Music Lessons in Grayson, GA

Instruments: Violin

The most rewarding feeling is when a student of mine feels a passion for the music they are learning. They are passionate usually because they are succeeding. Therefore I make it a mission of mine to set realistic goals for each student at each lesson. I constantly acknowledge students accomplishments and good habits, which in reaction makes students excited to learn more. By trying to observe what inspires each student, I can efficiently assign repertoire to each student accordingly in order to boost their interest and learning curve. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I would ask my students to find any patterns in the pieces and any differences between the same or similar passages. I often ask students to tell me what they can find throughout the pieces based on the knowledge they have and what they have acquired through the lessons. I ask them to listen while playing and train them to listen. When they make mistakes, they likely do notice the weirdness about them by listening the sound. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Piccolo

For students of all ages, I like to lead with the quote from Marcel Moyse; "Practicing is a matter a time, patience and intelligent work", for I believe that once this is applied to the idea of practicing and general encounters with ones instrument, then success and progress is guaranteed. Aside from that principle, I like the idea of independent work from students to keep them accountable on the journey to becoming a musician but a more interactive and demonstrative approach during the lesson to give students an idea of what needs to be done while being that good role model so that they may keep motivated work hard at becoming the best possible musicians.

Instruments: Guitar Mandolin Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am a passionate and professional music teacher who has been teaching music for over a decade. I learned guitar at the age of fifteen and never stopped learning! I was in both the Marching Band and high school varsity band during the mid 2000s and after that I recorded an acoustic album which features both my guitar playing and singing. I believe music itself is both an expression and a feeling and having the ability to teach this skill set to others is a pleasure to me. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet

For teaching trumpet fundamentals, there are a handful of helpful books that I use. One of the main books I would suggest students to use is the Arban book. This book contains exercises for just about everything on the trumpet, ranging from excerpts that are challenging for beginners, and excerpts that are challenging for more experienced players too. Another book I would use is Clarke Technical Studies. This book contains a lot of exercises to help build dexterity in the fingers with playing the trumpet. Read More
