Music Lessons in Hampton, FL

Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion

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

Instruments: Flute

Most of my students are playing the flute or piano for an extracurricular/hobby activity. Therefore, I do not want any student to view lessons as work. Above all else, lessons should be fun! I want to challenge my students but never overwhelm them. I work with students at their own pace and try to make the environment as fun and as laid-back as I can. I love playing alongside my students so they are not always playing alone because sometimes playing by yourself in front of a teacher can be stressful. 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 started working with children when I was attending Florida State College. I took a course on elementary education, and did some field work at a local elementary school. It was there that I found out how much I really loved kids. I had a wonderful time in the classroom. It was fun getting to know the students, and I loved how their faces lit up when I read them stories or helped them with their arts and crafts. Read More
