Music Lessons in Papeton, CO

Instruments: Trumpet

I teach as a motivational coach. I only encourage and never discourage a student. I use a Hybrid, or blended style, following an integrated approach to teaching that blends the teacher’s personality and interests with students’ needs and curriculum-appropriate methods. While I practice all of the pedagogical techniques I learned in college, as a classroom veteran I examine and use differentiated instruction and new learning methodologies, consider that not all students respond well to one particular style Read More

As your piano teacher, I aim to provide a warm, supportive, and engaging learning environment with honest yet positive feedback to help students become confident and self-motivated. Listening, evaluating, and learning how to use those observations to improve the way we play are all skills that I encourage my students to use to become independent learners. Every student has a unique set of abilities and way of learning, which is something to be embraced. Read More

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Tuba

I love nothing more than being able to help my students develop and grow a passion for music! It is also important that each student progresses at their own pace. The great thing about one on one teaching is each of my students get individual time with me versus being in a band class with lots of other students. Private lessons allow me to pace each lesson based on each individual student and tailor each lesson based on what type of music a student might be interested in learning. Read More
