ABOUT

Master Degree: Walden University
Overview:
I am an energetic lover of music. I love working with students and directing bands and choirs. I graduated from Hampton University in 2003 with Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano Performance and have been teaching students the wonder of piano even before I graduated. I perform as a accompanist for all types of music, sing at events, and am the Director of Music at Reynolds Chapel Baptist Church as well. I love gospel music, R&B, country, Pop, jazz and the like. I have an eclectic taste in music which I like to share with my students.
EXPERIENCE
I began teaching in 2001 and have taught private lessons on and off since then. I am now starting a new studio and am looking for students who want to learn the joy of piano. I was classically trained and tend to start with this method. This along with the students' musical interests, provides a pathway to learning theory, sight reading, and composing in a fun way. I am looking for students of all ages. Do you want to learn your favorite song? Do you want to continue lessons after taking a break? Sign on up!
METHODS USED
In the technical area I generally start with the Bastien or Alfred Series of Method Books. The student will lean to incorporate the technical and artistic to understand piano music especially can elicit different feelings. I take what the student is interested in music wise in order as a teaching tool. Also, I am incorporating in person and virtual lessons as we know the world has changed and we have found there are different ways to a great outcome. You can do all in-person lessons, all virtual lessons or a combination of both.
LESSON STYLE
My teaching methods includes: • Focus on building independent musicianship • Sequence of activities moving from simple to complex • Inclusion of movement as part of the teaching process • Sound before symbol • Instruments used as an extra tool for learning • Rhythm Syllables • Authentic music from different cultures is important • Folk dancing/structured movement • Building positive musical experiences • Fostering personal expression Each week the student and I will set attainable goals to progress at their own pace. Teaching piano is my gift that I continually want to share my community.

RATING & REVIEW
Noah Elliott
I am a complete beginner with regard to both music and the piano. Adrienne has been extremely helpful with learning the basics and is a great teacher. I feel that the lessons are often paced very well. Adrienne is focused during the lessons and is always attentive when we are going through the weekly lessons. She is also very easy to get along with, which makes the whole process much easier. Overall, it has been a great experience and she comes highly recommended.
