I am passionate about music and I play at least 7 instruments. I love alot of international music styles as well as American styles (soft rock, rock, hard rock, progressive metal, hip hop reggae, etc.). My music degree is from Auburn University Montgomery and I have done live performances within a band, ensemble, and on my own. I have had the opportunity to play with different musicians with various styles and I have added their techniques to my teaching when it comes to my students. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Organ, Music, Keyboard

As this progresses, I place a great deal of emphasis on understanding the keyboard, to be able to play like second nature, with and without sheet music. I believe that a well rounded music instructor will bring out the musician inside all of us, in my 8 years of teching, I have come across two students that genuinely lacked pitch, and or basic rhythm skills. From several hundred students, that means that pretty much everyone can learn to play an instrument, and be able to find a love for music that will last a lifetime. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Cello, Trumpet, Flute, Clarinet, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

For beginning students who have never touched music in their lives (mostly children), I start out with the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements book of their chosen instrument. From there, we learn how to read music, play in time, and play the instrument itself. Once the student feels comfortable with the practices in the book, I move on to introduce solo repertoire to prepare for a recital. Of course, if they are in their school band, we will focus on perfecting their given band music. Read More

Instruments: Flute, Ukulele, Piccolo, Music

The most important first step is to have a conversation about what the student's goals are. Together we can come up with a game plan to achieve these goals! For beginning students, we will start by working through a beginner's method book, but I will supplement with my own materials. My first priority is to get the student playing music that they enjoy as early as possible! I will come prepared to every lesson with an individualized lesson plan, assignments, music that are tailored to each student's goals! Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience dates back to my High School years, as I began teaching private lessons part time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students throughout my life for the last 10 years. I encourage regular practice on a consistent schedule, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that getting my beginner students learning the songs they want to learn can go a long way in helping students enjoy the guitar and motivate them to practice and continue to learn.
