Music Lessons in Cripple Creek, CO

Instruments: Piano

My lessons are usually 30 minutes long for beginners. On top of learning from a piano series, I like to incorporate songs and styles that the student is insterested in learning. Theory and technique are also very important aspects of the lesson. Most importantly, I want the student to find their lesson time enjoyable, and make them excited to learn more. Read More

My methods are based on what YOU want to learn! They do vary based on YOUR level and knowledge. I am not a so called "Professional, trained by the book" teacher, BUT I do take what I do very serious and act/present myself in professional manner. I learned my craft based on passion and feeling and I teach exactly like that. It's all from the heart. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin

I started teaching private lessons at the age of 15. I am classically trained but do enjoy Celtic and fiddling music as well. I had the opportunity to voluntarily teach violin and cello at community center in 2017. I have also taught Suzuki group classes as well. I have received my Suzuki Teacher Training for Violin Books 1-6. I enjoy teaching all levels. Seeing others excel and progress is a great joy to me. Read More

I love watching students find their love for music. It's so amazing to see them develop into into fine musicians who can communicate through the power of music. I believe it is important for students to set weekly goals as well as long term goals that they can achieve. I find that when you set goals that are achievable it helps motivate you to get better. As a teacher, I want to encourage every student to reach their goals and push past their limitations. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo

For 26 years I have had the pleasure of teaching music to students of all ages. Since I started lessons young, I have taken lessons for as many years I have taught. My firsthand knowledge leads me to focus on the importance of a good teacher/student relationship, because it is directly linked to student motivation. During my training, I studied with professors at top music institutions, and am fortunate to have acquired a wealth of experience from professionals at the peak of their careers. Read More

I like to think I'm a laid-back kind of guy, though I can get loud and boisterous sometimes when a student figures something hard out. I wonder sometimes if I don't get more excited about a student's breakthrough than he does! My wife sometimes tells me I have no "indoor voice," lol. I don't give grades (except for my college students, because I have to), but if I did, the grade would be either "A" or "I," as in incomplete, as in do it over until it's great. Read More
