Music Lessons in Macclenny, FL

Instruments: Piano

For younger children, my methods involve using the Alfred series as the staple of the course, but I also incorporate games and some other things into the lesson to make it fun. For intermediate and Advanced students, it is a completely customized lesson plan to the individual so I can't really say what direction we take before I have had the chance to sit down and analyze their individual needs.

In my experience, the love to play outweighs the need to learn. If you're not having fun you'll quit. Plain and simple. I've actually never charged anyone for lessons. In college, anytime someone close asked for lessons I was excited because I just wanted to share my passion with others. Over the years I've been mainly focused on learning, writing, and putting together successful projects. Along the way I've taught neighbors, friends and family, kids, bandmates and soon, my daughter.

I look for abilities and goals of my students and I foster them to achieve those goals. I also work hard to find methods that work for individual students. What I have found over thee years is that each student has different needs when approaching playing an instrument and so I look to identify those and work with the student's strengths. I also try and find creative ways to help students overcome various issues, such as developing range or learning to feel a steady sense of beat. Read More

Nothing is more important for me than seeing a student succeed! I am a firm believer in giving a student plenty of praise and encouragement for all their hard work. I think it is important to give credit where credit is due, and I definitely will not hold back any positive feedback when they have accomplished something new. I am sure there will be mistakes, but I do not think we should dwell on them. Read More
