Music Lessons in Airport Highlands, AL

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. There is a child version and an older beginner version. For students who are not beginners, I find them solo pieces that are suitable for them that they enjoy so that their playing will progress. For each lesson, I take the time to make a lesson plan. Read More

For younger students who are children, I usually start with Faber Piano Adventures. Once the student has worked in fundamentals and get a better understanding of the instrument, I will begin introducing solo repertoire appropriate for his or her level. I also like to working on scales and sight reading with my students, I spend some time at the beginning of the lesson helping them get a solid grasp on these two elements. Read More

I have been working out of my record studio since 2013 but I have been recording since 2004. I have also served as the assistant band director at midfield high. Giving rudimentary lessons to the drummers and working on the theory and range with the upper brass was one of the many jobs that I was assigned to as assistant director. I have worked with middle school high school colleges and clients who just wanted to record or get better. Read More

I prefer to focus on the joy of making music and the satisfaction of learning through accomplishment! In order to achieve this, I will try my best to keep lessons upbeat (pun intended), fast paced, and fun! Especially for younger students, I will use games and interactive activities to keep the student engaged, although I do believe games are good for the soul at all ages. I will give detailed feedback to students and teach the student at whatever pacing works best for them. Read More

Being up-front, teaching is a newer experience for me, but I have had some experience teaching young beginner students. While at that time I was teaching at my home, me being in college makes it much better to go to the student's home and teach. Since I have played my instrument for over 15 years, I feel as though I have quite a lot to offer when it comes to the essence of performing and putting on display a love for music! Read More

I really enjoy teaching theory on the fretboard, and exploring chord construction is one of my favorite moderate/intermediate topics. In general, I'm a strengths-based, metaphor-heavy teacher, looking for ways to connect students with the material. Read More

I feel that it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals and assignments for my students at each lesson. This measurable progression of accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. Of course finding out the students problem areas is also paramount to helping them progress at the fastest rate possible. I also believe that while our relationship is professional, I do take a personal interest in each of my students as some of the best teachers I have ever had, took a personal interest in me. Read More
