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

I encourage my students to practice smart instead of long. This is especially important for young students. I teach my students to self-evaluate their own playing. When difficult areas are recognized, this is where the practicing focus should be. Above all, music should be enjoyable! Hard work disguised as FUN is my goal. I am great at giving positive feedback. I enjoy celebrating success. I feel that it is important to let the student set the pace and then encourage from there. Read More

I've been teaching for over 4 years with this last year at Guitar Center in Ogden. I love teaching and finding ways to motivate and get my students excited about learning and progressing on their instrument. I focus on developing a personalized curriculum for each of my students and helping them work toward their musical goals - whether it be casual strumming or more serious pursuits. I teach foundational music theory, fretboard, knowledge, reading/understanding tablature and also basic instrument maintenance. Read More

I've always believed that learning comes 50% from the teacher, and 50% from the student. I do teach through lesson books but I've always found that they're better used as a guide rather than the focus of every lesson. I like to give the students the freedom to learn what they want to learn. I've always been willing to go the extra mile for my students, not just show up every week and continue from page 20 to see how far we get in the lesson book. Read More

I really want to focus on what students want to become. It is really important to me to see a student develop a passion of music. With that everyone learns at their own pace so I want to be able to help them learn at their pace. Something I also think is important is I cannot teach everything in one session. If the student is wanting to learn and grow then they have to take on practicing on their own. Read More

Music has always been a profound source of inspiration in my life, and I feel deeply that it has the power to heal the world. Keeping it alive through teaching and performing has been a great joy and privilege as I watch students grow and become enriched from the immense benefits that studying and playing music provides. I have had the good fortune to perform internationally with virtuoso musicians, and have been witness to the incredible healing powers of music by performing in non traditional settings such as hospitals and orphanages as well as onstage.

Instruments: Voice

I have been working and training different voices for years, in different musical genres with excellent results. During the classes you can expect specific breathing exercises, vocalization, and the study of songs and interpretation. We also discuss concepts of musical theory, which will allow you to develop and make yourself understood in any musical field. A good singer for me is a versatile artist, who can feel free to sing anything at any time. Read More
