Voice Lessons Roanoke County, VA

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Ukulele, Keyboard

My preferred piano method is Piano Adventures and I recommend using the Lesson, Theory, and Sight Reading books at each level. For guitar and voice I typically do not follow any specific method unless the student has a preference. For more advance piano students I typically will begin using Suzuki or move them to Burgmller Etudes and Schumann's Opus 68 - Album for the Young. I perform an assessment of new students in the areas of sight reading, music theory, rhythm, performance, and ear training. Read More

My teaching experience goes back to my college days, as I began teaching private adult lessons for my Studio class 5 years ago and have been teaching privately ever since. For the past year, however, I've been an elementary music teacher in Washington, D.C. I am certified to teach Pre-K-12th grades in public schools, although I usually coach adults privately. I now live in Richmond and gig around the area frequently at weddings, churches, and local venues/theatres. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Music

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I would like to teach every students beginners(easy lessons) to harder lessons. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Recorder, Keyboard

My favorite part of my position is seeing my students develop and progress in their passion for music! It is critical that each student practices at his or her own pace. I set realistic goals for each lesson in order to make it fun and engaging. I acknowledge their accomplishments to fuel a student's desire for progress and eagerness to learn more. By learning more about my students' interests, I can tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
