Music Lessons in Park City, UT

Instruments: Piano

I'm currently attending school and majoring in both Piano Pedagogy and French Education. I love to play the piano and sharing my talents with other people. I have had many opportunities to perform in front of people. I love working with students and helping them to improve their musical abilities. My greatest achievements come from seeing the joy that piano can bring into students' lives. My goal every lesson is to get a smile from my students' faces. Read More

Instruments: Violin

I follow the Suzuki method for beginner students, with some additional instruction to learn to read sheet music for those with previous music experience or older students who are ready to begin reading music. After the student has completed the first several books of the Suzuki method, I include selections from Solos for Young Violinists and other solo pieces as appropriate to reinforce certain skills. Of course, when students show an interest in learning a particular piece, I am always happy to bring it into their repertoire. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am a seasoned guitarist and educator with over four decades of professional experience spanning performance, recording, and individualized instruction. My musical career includes more than 15 years as a working artist, writing, recording, and performing original, alternative music with A Western Front (Los Gatos) and Neo Geo (Sacramento). During this period, a music video produced with Neo Geo received regular airplay on MTV Basement Tapes. I have performed at many of California’s most respected original-music venues, including The Fillmore in San Francisco, Whisky a Go Go and Troubadour in Los Angeles, as well as the Whole Earth Festival at UC Davis.

Instruments: Bass Guitar

Who doesn't like to feel good about themselves? My experiences have shown me that students who achieve successes with their music feel that way. They are better people and they are better musicians. I have taught high school students who went from having no identity in the student body society to becoming proud of themselves, walking the halls with their heads held high and a smile on their faces. This, to me is the magic of music - and my focus as an Instructor. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I fell in love with teaching the piano during my freshman year of high school. That was 8 years ago, and I have been teaching consistently from my home studio and online ever since then. I have found that there is a fine balance to be struck between structure and curiosity in helping a student cultivate their love for music. I make a point to help my students create consistent practice schedules while allowing them space to play with and explore the piano. Read More

Instruments: Voice

It's important to me that students enjoy what they are singing--if they don't, they won't be motivated, are less likely to practice, and they won't progress as quickly. Still, I believe students should sing a variety of literature (and may even find something they didn't know they enjoyed), and regularly start beginning students with some simple Italian art songs. Students in my studio are exposed to art songs, folk songs, opera arias, and showtunes. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet Euphonium French Horn

I have been playing trumpet since the summer of 2006 and have been in love with the art form ever since. I am also an advocate for historic music performance practice and an avid avant-garde performer. I hold degrees from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts high school program and the Eastman School of Music. In addition to these degrees, I have received graduate level training from the Royal Academy of Music in London, UK and the Boston University College of Fine Arts in Boston, MA. Read More
