Piano Lessons in Sherwood Forest, GA

Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard

My teaching studio is equipped with two drums sets and practice pads to accommodate marching or drum set students.   I also have a full PA and two keyboards set up for piano students and accompanying purposes.  Each student is given an assignment for the week (or specified time) and will then pass off this lesson assignment (barrier) before receiving a new lesson.  Passing off not only includes demonstration of the lesson but also performing with me as I accompany them on the keyboards.

Instruments: Piano Guitar

Setting S.M.A.C. goals for my students is very important. These are specific, measurable, achievable and challenging. Nothing makes me feel more accomplished as when I help my student feel accomplished and reach their goals. I have a very non critical approach and encourage mistakes with a non judgemental attitude. I feel this lightens up the atmosphere and allows the student to grow at a much more rapid rate. Read More

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard

My teaching style is diverse and different. I have taught at many different levels to many different students. 1) music theory is vital 2) music history is vital 3) music appreciation is vital 4) students "want to" level is vital... Put all of those together and tou have a successful journey. Students who never are beginners are the most fun because we both grow together! I teach scales and notes first, then comes the fingering for the notes on the pages. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Ukulele Recorder Piccolo

Materials: Flute: Rubank Elementary/Intermediate/Advanced Method, published by Hal Leonard, along with relevant supplemental materials (solos, pieces from student's school band, duet books, etc.) Piano: Alfred Beginning Piano Series    Philosophy: I believe in a collaborative approach between teacher and student. My style is based mostly in questions I ask of the student, asking them what they're thinking, feeling, and experiencing as they play certain passages or exercises. I believe in metacognitively working through the experience at an age-approrpriate level to master complete understanding of the musical instrument and the music itself. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I have been teaching piano to students age 4 to 60 for five years.  I enjoy not only teaching the rules and techniques of piano performance; I also try to impart a love of music and to make students realize that it adds a wonderful dimension to their lives that carries over to many other areas. One of my Ga. Tech/Atlanta students connects with his grandmother in France via Skype and plays for her. Read More

- My teaching style is one of the many things that sets me a part from other teachers. I work to create a fundamental relationship with my students to find out what their goals are, what specific level they are at currently, and where they want to take their talents. Once I’ve discovered these essential things, I work with my student at their own pace of comfort and challenge to allow them to learn the things that interest them as well as continue to develop as a musician.
