Music Lessons in Blacklick, OH

Instruments: Piano Voice

I normally start out with the Faber and Faber Piano Adventures methods books for the piano students. This includes a lesson book and a theory book. The lesson book will teach the student the physical skill of playing piano by presenting them with leveled songs to learn. The theory book will focus more on the mechanics of music and playing and require some written work. These two methods work very well together to give the student a comprehensive experience with the piano. Read More

We will work together to set an effective practice routine that helps you achieve that goal while making you feel accomplished and engaged. After all, having fun is the name of the game! Read More

I would love to find opportunities for students to perform their repertoire and show what they have learned whether that is a private recital for family and friends or a voice competition. Read More

Over my years of teaching I have developed various "games" and "fun" lessons to keep young ones interested while learning important skills. For older students and adults I adapt a teaching style based on what I refer to as the four pillars Pat Martino, Don Mock, Howard Roberts and Ted Greene into a lesson plan to suit the individual. I do not believe that a cookie cutter teaching method could possibly accomplish nearly as much. Read More

To me, music is the perfect marriage of discpline and freedom. In order for students to develop the ability to express themselves through music, My approach combines technical skills with creative development. With each student, I design an invidiual cirricullum that allows them to clearly see their progress over time and experience the joy and satisfaction of acomplishment. Whatever a student's goals, I develop lesson plans that will accomplish them, and I encourage students to develop their own capabilities. Read More
