Music Lessons in Grasselli, AL

Instruments: Piano

For beginning students, I like to start with some starting note learning drills on paper or going through some beginner books. I am a firm believer in that the more a student practices reading music, the easier it will come. I realize that some students learn music better by ear, and I will work to develop that skill alongside the essentials of reading the music on paper. As they progress, I hope to introduce different kinds of solo music in order to teach different skills and techniques that are involved, while still keeping the music fun and accomplishing the goals that the student wants to accomplish.

I teach students based on their own individual development and pace, but I do push them so that they can improve and become better musicians. I always schedule a recital at the end of the semester and encourage students to perform in festivals and competitions so that they have opportunities to perform. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

Students progress is largely a function of time spent working toward their goals. I have heard it said that in order to become an expert at anything, one must only spend 10,000 hours doing it. This is roughly 40 hours a week for 10 years. Bass is no different. In order for students to spend this ridiculous amount of time on something, they must be excited about it. If it is something that they choose for themselves, they will be. Read More
