Music Lessons Broward County, FL

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music, Keyboard

As I previously mentioned, I try my best to keep lessons as fun and engaging as possible, because I feel that creative enjoyment is a very important motivator in this field. That being said, I do encourage and appreciate a consistent practice schedule so that my students may advance at an appropriate pace. I also believe that acknowledging when a student has succeeded and lauding them appropriately for their hard work is a very valuable facet in creating intrinsic motivation. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Ukulele, Music, Acoustic Guitar

I try to create a relaxed, fun, trustworthy and focused, environment for the student. I like to ask them what’s interesting and appealing to them, then we start the lesson. When I teach at my studio and children come directly from school I give them a snack if they haven’t had any. Children cannot concentrate if they are hungry. We play musical games for the younger ones, so they can internalize either the beats or the values of the notation. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba, Music, Keyboard

In my opinion, my goal for the student is to be motivated, and stay motivated to try to also work at their instrument outside their lessons on their own. I would not want to cram information down their throats, but I also would not want to spend too much time on tasks that would get the student or myself carried away. The process of slowing things down and working them in chunks is, in my opinion, very efficient because the retention sets in really well and it also helps the student get in the habit of how to practice properly, and this goes for any level of student.

My method of teaching can vary from student to student, but my primary way of teaching is what I like to call, sound before symbol. Learning music is like learning a language. We do not come out of the womb and handed a dictionary. Instead, we listen, imitate, speak, and then learn how to read and write. If I have students try to learn how to read music, while focusing on technique and all the other aspects of music, they become very overwhelmed and frustrated. Read More
