Music Lessons Birmingham County, AL

Instruments: Piano, Organ, Music, Keyboard

I have taught private one on one lessons to children ranging from first grade, to seniors in their 70's and 80's. I have tremendous patience, and an ability to make every lesson a positive learning experience, which will have the student running home to their instrument to practice, and share in my love of music. I have also taught general music in groups of 15-20 students from Kindergarten to 8th grade for three years, as well as another three years at the American School of El Salvador as band and combo professor.

For beginning students, I use the first Essential Element book to introduce the first instrument and theory concepts. Once students have progressed past this book, I use the Tune a Day series along with the accompanying scale book.

Once they have reached the third book and are progressing through etudes, students begin working on individual solo repertoire pieces. Read More

My philosophy on how I teach is similar to the technics I learned during my undergraduate studies. I believe in letting the students learn the best way they can and how ever they feel more comfortable learning.

Music is a art form as well as a true discipline thus I want to encourage consistency but most of all I want to stress artistry. Read More

For beginning students, I typically start with the basic essentials needed to get a feel for the instrument, and to read music. Then once they have that accomplished, we move straight on to learning their favorite songs as this is when the most progress can be gained. Once the student has grasped these fundamentals, We can move on to the more creative side of things by moving into Theory and Songwriting. Read More
