Music Lessons in Olustee, FL

Instruments: Piano Voice Recorder Music Keyboard

For beginner piano students, I have two methods books that I use. For young children, I use the Bastion Piano Basics series. It is colorful, fun, and exciting for young learners. It is also very informative, so parents can help their young ones practice if they need the help! For beginning adult students, I use the Faber Adult Piano Adventures series, as this is more tailored to older students. It is less focused on colorful visuals, and uses language geared toward older learners. Read More

I will typically alter my lesson plans according to each student's needs and goals. I love using method books and even beginning band books. For true beginners, it is so important to develop a strong foundation for breathing, posture, embouchure, and finger position. For example, to help practice deep breathing, I have my students lay down on the ground with a book on their stomach. Then, I will ask them to breath while trying to move the book up and down.

I had many students who were mostly children. I discovered that I had a talent and passion for teaching the instrument. What sets me apart from most teachers is the emphasis I put on practicing with music in mind. I try to relate everything I teach back to how it can be applied musically in a way that excites the student. I love seeing students be able to play their favorite songs and become motivated about the drums. Read More

First in a lesson, I will go over what the student already knows, and what they have been practicing, as well as what they would like to practice. The student might not know what there is to practice or learn, so I'll give them materials and the tools to be able to get better with practice. I understand that not everyone will find playing a new instrument natural, and that's okay. Read More
