Music Lessons in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Recorder Mallet Percussion

I create lesson plans for students based off of their passions. If a younger child has never read music before, success is usually found in working with music that they are interested in. If a student is beginning to study improvisation a similar approach is used with styles of soloists that they are very familiar with. Learning must be fun and it must improve ones understanding of the subject at the same time if it is to be rewarding. Read More

My teaching style is, mastery. Learning a musical instrument is a physical, mental, emotional skill which can be learned by anybody. The better technique you have, the easier making music will be and the more enjoyable! I combine structured technique exercises with “Fun music”, whatever that may be for each individual student. For students in school, school music always comes first. The first thing that we talk about in lessons is student goals. Read More
