Music Lessons in Acipco Finley, AL

Instruments: Voice Trumpet Drums Music Keyboard

My approach to teaching is something that I take very serious. I believe in being the best not being number #1. I love music and want to work with musicians who want to get better and take their music endeavors to the next level. One of my teachers at Jackson State University told us that as a musician you are supposed to get better as the years go by and as you get older you become even stronger if it’s vocals or instrumentals.

My teaching experience dates back to my High School years, as I began teaching private lessons part time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students throughout my life for the last 10 years. I encourage regular practice on a consistent schedule, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that getting my beginner students learning the songs they want to learn can go a long way in helping students enjoy the guitar and motivate them to practice and continue to learn.

Instruments: Piano

For all of my beginning students, I use the method book Piano Safari because it teaches them reading music, playing music by rote, and technique all in one.

For each lesson, I take the time to make a lesson plan. Read More
