Music Lessons Washington

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Drums, Conga, Latin Percussion, Music, Keyboard

My lessons are designed to fit each student's level and area of interest. For example, if a student wants to learn how to play blues piano, I'll assign him exercises to compliment learning that idiom, i.e. scales, chords and rhythm patterns. people learn best when they are interested in at that moment. I use the same philosophy teaching drums and trumpet. Specific methods are tailored to the student's current ability and age. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music, Keyboard

I truly believe in the special power that music possess to reach deep inside and touch the heart, to initiate or intensify desire, inspire creativity and to be a source of joy and fun. Though I enjoy teaching and playing all types of music, I find myself most at home on the bandstand playing and/or singing Jazz. That's just what I like. It's totally OK for you to be into something totally different. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Music

My mission statement is To teach with encouragement, humor, patience, and simple terminology, using applied science and body-awareness, all with the goal of vocal expressiveness. I always create a safe, supportive environment where my students can learn to express themselves through singing effectively. I use the McClosky Technique that employs applied science to help my students to sing with complete relaxation and freedom applied to any style of singing. My philosophy of teaching is based on the fact that working on voice technique is really an athletic process, and follows these principles: o A good voice teacher will let your true voice reveal itself, then follow it wherever it goes with encouragement and well-informed instruction. o A good voice teacher wont jump to conclusions about your voice but listen to how you describe your own experience and take it from there. o A good voice teacher will engage in deep listening with the goal of achieving complete relaxation when singing and speaking. o A good voice teacher will help you learn how to feel your body guiding you.
