Music Lessons in Longwood, FL

Instruments: Flute Recorder Shakuhachi

It has a CD, with the band in the background , so it makes it fun for a practice session at home. I also learned "Brain Gym" from one of my flute teachers. I always like to incorporate that especially if the student has some confusion or is stuck on an area like a certain rhythmic phrase, or anything hard to unravel, as well as reading music. In addition, I like to use yellow clear gels over the music should the student have a little trouble with eye tracking or staying focused. Read More

I love to share with my students the marvels that are found in music, from the composers to their individual styles, to enjoying improvisation and multi-piano/hands arrangements. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola

My love of music grew as a child having a family supportive of music education. I see the participation in playing musical instruments as much of a fun activity as it is a physical and mental workout. After receiving my Associate in Science in Music I went straight into a studio and started teaching a range of students from 4 - 24 years old, and from the never-picked-up-an-instrument-before to I-can't-wait-for-the-competition levels. Teaching gives me joy because I am using my greatest talent and asset to strengthen the hearts and minds of people, young and old. Read More

Instruments: Cello

My teaching experience dates back to my college days. I received my first teaching certificate in 1991 and worked in a Professional Music school for many years. Throughout my professional career, I always had students who would come to my performances and have the privilege of learning and sitting next to me on a professional stage. I've found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the cello and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

As the student advances I choose books which will help them achieve the appropriate technique for the appropriate style they want to master. Read More
