Instruments:
I design my own curriculum for all of my voice students, which usually comprises of basic piano and theory skills and vocal technique. Dependent upon the students interest level and personal goals, I determine the extent of the materials and the pace of the lessons. Since I only teach beginner piano for children and teens, I usually stick to the basic beginner books (i.e. Hal Leonard or John Thompson) and slowly Incorporate solo repertoire.
Instruments:
My style of teaching revolves around a solid foundation in technique and proper ways to practice. This is the hardest part about having music lessons, because its all about muscle memory. I advise learning the basics before jumping straight into learning pieces. It's very important to play the right way, and more importantly, practice the right way. Another thing that I teach is that failure is not bad in itself, but its only part of the process that lets a student know what to work on. Many times, failure is a result of certain muscles and movements not being trained yet, and not something that is out of reach. When learning how to play an instrument, patience is a must.
Instruments:
My goal and main priority as a teacher is to help my students achieve, then surpass their musical aspirations. I tend to use the first couple of lessons to get a feel for the students musical goals along with their current musical ability. Upon initial assessment of the students goals & playing level, I formulate a lesson plan that will most accurately develop the skills necessary to achieve their goals. I also strive to incorporate creative ways to keep my students inspired and eager to learn more. One way I enjoy motivating the students is to help them apply techniques and skill they learn to songs that they enjoy most.
Instruments:
I have been teaching flute lessons since 1986. I truly enjoy teaching and watching each student grow and learn to love playing the flute. I teach not only from a private lesson book method, but I encourage my students to bring their band music from their school band and we will work on that music. I also work with my students on their audition music for school and any other graded music that the band director might assign. I also help my students to prepare for All State auditions and Solo and Ensemble festival. In December 2015, we should be performing again at the Georgia Governor's Mansion for their Christmas Open House. We perform in the drawing room where hundreds of people will walk through the Mansion enjoying the Christmas decorations. It is a great deal of fun and we are only allowed to perform every 3 years. I also teach piccolo, alto flute and bass flute if the student has an opportunity to perform on the other instruments in the flute family. I provide scale sheets and I also have a lot of printed material that helps the student if he/she has a specific issue with music. I also teach music theory and I have a wonderful set of theory books that I teach from. I teach all ages and it is never too late to learn how to enjoy playing the flute!
Instruments:
My teaching experience began in high school where, as a junior, I began teaching middle school saxophone players. As I went through high school I began to realize that I had a knack for teaching young players one-on-one as opposed to a large classroom, this is what inspired me to study music performance as opposed to music education. When I moved to Kennesaw to change majors from Classical to Jazz Saxophone Performance, I realized how fortunate I was to now know how to teach both classical and jazz genres of my instrument. While at Kennesaw I have taught several students on clarinet and saxophone. There are few things in life that are as rewarding as seeing a breakthrough on a students face. Once they get through the initial discomfort of playing whichever instrument they choose, and they realize that playing a musical instrument well is a terrific accomplishment, the rewards are endless.
