Voice Lessons Jefferson County, AL

Instruments: Voice, Trumpet, Drums, Music, Keyboard

My approach to teaching is something that I take very serious. I believe in being the best not being number #1. I love music and want to work with musicians who want to get better and take their music endeavors to the next level. One of my teachers at Jackson State University told us that as a musician you are supposed to get better as the years go by and as you get older you become even stronger if it’s vocals or instrumentals.

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar

I started teaching guitar in 1975 as I was already a performer who could read music, sing, and play by ear, which is invaluable as a band member. As a guitarist/singer I performed solo as well as playing bass in a soul band, then a country-rock band and eventually performing and recording four albums with an original band. We had radio play on local/regional stations and I received royalties as a BMI songwriter. Read More

When teaching beginners (especially kids/teens), I think back to how I learned the alto sax. So in terms of teaching saxophone, I teach from Bruce Pearson's Standard Of Excellence Volume 1! When giving a lesson, I start out by asking basic questions about what drives the student to succeed. I make a plan of action for them to achieve the goals! First starting on rudiments, then progressing to full length songs! Read More

Instruments: Voice, Cello, Trumpet, Flute, Clarinet, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

I have been involved in music my entire life, starting in a percussion group and choir in elementary school. I started on the clarinet at the beginning of middle school. I taught myself how to play the clarinet amongst the other instruments I play with the help and guidance of college professors, band directors, and tricks I noticed along the way. I have been selected and performed in multiple honor bands across my time in middle and high school, including Troy University's honor band and All State. Read More
