Music Lessons in Ocoee, FL

Instruments: Piano

I have been teaching piano since High School and have learned a lot since then; both in my personal studies and from my many students. Each student teaches me a new perspective on music and piano, inspiring me to further refine my craft as a teacher and player. My goal is not to make professional musicians out of my students, but rather to give them a skill they can carry and enjoy in a healthy way for the rest of their life. Read More

My goal is to develop and motivate my students. I keep a file on every student to monitor their progress. I plan on their future far in advance with repertoire that expands their knowledge of music.

Instruments: Trombone

Collaborative--I like to inspire students with the potential sound of this beautiful instrument--the trombone is unlike any other instrument, and the success or failure depends on the internal drive students are willing to apply. So keeping them motivated and inspired is the most important thing here, and I take that very seriously. I find that constantly hearing how it can and should sound is one of the best ways. I am uniquely able to expose them to not just recordings, but live, working examples of great trombone players. Read More
