Music Lessons in Jacksonville Beach, FL

Instruments: Bass Guitar

The methods that shape my teaching are diverse, but at the core is the Dalcroze approach, which transforms music theory into a lived, physical, and intuitive experience. I begin with practical exploration and adapt each lesson to the individual needs, interests, and learning style of every student. By connecting movement, listening, and creativity, this approach keeps students motivated, engaged, and excited about learning. My goal is to help them develop not only skill, but a genuine and lasting love for music. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

First in a lesson, I will go over what the student already knows, and what they have been practicing, as well as what they would like to practice. The student might not know what there is to practice or learn, so I'll give them materials and the tools to be able to get better with practice. I understand that not everyone will find playing a new instrument natural, and that's okay. Read More

As previously stated, I love sharing my passion for music and piano with my students! With that being said, watching my students grow as a musician is truly an amazing experience to be apart of!

I teach because I want students to walk out of my lesson with more knowledge than when they entered. I do not expect all my students to continue music for the rest of their life but I want them to have a pleasant experience with making music and learning music. Read More

I guess my love for playing/teaching music outweighed my desire for an extra paycheck at the time, which I was making playing bars and weddings on the weekend. Despite the fact that I wasn't charging for my lessons, I noticed the "students" were coming back for a different reason. It was because they were having fun. They were learning fast because I showed them ways to enjoy the beginning stages where, let's face it, nobody's good. Read More
