Music Lessons in Brooker, FL

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

I am oriented to my students. I always try to start with their expectations and gradually add my advice to that, so that our lessons are your comfort zone where you feel safe and honest. Having conversations, getting to know each other are also an important part of our lessons to build trust with each other that eventually makes the musical process easier, better and more effective. Cant wait to see your progress and plan next steps accordingly. Read More

Instruments: Flute

It has been a great experience to teach students from varying schooling types and I am able to adjust my teaching strategies depending on what a student is used to. For example, many homeschooled students prefer online learning, so it is important to cater to that. It is also very important to me to offer all students a productive and engaging learning experience regardless of any learning disability such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, etc. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

From a young age, I've been interested in music, and I would often tap around on my grandma's piano, but alas I went toward brass instruments. I started playing trumpet in middle school around the age of 11, and I've been playing trumpet for about 11 years. I played for 3 years in my high school's marching band, winning state championship's one year, and 3rd the other years. I've played in jazz bands, concert bands, and I've participated in MPA.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute

I tailor each of my lessons to the needs and desires of each individual. I am fond of using method books such as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements or Bruce Peterson's Standard of Excellence (or, with school children in a band program, whatever their method book may be), but I also like to bring separate handouts or sheets of exercises, drills, and songs that I have created over the years. I want each lesson to be engaging and fulfilling, and for the student to feel as though they can achieve the tasks set before them for each suceeding lesson. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is based on the wants and needs of the individual student. There are some concepts that are universal. There are also instruments that require more strict adherence to certain techniques. (Orchestral string instruments playing classical music is a perfect example.) Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. If you have never had that experience then you should sign up and find out. I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that! Read More

Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Euphonium Music

Whenever I give lessons, I set a teaching plan based on individual circumstances. I use the same materials the student uses in their school. I add material as I see fit as we go along, I have found it is more effective than trying to fit everybody into the same box. Some examples say on guitar with a few high school students I have had in the past. I had a couple who wanted to simply be able to play along with their church choirs. Read More
