Music Lessons Delaware County, PA

Instruments: Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Music

My approach to playing and teaching music is to never limit your options! Providing a well-rounded understanding of your instrument and its capacity to create art that you enjoy is first and foremost. When I began taking lessons, I put in time to learn technique, scales, arpeggios, but also had a teacher help me explore learning songs from recordings, aural transcriptions that transfer to your instrument. This not only helped me stay interested in music, but also broadened my taste in music, period! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music, Keyboard

My teaching style allows students to go at their own pace. I will work to set realistic goals with them at each lesson and acknowledge accomplishments as these goals are met. I encourage the students to have a notebook with them during lessons so that we can document assignments, goals, progress, and accomplishments. For younger students, I will usually have some kind of special reward for them when completing a goal/assignment. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I firmly believe that learning should be enjoyable, and to achieve that, I blend classical and modern music in my lessons. After all, if a student isnt having fun, Im not fulfilling my role as an instructor! My teaching philosophy extends beyond just playing notes. I actively encourage my students to participate in competitions and recitals, providing them with opportunities to showcase their skills and gain a sense of accomplishment. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin, Viola, Music, Keyboard

I started leading choirs as a teenager and have grown from there. I've taught theory and composition internationally (See a final project video on my profile), and taught violin and viola here in the States. I like to emphasize the importance of theory and composition throughout all lessons, as well as learning by play - music is an art of expression first and foremost. Anyone can learn to read music and play it aloud, but it is only those brave enough to relate it to themselves that truly become musicians. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Drums, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Conga, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

With my teaching style, I try to maintain open lines of communication as much as possible. This means learning about students, them learning about me, and feeling comfortable in communicating their roadblocks in music. Music is an expressive art form, and I believe that being able to effectively communicate with students will lead to a better instruction - students feel more comfortable performing and explaining issues, and teachers can cater to the learning styles of those students, which expedites the learning process and creativity.
