Instruments: Guitar, Trumpet, Trombone, Flute, Clarinet, Tuba

I am excited to teach music, especially instruments in the brass category! I am graduating from Pensacola Christian College with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies and my two areas of focus are Music Performance and Education. While in college I performed in symphonic band, chamber concert, and a senior performance recital. I am a small business owner and I am teaching lessons on the side to train young musicians for the future. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba

I am a patient teacher who enjoys working with students of all ages. I played tuba, euphonium, and bass trombone in every ensemble in college and spent time on as the principal player in the top ensemble on multiple instruments. I obtained my Master’s degree in 2016 and immediately began teaching elementary school music. I love working with small children because it allows me to focus on teaching fundamentals of music and I get to reach more students because I teach 800 kids a week. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Trumpet, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

My teaching experience includes serving as a middle school band director, high school band director, middle school choir director, high school choir director, elementary school general music and choir teacher, and elementary school clarinet teacher. The youngest student I've ever taught was six years old, and I'm happy to work with children, adolescents, and adults. During undergrad in college, I also worked the music theory tutoring lab giving theory lessons to college students, so if a high school student is studying music theory, I would be able to assist with that as well.

Instruments: Trumpet

Beginning trumpet students will use the Sound Innovations band method. I always supplement with my own recommended exercises and routines and also get solos for performances. As the student progresses, I will use other great trumpet methods such as Clarke and Arban's. We will always work on a solo as well. I will often assign a song for listening at home. Listening to great trumpet playing and music in general will help the student achieve a great sound himself and develop his / her musicality. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Saxophone, Drums, Orchestral Percussion, Latin Percussion, Music, Djembe

I create my own lesson plans (and some materials) specific to each student. Some standard books I use are Alfred's Drum Method book 1, The New Breed, Portraits in Rhythm, The Drummer's Complete Vocabulary to name a few. The books are necessary for developing music literacy, however I remind students that the pages don't make sound!!! Developing a discerning ear is paramount in my approach. Therefore we do a lot of listening and I engage students in dialogue for them to develop a personalized mental image of what they are trying to play. Read More
