Instruments: Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience dates back to my High School years, as I began teaching private lessons part time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students throughout my life for the last 10 years. I encourage regular practice on a consistent schedule, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that getting my beginner students learning the songs they want to learn can go a long way in helping students enjoy the guitar and motivate them to practice and continue to learn.

I have taught private lessons for 15 years. I emphasize the practice makes perfect rule of thumb. I tell my students you're not studio/performance ready until you can play through a song 10 times without error. I encourage improvisation. I always say if you can count to 4 you can start learning in less than 10 minutes. I stress the importance of practicing every chance a student gets. I strongly advise recording yourself and being your own critic prior to begining a student's live performance career. Read More

Instruments: Piano

For all of my beginning students, I use the method book Piano Safari because it teaches them reading music, playing music by rote, and technique all in one. There is a child version and an older beginner version. For students who are not beginners, I find them solo pieces that are suitable for them that they enjoy so that their playing will progress. For each lesson, I take the time to make a lesson plan. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Piccolo

These notes will be used in that lesson for a song we will be learning and also for his/her homework assignment for that week. I will also teach them to count for that song, so they are playing it correctly. For adults that are just starting is the same way, but if they are coming back playing again then I would help them on the level they are at, and we would pick up from there. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

This is my first experience teaching guitar, but I've had plenty of experience (12+ years) with tutors, band directors, and fellow musicians to have a feel for what "works." I believe in approaching students with an individualized approach, tailoring methods and exercises for different pupils. I've had experience teaching outside of music through camp counseling and University of Alabama outreach programs. I have a passion for education and believe it is equally beneficial for both tutor and pupil. Read More
