Music Lessons in Lakewood, FL

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Music

For beginning students I combine solfege, breathing exercises and methods that fits the student's goals. Once the students not only progress, but also tailor the path that want to follow, I will adjust every single aspect to help you get to your goals in a smart way.

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: Voice

I like to start by exploring where the student is at in their musical education and what they are looking to study in private lessons. From there, we build the lesson around them! Once we’ve established where to begin, I’ll ask the student to choose a piece they’d like to perform and I’ll assign them a piece of my own choice as well. For my classical students I'll typically start with art song repertoire and for musical theatre I'll choose a classic piece. Read More

I enjoy teaching and I want my students to enjoy learning from me. I have a huge passion for music making and I am willing to accommodate students as best as I can and assist them to do the best they can do. 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

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.

We will set realistic goals and create mini-goals to hit those marks. Read More
