Voice Lessons Memphis County, TN

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Organ, Keyboard

I have been teaching Music 1922 at Northeast Community College in organ and piano since Fall Semester 2016. I enjoy beginners as there are no bad habits to break! I have coached singers who have gone on to Peabody, Choral conducting degrees and professional engagements on cruise ships and Broadway (Manoel Felciano who was a choir member for four years while a Yale undergrad). I emohasize sharing goals with parents: in the past 48 hours I said to my new neighbors whose children study piano, that even if they switch later to another instrument, a good foundation in reading treble and bass cleff and reading notation will be in place.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin, Fiddle

For beginners, I typically start students off with the suzuki books to build technique, but I teach them from the classical perspective rather than the suzuki method. With intermediate and advanced students, i will introduce solo repertoire appropriate for recital performance and/or a commercial piece (fiddle tunes, pop songs, etc) that the student is interested in learning. Fiddle is my specialty, but I also teach classical violin and even my fiddle students will learn classical technique. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I love to see my students have the same love for music that I have. It's even more rewarding if I put that love for music in them. I like to set goals for my students from the first day of the lesson. And, by the end of the lesson, my goal is for my students to achieve the goals that we have set. I acknowledge ALL accomplishments regularly. Even if it is a small one because I believe all accomplishments should be acknowledge and appreciated. Read More

I can teach anyone, and I make the lessons fun. I go at your pace. I'm very patient and engaging. I've been doing this a long time, I love it, and I love seeing my students' excitement when the light bulb clicks on! My patient style suits most students, especially young beginners and adults. When I do have a student that shows exceptional promise, I recognize this and push them harder to realize their potential. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music and be successful! I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. I try and be an encouraging teacher while also providing constructive criticism so my studnet always feel like theyre growing in a safe environment. Read More
