Music Lessons in Glen Saint Mary, FL

Instruments: Violin Viola

I am a professional level violinist who has been playing for almost ten years. I started my internship in my junior year of high school as a middle school orchestra assistant and I have enjoyed teaching ever since. I am a current student at the University of North Florida where I am studying Music Education and participating in the UNF Orchestra. We, as an orchestra, have had multiple opportunities to travel and play with other groups and in places of high respect. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola

I like to use a common sense approach with a foundation in music theory to develop the whole musician. I will encourage note reading but will give harmonic context for the singer or keyboardist looking to improve versatility. Read More

Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion

My methods and practices depend on the goals and level of the student. For a beginner student, I like to start with a mix of genre-based learning and fundamentals. We will go over the most important and common drum beats that correspond to different genres, the most useful fills, and technical aspects such as posture and technique. Of course, we will use the student's favorite music to reinforce and learn these concepts. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Euphonium Music

I have primarily been a church musician for the past 15 years, but have also played in drum and bugle corps, orchestra and concert style bands. My main instrument is the trumpet, having played for 35 years. I give lessons on all brass instruments, although trumpet is my primary. I can teach any style. I have played guitar for about 25 years and my primary focus is classical or accoustic. Currently I am the choir and band director at Saint Francis Catholic Academy (High School) and am available during the summer, and throughout the year in the late afternoons. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Recorder Music Keyboard

I have taught music classes (choir, music theory, hand bells, recorders, and general music) for Kindergarten-10th grade for seven years, and I have taught private music lessons for over 10 years. I have taught students as young as five years old, and I've had students well into their retirement years as well. Everyone can enjoy learning about music; that's what makes music so unique and amazing. My highest goal is to inspire my students to love music, practice well, and perform to the best of their ability. Read More

Instruments: Piano

For students that are just starting, I love using Bastien Piano Basic books and Alfred's Basic Piano library! These both have great selections and have all different levels to meet the student's needs. After the student moves out of these basic piano books, we can start working on learning songs and developing some solo pieces for their repertoire. For adults that are learning piano, I leave a lot up to the student because most of the time they already have something in mind that they would like to learn or work their way up to learning a particular piece.

Instruments: Violin Music

My teaching style focuses on each student as an individual. I do not believe in making the student look or play exactly like me in terms of technique or style. I am kind, energetic, and engaging, but I can also be strict if it is required in order to meet the student's goals. I like to make learning and lessons exciting because it keeps the student engaged and inspired. Although students can expect clarity and consistency in terms of what is expected from me, I will never deliver my lessons in an exclusive way. Read More
