Music Lessons Grady County, OK

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

I love to watch my students become better versions of themselves through the medium of music. I never want my students to be satisfied with reaching a destination on their goal charts. I want my students to become so infatuated with the journey, that they will seek to continue to look for new experiences to explore. I create this environment by keeping lessons diverse and dynamic. I make each student compile a list of goals for themselves, 3 big goals, 5 goals the lead to each of the 3 big goals, 10 goals to lead to each of the 5 goals, and finally, daily goals that will help us accomplish the 10 goals.

Instruments: Voice, Music

I began officially teaching music in 2015 with the Salvation Army here in Memphis, Tennessee. I've taught beginner violin and piano lessons with the Salvation Army, and I have a few private violin students of my own currently. As much as I love music, I love explaining concepts and giving my students confidence in their field of music, whether that is in voice, instrument, or writing. It is very important to be well equipped, but also confident in one's abilities and skills. Read More

I love sharing my hard won skills with all ages from school age to retired seniors. I am constantly searching for the best way to convey musical ideas and translate them into making players with the skills to enjoy what they are playing. We will not only learn how to play but why a piece of music works. Always with the goal of growing a player who is self sufficient with the skills to read, write and arrange for their chosen instruments. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music

My teaching experience began in high school, as I began teaching children in a group setting. I worked at a children's educational summer camp where I instructed choirs and chorus singers for Musical Theater. During my time at OCU, I taught private voice lessons to students with diverse vocal goals. I have found that the best way to teach singing is to let your students sing! While discussing technique and concepts is important, it can never replace the experience of practicing with your voice. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Synthesizer, Music, Keyboard

After that we learn how being confident in these individual notes are the building blocks to learning things like scales, chords, and up to full complex scores. I like for students not to just understand about how to play their instrument, but to understand how this all fits together and WHY. If I am teaching a student on any instrument my job is to equip them with the necessary tools to eventually be able to make these connections and see how these consistent patterns fit together to make this amazing art we call music.
