, providing a bit of history, and understanding their personal goals for learning drums. We focus on fundamentals, including drum notation, and by the end of the first lesson, most students can play a basic groove and fillgiving them the tools to start learning their favorite songs. Once the fundamentals are in place, we move on to learning songs and exploring different techniques, guided by the student's individual goals. Read More

My number one goal is to help develop a lifelong passion for music in students of all ages!
