Music Lessons in Lillington, NC

Instruments: Saxophone Music

For all students, there will be a focus on the fundamentals at the start. For intermediate to advanced players this is a period to both evaluate strengths/weaknesses and to establish expectations for the teacher-student partnership. For beginners this is the necessary first step on their journey as musicians. Once the student has a working grasp of the fundamentals, we will begin the work of putting together their first recital performance. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Ukulele

For the Clarinet, I typically use The Hendrickson Method book series with supplemental books on the side to enhance their various levels.  For flute and saxophone, I will evaluate based on the student's level. Once I have established a method book, I incorporate solos and additional techniques. I also encourage the students to bring music from their band class and/or other solos they may be working on for festivals, competitions, or auditions. Read More

Instruments: Piano

For beginner students, I start with the basics and like to teach from the Hal Leonard fundamentals books, but it also depends on the type of student.

Understandably, theory can get mundane, but I try to make learning fun and applicable so a lot of what I teach directly involves playing on the keys instead of writing things in books. Read More

The best feeling for me as a teacher is to see students progress and love what they are doing. Every student has to be approached differently and taught in a different manner so they can get the most out of each lesson. My teaching style is all about "slowly but surely". Grasping electronic composing may be a bit hard at the beginning for anyone, however anyone is capable of doing it if they put their mind and effort into it. Read More
