Music Lessons in Delray Beach, FL

Instruments: Trumpet

With beginners, I start with the basics of acquiring the best sound possible, believing sound to be the fundamental building block. I then start with scales, teaching fingering, and basic reading. Of course, my methods depend on the age and level of student I am teaching. Everything varies with each student. The more advanced the student is, the more they will know exactly what they want to learn and how they want to learn. Read More

I like working with songs that students will enjoy playing or singing. I use songs as tools that include new information; so, with each piece, student learns something new with the joy of "just" learning a song. I create lesson plans that allow students to learn one step at a time. I use variety of methods that help students to focus and/or refocus on the concepts they are learning. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone

For all students I believe in technique.  For vocal students I start with working on how to have a free flowing sound and work on the natural sounds that can be created by each individual students.  Many people "create" their sounds, trying to mimic someone they have heard in the past.  I can help foster the best sound for you and apply it to repertoire that is appropriate and that you enjoy!!  As far as saxophone and piano, I begin at the beginning.

My initial lessons for all ages and levels begin with discussing expectations, motivations, and past experiences with music. Lessons should feel engaging fun, and productive. New players will learn fun ways to read music, feet positions, and hand exercises. Once a foundation is established, we'll learn more advanced skills and solo material. Beginners and intermediate players will always encounter scales and etudes as well as solo material just challenging enough to learn something new and fun enough they'll practice until they rock it.

I believe that every human being is unique, and that uniqueness affects the way one learns. This is why I do not have a method that I use for each of my students. After I get to know my student, I am able to find out which method fits his/her needs in a more complete way. However, here is a short list of the books that I use for most of my students. Read More

I talk to them about my experience with music, how i became aware at their age how music made me feel and how it made other people feel: happy, sad, excited, feel like dancing etcetera.

I brag about kids to their parents. i encourage them to practice without scolding, I like to say Ive been doing this a long time and I know when my students aren't practicing. Read More
