Instruments:
I begin with finding out what musical background the students has, what they hope to achieve through lessons, and how much effort they are willing to put into their lessons. Then I develop a specific plan for that student to work towards their goals.
Instruments:
My experience as an instructor is relatively recent considering I just graduated from college. For the past few years as an undergraduate, I taught private lessons from home. I am eager about encouraging regular practice to gain more ability and achieve greater passion for the guitar. Performing concerts and composing songs is recommended to help students become the musician they want to be. I am always searching to instruct new students of all ages!
Instruments:
For classical guitar students, I've found the best methods to building a good foundation as well as technique is both the Christopher Parkening and Frederick Noad methods. The student also gets a great selection of repertoire to go along with the basics of technique in each. For all other styles of playing, I've found that the Berklee Guitar Methods work well in building the fundamentals in a students playing in the beginning stages. I also like to get an idea of what music style/artists a student is interested in so that I can work that into the lessons as well. This way, I get what I feel they should know and they find out what they want to learn out of each lesson.
Instruments:
I am a graduate from the University of Pittsburgh with a BA in Music, and I plan to use my experience and passion for the art to help students reach their performance goals. I've been playing guitar for ten years, and the mandolin & ukulele for five. Over the years, I have performed in large events like the One Young World Summit with the University of Pittsburgh Carpathian Ensemble, and the Passion of Gamelan and Pop Sunda Concert. I've also played smaller, more intimate concerts at venues like Mr. Small's Theater and the Warhol Museum with my own pop-rock band, The Suburban Sellouts. In 2012, I had the incredible opportunity to study Romani music abroad in Central Europe through the Romani Music, Culture, & Human Rights study abroad program, and in 2013 I trained in Balkan music at the East European Folklife Center (EEFC) Balkan Music & Dance Workshop. From punk to musicals and everything in between, I love music and I will work with students to master any style that interests them.
Instruments:
My experience teaching has varied from beginners to intermediate to advanced on a part-time level over the past 20 years or so. My current schedule now allows me much more time to share the teaching skills I have accumulated over these years. A good portion of my teaching experience includes live performance, music direction, and music business management. I offer my experiences in these fields along with my music instruction experience. Let's enjoy the learning experience together and grow to love music- guitar - and the joy it can bring to ourselves and other people!!!!!
