Music Lessons in Carlton, OR

Instruments: Clarinet

What I enjoy about teaching is helping students reach their goals and being able to see their improvement from week to week. Everyone learns differently so it is a lot of fun to try different things and find the specific way that each student will thrive. The most important thing is that the student is having fun and feels like they are getting the most out of our time together. Read More

Instruments: Piano

My experience teaching begins in 1997 after returning to America having spent 13 years in Africa. I began with just 4 students but after short time (and a lot of word-of-mouth recommendations) my studio grew to over 25 students. I love the piano and I would like my students to find that same love. I try to make my lessons as fun as I can and I like to share my sense of humour with my students. Read More

Instruments: Voice Violin Viola Music

The atmosphere of my lessons is always calm, happy, playful, and fun. Each lesson varies according to the needs and level of the student. A typical lesson starts out with a greeting and catch up on the students week, then we get into some kind of technique exercise, scales, and arpeggios. Then we move onto a fun musical piece. I focus on teaching the music in its correct form with all proper notes, rhythms, dynamics and tempo markings. Read More

Student teacher relationships are the most important part of teaching in my opinion. I have the skills to teach my students whatever they may want to learn, but in order for the best results, it is important to me that I build a relationship with my students much like a friendship. My students enjoy spending time with me, and as a result they are more driven and excited to learn from me. Read More

Music is my life! I was raised in a family band and have been performing my entire life. I went to a little high school in a little town in Idaho and I am in my last semester of my bachelors degree for Music at Northwest Nazarene University. I have performed all over the northwest and have been on countless tours with the college groups. I am a very outgoing person and I try to be happy everyday. Read More

In 4th grade I got a recorder and from then on I've soaked up all the music experiences around me. I fondly remember my first solo performance was 5th grade, and my first honor band was that summer. By my senior year of high school I had been involved in a couple dozen honor bands/choirs/orchestras including an amazing tour of Europe in a 200 person band! I've taught individual lessons to little kids and elders, of all different skill levels, and strongly believe that it is never too late to learn an instrument. Read More
