Music Lessons in Powder Springs, GA

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

My teaching style is for my students to succeed. Since I have an Administrators degree and have concentrated on many Healthcare/Science classes regarding disabilities, I can tailor my lessons to students who may be dyslexic or have ADHD. Some students are visual learners, where others respond more to sound. I also encourage students to develop their ears as this enables them early on to be able to recognize notes and to play without music. Read More

I am a passionate musician. In fact, I come from a family full of talented musicians and educators. The most influential on me is my father. He  is the head of the Instrumental department at Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington DC. He pretty much sparked the idea of education in music for me. I have a degree in Jazz Studies from Howard University. Howard created the same vocal jazz program that was highlighted on NBC's competition the Sing-off. Read More

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Recorder

I put a lot of energy into my teaching!  Providing positive feedback and encouragement is most important.  Also, giving students practical ways to improve their playing and meet their perfomance goals is crucial.  One of the great benefits for a young person learning a musical instrument in the experience of challening and overcoming their percieved limitations.  I feel it is my job to guide my students on this adventure. Because of my many years of experience teaching PK-6 general music, I am able to adapt my style to every age group & ability level. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba

I've been teaching lessons since I was in high school and younger students would ask for me for help with their playing. I love sharing my knowledge of music with others as it's something that has brought me a lot of joy in my life. One of the most important points I like to emphasize in my lessons is the importance of making a conscious effort to let go of the fear, anxiety, and physical tension that comes up naturally when most students have to play their instrument.

My teaching experience starts 6 years ago when I started teaching marching band in Douglasville, Ga. I marched baritone with Spirit of Atlanta in 2013 and 2014. As time progressed, I started to teach music with local schools through Georgia State University and private connections as either a section coach or a private instructor. My private studio, with brass students, has been running for about two years now. I strive to place the student's interests first through my teaching while also covering the basics of what needs to be learned. Read More

It helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. Read More
