Music Lessons in Calumet, OK

Instruments: Voice

Building a Strong Foundation: A solid technical foundation is essential for musical growth. I prioritize the development of fundamental skills such as proper technique, music theory, ear training, and sight-reading, laying the groundwork for students to excel in any musical style or genre. Creative Exploration: While technique is important, I also encourage creative exploration and expression. I incorporate improvisation, composition, and exploration of various musical styles to foster students' creativity and musicality. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

The lesson material is completely dependent on the student. I believe the most important things for someone to learn are keys, chords, scales,intervals and improvisation. For students are just beginning the first step is to learn the notes on the neck of the guitar. The next step is to begin learning intervals that way the student is able to build chords on the neck. From there is goes on to chords then scales and then keys. Read More

My only reward is seeing one of my students getting better, and developing a passion for music! I will work with each student at their own pace to ensure that they are able to reach realistic goals.

Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and I will do my best to figure out what inspires the student so that i can access my instructions successfully to their needs.
