Flute Lessons Davidson County, TN

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Keyboard

For piano students I highly recommend the Alfreds books for beginners. After you have some background we can work with the music of your choice, classical, jazz, pop, RnB etc. Some of my specialties include teaching people how to turn chord charts into music, how to improvise and how to use music theory to improve your understanding of music. For guitar I do not use any books as I find most guitar method books to be very old fashioned and not inviting to the student. Read More

I approach teaching according to each students learning style. I want to be able to reach all of my students by understanding how they learn and how it help them to improve on each lesson. Setting goals help students reach their purpose and dreams. I believe private lesson is a good option for various students because it gives the students to learn at his or her own pace. As I teach, I want to enhance their creativity, innovation and originality in learning and playing their instruments. Read More

I make it a point to individualize my lesson plans for each student and cater to their unique needs. As a general starting place, however, I typically start with Trevor Wye's Beginner's Book for the Flute: Part 1 for my novice students. Additionally, I introduce the 12 major scales and arpeggios- which we continue to study and build on throughout our lessons. As the student progresses and has a firm grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their level of playing. Read More

The first priority for me is to dully understand what each student and parent wants from the desire for private instruction. My teaching methods are tailored to each student's indidvidual needs and expectaions for the duration of lessons. I don't have a specific method book set, for I use multiple sources thoughout the teaching experience. Most of my students are middle and high school students. In that case, I work with them on whatever they may be playing in their respective school band programs. Read More

For my beginning students who are children on piano, I typically start with Alfred's Basic piano books. There are so many levels and it helps them understand the basics. With the piano books there are also theory workbooks that give them a chance to think about what they are actually doing when it comes to making music. With the older students on piano, I stick with Alfred's Piano books for adults. Read More
