Music Lessons in Graham, FL

Instruments: Piano

For younger beginners, I typically start with Hal Leonard’s essential elements, every once in a while, I encourage them to find their favorite song (it can be any type of music) to study and play in the lesson. It can be the entertainment during lessons. The purpose it to make lessons more fun and keep them motivated. For adults, I always try to find out what is the best, what the student is interested in, what is the goal, guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons fun and productive. Read More

First in a lesson, I will go over what the student already knows, and what they have been practicing, as well as what they would like to practice. The student might not know what there is to practice or learn, so I'll give them materials and the tools to be able to get better with practice. I understand that not everyone will find playing a new instrument natural, and that's okay. Read More

How they learn, have fun or feel comfortable can be different from one another. Read More

Whenever I give lessons, I set a teaching plan based on individual circumstances. I use the same materials the student uses in their school. I add material as I see fit as we go along, I have found it is more effective than trying to fit everybody into the same box. Some examples say on guitar with a few high school students I have had in the past. I had a couple who wanted to simply be able to play along with their church choirs. Read More

I tailor my teaching methods based on my students' individual needs. I use the following methods: The Alfred method uses a lot of colored pictures and graphics. The Bastien Method The Piano Party Series is great for those little ones who have never had lessons before. It is a lot of fun for the teachers also. We would suggest that the lyrics of the pieces be omitted, but the pictures and graphics are positive. Read More
