Music Lessons South

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music

Many times I will begin a lesson with a question such as "What is your favorite song at this time?" Then we will play that song to get the student in the mood (especially if he or she is a little tired after school). My goal for each student is to initially cover their assignments while keeping space open for new questions and conversation for future songs the student is interested in pursuing. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Saxophone, Harmonica, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I begin with the fundamentals of music theory that you will need to begin playing your instrument, and then I like to get straight into learning songs as quickly as possible. The student may choose what songs to learn (recommended) or I can make suggestions. You will learn a range of skills including tuning, instrument care, song struture, chords, soloing, and MUCH MORE. My goal is for you not just to learn to play certain notes or chords, but also understand why that note or chord fits where it does. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Cello, Music

I began teaching private voice when I was in college and also started to teach beginning piano and cello as I played piano for 10 years prior. I have always loved teaching as it is a chance for me to help students find their true voice through honing skills and proper technique allowing them to have healthy and lengthy careers in the industry if they so choose. I always meet you where you are, so if you are just beginning singing then we start with the basics to make sure you have a good core to start with, if you are more advanced I like to learn what you know so far so nothing seems repetitive for you and I then incorporate techniques that will help you move to the next level.

Instruments: Piano, Music, Keyboard

I believe in creating a custom lesson plan for my students. This is important for any age! Students (young and old) need to have something to work towards. I enjoy allowing student to pick what types of music they want to learn how to play and incorporating that music into their lesson plans. I will typically use a whiteboard to teach student how to read music and make the lesson interactive, and adjust the lesson to fit the learning level they are at. Read More
