Music Lessons in Cedar Hills, FL

Instruments: Piano

I begin all students with the appropiate level of the Alfred's method. If they have had training with another method, I work to blend that method with the Alfred's method during the first month or two of lessons. Once the student has learned the fundamentals, I introduce them to the solo repertoire appropriate for their level and their genre of greatest interest to them. I hold a recital once a year to give students experience in performance. Read More

The methods that shape my teaching are diverse, but at the core is the Dalcroze approach, which transforms music theory into a lived, physical, and intuitive experience. I begin with practical exploration and adapt each lesson to the individual needs, interests, and learning style of every student. By connecting movement, listening, and creativity, this approach keeps students motivated, engaged, and excited about learning. My goal is to help them develop not only skill, but a genuine and lasting love for music. Read More

My style of teaching is focused on kindling the flame that ignited the interest in the first place, and fanning it into a fiery passion for honing the craft that is musicianship. When the student progresses to an intermediate level, or in the event that they're already there, I will direct more attention towards improvisation, which targets the students imagination, improves ear training, and expands the students vocabulary of chord shapes and scale patterns.

Whatever goal you are looking for, being patient about your progress is the most important aspect when starting out in music or pursuing a career.

We will set realistic goals and create mini-goals to hit those marks. Read More

I have been teaching in some capacity since college. I have directed a high-school praise team and taught guitar, piano, and recorder in a corrections institute. One of my earliest students was a former band-mate. One of the early lessons is the importance of practice. He saw for the first time my work ethic and commitment to daily practice. What I learned from the experience is the importance of demonstrating good music study habits and encouraging the students interest in music so that they can continue to grow and enjoy the guitar.
