Music Lessons in Indian Lake Estates, FL

Instruments: Clarinet

I am an organized teacher and lessons are structured to accommodate technique development and fun solo work. Each month we will set a goal, and build a weekly plan to get you to accomplish that goal. I ask students to keep a journal of their goals and practice time focus so we can measure how we're working to our goal. We will always do warm up exercises, scale of the week to improve sight-reading, finger twisters to improve technical ability, and solo work of your choosing to put all that practice into action!

Instruments: Piano

I have been teaching piano since High School and have learned a lot since then; both in my personal studies and from my many students. Each student teaches me a new perspective on music and piano, inspiring me to further refine my craft as a teacher and player. My goal is not to make professional musicians out of my students, but rather to give them a skill they can carry and enjoy in a healthy way for the rest of their life. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with John Thompson's The Easiest Piano Course, Part1 and I always try to reach Part 4 with the student. After 6 mounts of having lessons with the same kids I am offering them to perform in front of there parents, friends and neighbors. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music

For my methods of teaching, I work on rudiments and work on basics for percussion. Even if the student has played percussion for years, I still want them to understand the fundementals for the instrument. As soon as the student is finished with rudiments, I want them to look at the different etudes in a percussion book that I will work off of for each meeting. As far as materials go, I am hoping that the student will have drumsticks and a practice pad. Read More

I've been teaching lessons for a number of years now, and am looking for new students in the Orlando area. I feel like a strong grasp of the basics of technique will help any student reach their goal. I am passionate about teaching music because I see how many people live their every day lives with such a huge amount of talent, and no one to guide them or encourage them. Read More
