Music Lessons in Nicholasville, KY

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I am about as laid back as you can be. Learning this instrument should be fun, since that is the level of commitment that most of us have. We lead busy lives as students, moms, dads, and caregivers. There is always something on the plate. I will make this fun, keep you interested, and make progress all at the same time. I will be teaching my student the components of the bass guitar, the components of songs, how they are written, how each instrument plays it's part in the construction of the song. Read More

My teaching experience includes student teaching in college, for a semester, and substitute teaching for 16 months. While I was in the Marine Corps I would give lessons to students from different high schools when going on recruiting tours. I am eager to teach students again in Kentucky, and want to serve the community as well. Read More

Instruments: Voice Music

My teaching experience dates back even before my college days, as I began teaching at the West Lousiville Performance Academy over ten years ago, and have been teaching student since that time either in a choir or private lessons. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Piano Voice

My approach is twofold: addressing the mind and addressing the body. I always have beginners learn how to stretch and release tension before they even sing, just like any athlete would. I have them develop a pre-singing routine including these stretches so they can both prepare themselves physically and mentally for every lesson and practice session. Then, I teach them basic warmups which help them build an awareness of their breath and where their body is in space. Read More

Instruments: Piano

Most of my students use Alfred's Piano Course. After just a few lessons, we add in additional books and songs to expose the student to as much music as possible. I believe that the more music a student is exposed to, the better a musician he or she becomes. With the exception of recital pieces, I rarely spend more than a few weeks on one song, but instead focus on guiding students to play a wide variety of music at their level. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience began at the age of 16 when a few parents at the church I was involved in music ministry at became interested in getting guitar lessons for their children, so I began teaching guitar basics after Wednesday night service. Opportunities opened up for me to teach in other church contexts, homeschool groups, and even for a few of my friends at the time, which helped define my social skills in teaching. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I have my BM and I am working on my Masters in Vocal music Education. My passion is to teach young and old of any experience level to overcome stage fright, to improve their voices, to practice, to give advice, and above all educate them in music theory, sight reading, and music history. I am adaptable to different learning types whether you are a kenestetic, an auditory, or a visual learner. Read More
