Piano Lessons Cabarrus County, NC

Instruments: Piano

I love teaching students music. I have grown up around music my whole life. I grew up in Alabama and started taking piano lessons when I was 5 years old. I had amazing teachers and learned so much from them.  I am actively involved in not only my students music abilities but my own as well, I never stop learning!  Read More

To see students develop their musical abilities effectively also helps the teacher to continue to grow as an artist, so my goal is to promote that kind of partnership. The great thing about private lessons is that students find that they enjoy performances even more after having had the opportunity to learn in their own way, at their own pace. Setting simple goals for my students creates a supportive structure that allows them to learn new concepts in each session while further synthesizing ones already explored. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Keyboard

I believe that blending technique and theory with involvement in music and repertoire enhances the learning experience and makes it far, FAR less boring (not to mention more practical)! So I strive to teach these subjects while the student travels through repertoire, with "getting their fingers into the keys as quickly as possible" being the primary goal. After all, that's what we're here for, not paperwork! I try to focus on an emotional blend of trust, relaxation and fun while working to let the keyboard do what the student wants it to do, which is the entire point of proper technique! Read More

I started teaching piano at age 16 after being certified by my own instructor. I had one student I saw weekly and though at first she was against the piano, I worked with her intensely on genres and styles that she enjoyed playing. I also substituted for my piano instructor when she was sick and taught a plethora of children. When I volunteered at the local elementary school, I taught grade schoolers piano on the upright in the auditorium and that's when I fell in love with inspiring future musicians. Read More

As a musician, I have performed several self-financed and self-planned tours through the South, Northeast, and over the East Coast. I have performed over fifty concerts in 11 states, including North Carolina, Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Maine, Mississippi, Georgia, and California. Notable artists I have shared concert bills with have included Kayla Nettles, who later became a contestant on "American Idol," and Eli James, who has since become the touring drummer for Julien-K.
