Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Organ Music
Having patience is the greatest way to be successful! Whatever goal you are looking for, being patient about your progress is the most important aspect when starting out in music or pursuing a career. In a world where everything is going by so quickly, we tend to forget and appreciate some of the things happening in the background. We will set realistic goals and create mini-goals to hit those marks. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My teaching begun during my years of private instruction as a high school student. The wonderful aspect of my former teachers were that they allowed more advanced students to teach students that were not as advanced therefore giving the more advanced student a chance to learn and develop skills of teaching. I also taught private students through college and was hired to teach as an interim class piano instructor at Bethune-Cookman University while there was a lack of piano teachers. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute
I tailor each of my lessons to the needs and desires of each individual. I am fond of using method books such as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements or Bruce Peterson's Standard of Excellence (or, with school children in a band program, whatever their method book may be), but I also like to bring separate handouts or sheets of exercises, drills, and songs that I have created over the years. I want each lesson to be engaging and fulfilling, and for the student to feel as though they can achieve the tasks set before them for each suceeding lesson. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My name is Jerry. I LOVE music and passing my knowledge on to others. I have played music for 35 years. I started on clarinet in 7th grade and soon after discovered guitar. I picked up bass in high school was awarded a full scholarship to play with the Valdosta Symphony Orchestra while majoring in music. I also played tuba for 2 years with the VSU Blazin' Brigade marching band. After college I joined the United States Marine Corps and played guitar for the 2nd Marine Division band. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been playing the piano since I was 7 years old and ever since the piano has been such a huge part of my life. I have been teaching piano since I was 16 and that was when I realized that teaching would always be apart of my life. Teaching someone how to play from the beginning is my true passion because it is such a beautiful thing to be able to learn such an astounding instrument and I love to be apart of that process.

Instruments: Piano
I am a passionate and devoted piano teacher with a real love of music and a strong desire to pass my knowledge onto others. I took seven years of piano lessons in grade school and graduated from Florida State College with an Associate of Arts in Music degree. I also played piano in the Charlton County High School Jazz Ensemble and at the United Methodist Church. I love working with children and other adults, and I am looking forward to being able to pass the gift of playing beautiful piano music onto them. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
From a young age, I've been interested in music, and I would often tap around on my grandma's piano, but alas I went toward brass instruments. I started playing trumpet in middle school around the age of 11, and I've been playing trumpet for about 11 years. I played for 3 years in my high school's marching band, winning state championship's one year, and 3rd the other years. I've played in jazz bands, concert bands, and I've participated in MPA.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Growing up, I always had a fascination with space! I didn't have the grades nor the determination to pursue it, but I also had a love for music I couldn't suppress.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother played piano as a child, but a lot of my initial inspiration came from my brother who played Tuba. He now plays guitar and sings in a group part-time in Long Beach, California.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The moment I knew I wanted to perform was a concert at Appalachian State. This concert was goofy, funny, a little bit weird, but so much fun. It reinvigorated my love for music and really showed me how diverse music can really be.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
By far, the Pop/70's/80's music has been the most enjoyable. Performing with many tribute bands, playing the music of my idols, and the overall experience of the groups I've played with has been the best for me.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I really only play trumpet, but I've dabbled in many other brass instruments as well as piano. Most were from neccisity having to learn it for school, but I just wanted to understand how other instruments worked.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece currently is La Virgen de la Macarena. It's showy, it's big, and it's perfect for me! Unfortunately I've never had a scenario in which I could perform it, but I hope to play it soon!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I wanted to perform, which I still do and enjoy doing, but I learned I enjoyed teaching and investing time into students. I wanted a higher-education degree so I could teach at a university eventually, but I'm currently trying to improve my performance career so I can have the experiences to teach from.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use the Bill Adam teaching method for most students who already have a grasp on the instrument. Using analogies and imagination to create music rather than just recording notes.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
We have what we call a "Routine". It varies per student, but it's essentially fundamentals to get your day started. It covers everything you'll need, no matter the circumstances. I think tend to play to online recordings, listen to other professional musicians, and take time to listen to new artists when I can.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Consistency, both in practice and performance. Developing a consistent practice routine is difficult until you get used to. There are also a lot of aspects to control while playing, and being able to do all that takes time.
