Music Lessons in North Metro, GA

Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium

I have a few method books that I like to use in my lessons. For brass students, I like the Rubank method books for beginners and the Arban book for advanced students. For young beginners on classical piano, I like "Music Tree," and the Faber "Piano Adventures" series, and for older kids I use the Bastien literature series. For more advanced students, I prefer to work on literature directly and address technical issues as they come up. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

With beginners, I always explore the very basics with them. This means we work on breathing and embrochure formation together. Along with this, we also learn the basics of reading music. From there on out, I use Breeze Easy Trumpet Method, Arban, Clarke, Irons, Bai Lin, Caruso, and Stamp to develop fundamental technique, based on what I think each student needs. With advanced students, I focus on interpretation and musicality, and developing a more induvidual approach to the horn. Read More

For all of my students, I find out what they are interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly. I typically start with the Piano Adventures series and my own compositions.

All of my students get a complete musical education by learning theory, performance, and music history. It's important that lessons are engaging and paced accordingly to maximize my student's enjoyment and keep their interest for our entire lesson. Read More

My philosophy about teaching music to a student is to be original and musical as possible in order that the foundation of pure music inspiration and creativity is attained. My number one goal is that the student is completely happy with what he or she is learning and I strive to keep learning fun and at their own pace. I encourage the guitar student to inspire themselves by writing their own melody and develop a harmony over that melody. Read More

I'm a passionate and detail-oriented instructor who strives to nourish a love and appreciation for music in my students! I have been playing piano for nearly 16 years, but teaching is a newfound passion of mine! I have been classically trained for more than 4 years, some of which I spent studying music theory and classical piano performance at University of North Georgia. I credit my very own piano teacher for instilling the passion and enthusiasm that has led me to become an established musician and songwriter. Read More

One of the key principles I emphasize is consistency—regular, focused practice is essential for growth and confidence. I also believe that learning should be enjoyable and inspiring, so I incorporate a blend of classical fundamentals with modern styles such as gospel, RB, and contemporary music to keep students engaged and motivated. If a student isn’t enjoying the process, then I know I need to adjust my approach. In addition to weekly lessons, I encourage my students to participate in recitals, showcases, and performance opportunities, as well as explore songwriting and original composition. Read More

My lessons are tailored to every individual client, company, organization, mission statement, etc. I customize all methods and teaching styles based on clients needs.

Most students love the fact that I can teach them based on competition material, upcoming auditions, theatre production show material, etc. Read More
