Music Lessons in Haines City, FL

Instruments: Cello

For students of all levels, introducing the necessary techniques for their development as a cellist through pieces they find enjoyable and challenging is my top priority. Beginners I typically progress quickly through a variety of beginner books such as the Essential Elements or the Susuki method depending on the age and determination of the student, with a focus on learning recognizable and enjoyable tunes. Intermediate cellists will have either Goltermann or Bach works sprinkled in between pieces and arrangements they'd like to play. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar

After realizing how much I loved the music, I turned to video and started watching what those artists did. I fell in love with every single aspect of it and decided that that is what I see myself doing in the future. Therefore, I played in bands and wrote a ton of music throughout high school, and we even got paid to play in bars and venues during senior year (this was very exciting). Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Fiddle Music Keyboard

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Suzuki Method and playing by ear. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire on sheet music appropriate for their level of performance. It is important to stress the fundamentals of technique for my beginner students before just playing music. I like to incorporate music theory within their lessons, so not only are they able to hear a piece of music and can start playing but can also read sheet music that is put in front of them.

Instruments: Saxophone

The single commonality among all my students is maintaining a fun atmosphere in the midst of productivity. As artist, we should never take ourselves too seriously. It's counterproductive and creates tension both physically and socially.We strive to captivate audiences. Why not do the same in rehearsal? There's no point in being profound if you're not relatable. I always push my students to be true to how the writer wrote the piece. Read More
