Music Lessons in Decatur, GA

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My philosophy about teaching music to a student is to be original and musical as possible in order that the foundation of pure music inspiration and creativity is attained. My number one goal is that the student is completely happy with what he or she is learning and I strive to keep learning fun and at their own pace. I encourage the guitar student to inspire themselves by writing their own melody and develop a harmony over that melody. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba

With young beginner students, I start with either the Essential Elements books for wind instruments or the Faber method for piano. After basic musical skills have been developed I'll move on to more interesting solo pieces based on the interests and needs of the students. With adults, I tend to talk to them a little more specifically about what their musical goals and influences are and help them to achieve them in their playing. Read More

I studied with Dr. Chapman, former director of the music department at University of North Georgia, for 4 years. The classical training and numerous recitals adequately prepared me for the years to come. I play live music at various restaurants and events in the Fayette county area (including Frank's at the Old Mill every Tuesday). My teaching experience is limited as I began teaching this year; however, the students that I have currently have progressed phenomenally. Read More

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard

My teaching style is diverse and different. I have taught at many different levels to many different students. 1) music theory is vital 2) music history is vital 3) music appreciation is vital 4) students "want to" level is vital... Put all of those together and tou have a successful journey. Students who never are beginners are the most fun because we both grow together! I teach scales and notes first, then comes the fingering for the notes on the pages. Read More

As for vocal lessons, I'll figure out a student's vocal range and voice type, then ask them the kind of songs they want to sing, and why they want to sing them. If the student has vocal experience, I can help them expand their repertoire whether it be for theater auditions, choir tryouts, school group auditions, college prep, or just for fun! The material doesn't matter to me vocally. I want the student to sing what they want to sing since it's such a personal experience to create music using the body. Read More
