Music Lessons Union County, NC

Instruments: Voice, Music

For beginning students, I typically start with teaching basic healthy singing techniques, such as vocalizing and healthy posture while singing. This includes instruction of vocal and breathing mechanics. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce repertoire selection guidance, performance coaching, and song interpretation and stylistic traits of a variety of genres. Outside of lessons I typically do ask that you practice a minimum of 5 times per week for 15-20 minutes using practice exercises that we learn in lessons so that you will continue to improve vocal technique.

Instruments: Trombone, Drums, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Music

  I believe that every student has the ability to learn music regardless of talent or background. During the first lesson I use specific techniques to understand student learning styles and levels of musicianship. From there, my lessons are specifically geared to meet the student at their current level. Your child will have lessons that will show growth, confidence, and fun.  My teaching career began in college. I taught trombone lessons and was an instructor for the Hampton University Band Camp.

I am a firm believer in appropriate fundamentals are the key to stronger and healthier playing skills. In my lessons, I will encourage many types of fundamentals to round-out students playing abilities at the level which is most appropriate at the time. I work by the "Not good, Not bad, But better" philosophy. I will always focus on what the student needs and the best way for me to streamline their learning to achieve their playing objectives.

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Drums, Bass Guitar, Harmonica, Ukulele, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar

I've been teaching guitar for about 15 years, voice for 10, drums and harmonica for 6 and classical guitar for the last 4. Over the years I've learned that the best way to approach teaching someone an instrument is to help them learn music that they love, as well as presenting concepts about what is happening in the music so that a bit of theory and the mechanics of how it all works gets mixed in with the enjoyment of learning just the technical aspects.
