Music Lessons in Parker, CO

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele

My methods change for each student, depending on ability and interest. For the most part I start with warm up exercises to get your fingers moving properly, then have a balance of going through instruction books and jamming and/or improvising in different styles, and slowly progress you and help with techniques to make you sound as clean as possible. I will help you be able to play whatever genre, or songs you like. Read More

Instruments: Flute

My "teaching style" has evolved over the many years that I have been working with flute students. I am very relaxed. I want you to look forward to and have a good time in our lessons! In that way I know you are enjoying your music. I observe and listen to understand the complete child/young adult before me. I expect regular practice on lesson material, but I also understand the occasional week when other aspects of your life have interfered. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am somewhat lenient with my teaching style. I always give every student work to practice and improve upon for their next lesson. However, I am a firm believer that keeping a student's interest in music is best accomplished by allowing them to move at their own pace. I always want my students to be inspired and productive, and I also believe that a student should never feel forced into practicing their craft. Read More

Instruments: Piano

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: Accordion

I began teaching my neighbor's kids when I was 12 years old. I taught until I was sixteen, which is when I began -playing club dates and weddings. I taught mostly classical, polkas, and european songs. I became a better musician when I played professionally, I had to amass my own 'fake book' and write some of my own music. My experience with my teacher, Chelso, taught me how to teach more complex music with relatively easy drills. Read More
