Piano Lessons Grady County, OK

Instruments: Piano, Flute, Clarinet

I have over twenty years of private lesson experience. I began teaching private lessons to flute students in Ponca City High School while I was a student at Oklahoma State University. I have taught privately for over twenty years with experience teaching flute, piano, clarinet, and saxophone. While I was in Minnesota, I began teaching private piano lessons in people's home in a program similar to Musika. I then moved to New York where I taught lessons at DeSantis School of music and then had a private studio for the ten years I lived there. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice

My teaching style specifically fits each individual students needs. Every student has different challenges that they face during their musical education. I also know that each student works at his or her own pace. I like to give praise and rewards to my students that work hard to accomplish a goal to help instill confidence and desire to continue along their creative journey. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Synthesizer, Music, Keyboard

I love to walk through how notes, and scales are layered to make chords and training them on how to recognize these. These chords and notes together are then layered to make songs and pieces.

I want students to be able to look at a difficult piece of music for not just "complex or hard", but lots of little simple pieces that fit really well together. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My biggest method I will focus on is learning music by ear and applying that to the other various aspects of music, like reading and writing.

I aim to teach listening methods, as well as reading, writing, and techniques methods on the desired instrument. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola, Electric Violin, Fiddle, Keyboard

I began teaching private lessons to young children when I was 15 under the direction of my parents, who are both violinists and public school teachers. In college, I began teaching both children and adults full time, and since graduating I have continued teaching as my full-time job. While I am classically trained, I love rock, pop, and fiddle tunes too, and I encourage my students to try out multiple genres and to find what motivates them. Read More
