Piano Lessons Butler County, KS

Instruments: Piano, Voice

I love to see my students evolve their ability as musicians.  In my lessons, I will let the student pick the piece that they want to play, and we will work to perfect the piece that the student chooses.  I don't believe in holding recitals in children under 10 unless the student wants to perform in a recital.  When I see a child learn, it gives me great pleasure.

I believe that an understanding of music theory and learning to read music is the foundation of success for both my piano and voice students which is why I typically require my voice students to be taking piano simultaneously with voice. For beginning piano students, I will typically begin with the James Bastien Primer/Level 1 Series with the focus split equally between theory and technique. I require students to fill out a practice log monthly to ensure that they are maintaining the knowledge and skills they learn in lessons and so that parents can be involved in their progress.

I've been singing and banging and strumming on things since I was 3 years old. I have played and sung all over the world and the U.S., in Cathedrals, Symphony Halls, arenas, ampitheatres, bars, and back lawns, and studios, making just about every type of music I can think of. I've worked with Grammy winner Seal, I've played for Pres.Clinton, and the president of Angola. I got to perform on Leno, Letterman, Kimmel, and others. Read More

The one aspect of teaching I love the most is seeing other students develop a passion for it. Every students learns at their own pace, but this doesn't come without hard work. I encourage my students to work towards something, setting goals and gaining rewards when those goals are met. At the first lesson my students will tell me what they want to do with their music. From this information I can cater my teaching style to the needs of the student. Read More

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music with all. In 2010, I graduated from Wichita State University with a Bachelor of Music Education degree with a Vocal emphasis. Performing has always been one of my passions, and as an undergraduate, I had the opportunity to perform in six operas and one musical. I have toured out of the country to Italy and Greece, and in the country to New York City at various venues. Read More
