Piano Lessons Tennessee

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion

The method used for teaching a student how to enjoy music should be practical, intuitive, and natural. I begin by training a student how to listen (in the same way that a child would hear words before he could speak). From that point, a student learns to "speak" or play musical sentences. Finally, the reading skills are developed. Through this approach, musical literacy is founded and then the art of mastering the instrument begins by developing sensitivity and fine musicianship.

I'm a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher who loves working with young musicians and helping them to express themselves through songs. I graduated with honors from Berklee College of Music in Boston with a degree in Songwriting. I have performed in festivals and clubs all over the country, written music for films, and lead a working band. A passion in my life is inspiring children and teenagers discover their own passion for music, and give them the tools to thrive. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice

Because I was working on my Masters in Collaborative Piano, I have only recently had the opportunity to teach more students. I am a firm believer of meeting every student where they are and not trying to push my own agenda or vision. Each student has unique goals and dreams. It is my job to help them achieve those goals while nurturing a joy and permanent love for music. In order to see progression and produce passion for their instrument, I emphasize a consistent practice schedule. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Recorder, Keyboard

I encourage students a lot and make the lessons fun for them, for younger students, they play nursery rhymes that they know how to sing, so it keeps them motivated, for teenagers, they are more interested in pop music, so we sometimes work on the pop songs they want to play. For beginning students who are children from age 5 to 8, I include games to help them learn to play. Once they are more advanced, they will start playing popular nursery rhymes, repertoires for performances, theory, and techniques. Read More
