Music Lessons in Kenner, LA

Instruments: Saxophone Recorder

I try to assess a student's abilities, wants, and needs to create a hand-tailored program of success, set at the speed of your own learning! Read More

Instruments: Flute

I have been a teacher and a leader for over 10 years. My forte is one on one interaction, and it is incredibly gratifying to see a student grasp and understand the concepts presented. I have found that life skills are under-appreciated in formal training but invaluable for success. The way we play music is informed not only by our knowledge of theory and our preparation of the notes, but also by our habits, health, and personal experience. Read More

For beginners, I show them basic chords (Major, Minor and Diminished) if they're a guitarist and if they're a bassist, I teach them octaves and basic waking lines.

If they're intermediate to advanced, I ask them what they feel they need work on and we focus on that. For example, a student might want to know how to solo over a basic rock or blues progression or the bassist might wanna know how to make his basslines swing more. Read More
