Music Lessons in Graham, FL

Instruments: Violin Music

Hi there! I can't remember a time when I wasn't involved with music in some way. I started in the Suzuki program in 2001, so playing the violin is like a second language for me. I have enjoyed both being a student and a teacher and I am ready to create a diverse studio of all levels, ages, and backgrounds. Being inclusive is something I pride myself on and it is the way in which today's music world is headed. Read More

My teaching style is very high energy, fun, and rewarding. Watching students grow in confidence as they progress is my favorite part of being a teacher. In the arts, we are always being criticized. For example, how can one person love a song/band and another one feel they are horrible? We all have a preference to what we like and I feel we should only judge ourselves by where we have been and where we are at currently. Read More

I first began teaching when I was in college. I had several students that would come to my home to take lessons with me. As I was studying drums at University at the time, I was able to know a good lesson and teacher from a bad one. After a couple of years teaching independently, I began working as a drum instructor for Studio Percussion of Music and Dance in Gainesville, Florida. Read More

I am oriented to my students. I always try to start with their expectations and gradually add my advice to that, so that our lessons are your comfort zone where you feel safe and honest.

Cant wait to see your progress and plan next steps accordingly. Read More

For my beginner students, who are younger, I start off with the Faber series in the Primer levels. After progressing through the first few levels of the series, I then start to introduce solo repertoire depending on the interests of the student. For my older students, we also go through the Faber Adult Piano Adventures book, where we learn the basics of piano along with some fun pieces. I teach more information outside of the book which is not taught until later to get ahead. Read More

For beginning students I combine solfege, breathing exercises and methods that fits the student's goals. Once the students not only progress, but also tailor the path that want to follow, I will adjust every single aspect to help you get to your goals in a smart way. The most important thing is to always find ways to have fun and always avoid frustration and avoid to create bad habits that could be developed with careless instruction. Read More

It has been a great experience to teach students from varying schooling types and I am able to adjust my teaching strategies depending on what a student is used to. For example, many homeschooled students prefer online learning, so it is important to cater to that. It is also very important to me to offer all students a productive and engaging learning experience regardless of any learning disability such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, etc. Read More
