Music Lessons in Proctor, AR

Instruments: Trombone Ukulele Euphonium Tuba Music

I love the feeling of seeing my students achieve personal growth. I genuinely take the time to encourage each student to develop at their own pace, with focused guidance toward challenging yet realistic goals. Each lesson builds upon previous ones while continuing to address fundamentals and music reading. I like to work in a spiral curriculum where concepts repeat and grow towards higher levels of achievement. I feel that each student's wants and needs should be their primary learning achievements.

As the son of two teachers, I've seen first-hand how important great teaching can be in a young student's life. My first formal teaching experience came while working at Camp Laney--a summer camp for boys--during college. While there, I had the pleasure of working with students of varying ages and experience levels in guitar, voice, and even songwriting. I've also been a guest lecturer at Lausanne Collegiate School's occasional creative workshops. Read More

For example, Monday the student will be introduce to a new piece of music. As they look at the music they may feel that it is impossible to learned the by the end of the week. But I explain to them that when a person grow they don't physically see themselves growing overtime it just happens. One has to sleep, eat, etc before the body grows. Same in music one has to practice daily (everyday) before you see results. Read More

My teaching style is fairly relaxed, a student needs to enjoy the lessons or we are really wasting our time. There is no reason for music lessons to be dreary, almost all of my students enjoy their lessons and have no problem coming back week after week to be challenged again. For advanced students I really want to focus on the music you really want to play. If its your dream to play light classics for friends and family, then we will work on that. Read More

The first priority for me is to dully understand what each student and parent wants from the desire for private instruction. My teaching methods are tailored to each student's indidvidual needs and expectaions for the duration of lessons. I don't have a specific method book set, for I use multiple sources thoughout the teaching experience. Most of my students are middle and high school students. In that case, I work with them on whatever they may be playing in their respective school band programs. Read More
