Music Lessons in Christiana, TN

Instruments: Piano

I have been teaching piano for 8 years, and have experience teaching children as well as adults. My youngest student was 5 and my oldest 73. My experience has taught me that it is important to be flexible depending on individual students' learning styles and needs. For example, if I have a young student and they don't know how to read music, we will play rhythm clapping games so they can understand how to read rhythm rather than trying to read rhythm and play the rhythms at the piano, simultaneously.

I approach teaching by meeting my students where they are and addressing their goals. However, there are fundamental techniques that apply to any application and musical setting that we will cover extensively so that you are prepared to play anything. We will also work on reading and groove. I have played virtually all styles of music common in the USA and am prepared to teach my students how to play them well. Read More

My main focus is on reaching the student, and fostering their love of music. I am adamant about instilling in students the genuine excitement and desire to pick up their instrument and practice. This is the most important lesson and will never leave a student. I do this largely by integrating what a student needs to learn in order to excel into what they want to learn, and I have had great success with this method. Read More

Although I may be fairly new to formal teaching, my experience working in groups and sessions has taught me an incredible amount about humility and teamwork. I believe in placing emphasis on being a well-rounded person and musician above prioritizing skill on whatever instrument my students intend to learn. Being humble only increases your chances of success, especially if your talent is backed by humility and understanding. After all, there are no business or work relationships, only relationships.

I have been with Musika in the Nashville/Brentwood area for ten years after a twelve year hiatus from teaching. Before touring as a full-time artist starting in 1998 I had already taught piano and voice for fourteen years in the Los Angeles area. Some of my former students are themselves music teachers and professional musicians. I can give recommendations if need be. I have been a professional musician for over thirty years. Read More

Instruments: Drums Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion

I am a recent graduate of Berklee College of music in Boston with 10 years of teaching experience, and 22 years playing experience. I have won multiple drum competitions and have experience performing in all styles from jazz (Phil Woods) to folk (Jay Ungar and Molly Mason). I first got excited about the drums from watching local bands play in my hometown of Ithaca, NY. From there I began to play in the jazz band at a community music school, and soon after that began playing in elementary school concert and jazz band. Read More
