Bass Lessons in Mitchellville, TN

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar

I have been teaching students off and on since 2007. Regular practice has always been encouraged to my students, but I encourage even more to find the love in learning and playing music. Regardless of age or skill level, my students are all equal to me. As a beginner, learning a new intstrument can be tedious, but that is the pathway of finding the love in the instrument. No matter if my students want to be versatile like myself, use the intrument to accompany themselves, or pursue music as a living or hobby, I will encourage them to share what they have learned to their families and to the public.

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, a songwriter, a producer, a performer, and a lifelong student.

My life has been enriched by great teachers, and I hope to pass that gift on to others looking to further enjoy making music. Read More

Typically, I begin with regimented learning. For guitar students, I use Hal Leonards Guitar Method 1. For voice students, I teach basic breathing exercises and fun, sustainable and memorable warm-ups. From there, I begin to prep them for their first solo performances. I offer studio-wide performance opportunities for new and experienced students to show off their skills! As they progress, I teach to their interests and needs. Some students may be in high school prepping for Solo and Ensemble, or All-State Chorus auditions, or even college auditions. Read More

I'm originally from Iowa where I grew up on a farm, eventually starting trombone in 3rd grade when my cousin gave me his old horn.

Playing trombone has given me many wonderful opportunities in my life such as performing with the Boston Brass and Dallas Brass, performing in Europe three separate times, playing in the Southeast Trombone Symposium, and playing in many other bands, orchestras, and festivals.
