Music Lessons in Bridlewood, AL

Instruments: Piano

I began teaching private piano lessons when I was a junior in college. I taught all ages including children, teenagers, and adults. I encourage consistent and regular practicing with my students because that is how one succeeds at playing an instrument. I teach students based on their own individual development and pace, but I do push them so that they can improve and become better musicians. I always schedule a recital at the end of the semester and encourage students to perform in festivals and competitions so that they have opportunities to perform. 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

No matter the ability level, the plan of attack is to keep the lessons fun, productive, and furfilling. For beginners, we will stick to fundamentals and essential elements that will give you an edge to succeed and develop. After I see progression, I plan to dig into more advanced elements that will keep your interest. This is really where the students will see results. For intermediate to advanced musicians/learners, I plan to take it up a notch and challenge the students while keeping it fun and attainable. Read More
