Music Lessons in Civic Center, CO

Instruments: Drums

I am new to teaching, so I take a practical approach to my teaching style by being mindful of each student's personality and strengths, and then build upon a foundation of respect for each other. When a student is eager to learn, that makes my job easier and we can move forward into the next level of mastery. When a student is only somewhat interested, I slow down to help them figure out how to proceed. Read More

If you want to learn jazz chord structure we can do that, too! If you want to improve solo on some scales, we can, of course, DO THAT!For bass guitar students I prefer to only take moderate to advanced students.

Of course some basics are neccesary but I like to make the basics sound as musical as possible. We will cover the fundamentals but we'll do so in such a way that it won't feel like so much work. I like to use books, depending on skill level, for reference but I have a very hands on approach and feel that the best work to be done together is the stuff that can't be found in the book.

I try to understand the needs of my student; musical, technical, personal. We are all different, so we start from different points. There are no superior and inferior starting points, for we never know where the shortest paths lie. The following are the bare necessities: 1) Realistic Goals. Reaching those goals will give the student satisfaction and encouragement to proceed further. 2) Making Progress, no matter how small, every lesson. A journey is movement. Read More

My teaching experience goes all the way back to when I was in high school. I was teaching my peers outside of school, giving them lessons, helping them with music theory, etc., and I have helped more than one of them go on to music school with me. Ive been teaching guitar lessons on their own for 10 years, starting by teaching beginners and working my way up to more advanced teaching about 5 years ago. Read More
