Music Lessons in Wheatland, OK

Instruments: Piano Cello

I base my teaching out of the Schroeder Violoncello Methods for all ages along with the Schroeder 170 cello studes. Along with that I pick pieces that the student will find enjoyable as a means to keep them encouraged. Usually I introduce traditional classical repertoire at the beginning of their second year as the student is usually more comfortable with the instrument at that point. Read More

Everyone starts differently and everyone learns differently. I think that the material covered in lessons should be dependent on what the student knows and what the student is interested in. Even though theory can be complicated and at times tedious I think the most important goal is to be able to enjoy both learning and playing your instrument. Weekly goals will be set for students to ensure they study the lesson subjects. Read More

The songs that each student will sing will depend on what style he/she may be interested in performing or studying. I always choose age appropriate material, and a piece that the student will enjoy.

My students are encouraged to compete with and offer recitals of the music we study, whether it be standard repertoire or an original work. Read More
