Instruments: Piano Voice Accordion Keyboard

  Music lessons will certainly broaden the students knowledge of music.  It has been proven through scientific study that the study of music will improve the individuals cognitive ability and aids in brain development.  Children who study music develop higher math and problem solving skills.    Age is not a factor as we are never to old to learn.  My students range in age from 5 years old to well into their 70’s, many of whom simply want to improve their skills or recapture the joy of making music.  The study and enjoyment of music can and often becomes a life long adventure whether its just for fun or as a career.

I’ve taught private piano lessons to both children and adults since 2008, tailoring my instruction to match each student’s goals, interests, and musical background. Whether in a formal church setting or private studio environment, I’ve worked with a range of learners—from absolute beginners to music professionals preparing for performance and ministry. My approach emphasizes musical literacy, ear training, creative expression, and the joy of discovery across genres. Read More

Then method and studies as Mueller, Hackelman, Gallay, Belloli, Levi. Works with piano accompaniment and in chamber music formats are part of my teaching accordingly to student's level. In my experience with kids I have been able to achieve success implementing own materials. With piano lessons ( beginners level only) methods as Hanon, the Little Pischna, Czerny, Ana Magdalene Bach's books and many others can be helpful in beginner level to achieve finger independence, dual musical lecture, mechanic and motor skills, articulations, dynamics, etc. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone

I began teaching lessons in college, and have enjoyed it from the very first day. I try to evaluate each student spefifically and see what they need to improve in the most efficient manner possible. Exercises and drills are present in my lessons, but I alwaystry to teach the bulk of trumpet fundamentals through actual music such as etudes, solos, band music, duets,etc. In this style of teaching, the students can pick what they want to play (after I give them a few guidelines), and we can still target the areas of playing that need work.

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

For my beginning students who are children, I typically start with Standard Of Excellence. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I also include ear training by having my students play note/ notes after me in a Call and Response maner. Read More

Instruments: Trombone

I believe that each student requires differing methods of instruction in order to grow, so I stay adaptable in which exercises and etudes/solos I assign to meet this requirement. I am also generally happy to hear whatever a student wants to bring in if they have suggestions of their own. I think that being open to working on what a student wants to work on, at least most of the time, is instrumental in ensuring that the student stays motivated in their practicing and continues to have fun playing the trombone!

Instruments: Guitar

I will first understand what direction the student wants to go musically, whether it be playing chords and singing or being entirely a solo guitarist. From there we can understand what style they want to be playing as I would encourage having a basic understanding of all musical styles. I will also encourage them to have a basic understanding of music theory, for I believe this to be very important in order to understand concepts of music and be able to communicate them. Read More
