Music Lessons in Farmington, UT

Instruments: Trumpet

Practice doesn't make perfect; PERFECT practice makes perfect! The best way to develop a skill is to work consistently and carefully, which is why I encourage all of my students not just to practice until they get it right, but to practice until they can't get it wrong. That being said, students must work at their own pace for this method to be effective. Together, the student and I will set realistic goals at each lesson, allowing the student to feel a personal responsibility in achieving progress. Read More

All I want for my students is to reach their goals. Goals are important. Goals get you to your next goal. I want to share my passion and experiences of drumming with my students. I want to see my students grow. I want my students to share with me what music makes them want to grow. I have had the honor of performing with many amazing musicians, probably some of the best.

My favorite part about teaching is teaching beginners. It's so much fun to introduce a brand new instrument to someone and show them all that learning music has to offer. I mainly focus on the basics of music, and music theory in order to give students the tools they need to teach themselves when I'm not around, or if lessons have to discontinue for some reason. Once the basics of music theory have been grasped, it makes learning the technical aspects of the new instrument much faster, and easier. Read More

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard

I love teaching students how to read the music. It really makes my day when they can play a piece and enjoy the music. I want them to then go forth and share the joy with others. Usually I play a piece over and over until I get it, then I have a little fun with it.I enjoy teaching music as a substitute teacher. I currently play piano or organ at 3 different congregations.

It is important for me to be aware of individual learning styles, so each lesson is tailored to each student's needs. Often the goals for students depends on demands from school, so it is important to establish these based on school requirements as well as personal accomplishments the student may have. I use a lot of encouragement and positive feedback to help students stay motivated while at the same time introducing challenging material so that students feel inspired to excel. Read More

I began teaching in 2016, and instantly fell in love with helping others learn a new skill! I think it is important to work together with my students (and their parents) to create a safe environment for learning and growth. I enjoy being able to cater my lessons to each individual student and find teaching styles that work well for them. It is rewarding to help my students recognize their growth over time, and support them in achieving their musical goals. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

My beginner students use the Essential Elements book. With that book, you can learn fundamentals in trumpet technique as well as counting. For all other students, I use the Herbert L. Clarke Technical Studies book and selections from the Arban's Conservatory Method. We cover a lot of etudes and techniques from the Arban's book. I also believe collaboration is important in lessons so often we will play duets together in lessons. Read More
