BS, Olivet Nazarene University Music Education
I love to teach students in creative ways the concepts of music and how to perform on an instrument not only notes, but musicianship. I am a Music teacher / Pastor in the Franklin, TN area.
I have over 30 years of teaching experience. I began teaching Music right out of college, instrumental, vocal and general music classes. As a Pastor I still directed musicals and I taught drumers how to play drumset and required them to play for my ministry once they were good enough. I spent many years making my living at teaching instrumental music privately in schools around the area I was pastoring. Presently, I am teaching music classes along with piano lessons and instrumental music classes to many home school students.
I like Faber and Faber piano adventures because they teach a lot like I do. I've been developing a power point and You Tube presentation to go along with the book for those students who need more visual stimulus. I like various curruiculum's with Trumpet and Brass players. I stay around the Trumpet players Bible using an Arban's book with some Clark exercises along with the students band book to help them not to form bad habits.
I like to make music fun and lessons fun. I try to give students realistic goals weekly.
