Music Lessons in Rosedale, CO

Instruments: Piano Violin

For beginning students on violin we start with many techniques found in the Suzuki method. From there, we jump into different styles of music while still focusing on developing solid technical foundations for the student. Once we move into standard repertoire the lessons begin to change based on what the student needs. I am a firm believer in consistent practice. I would much rather have a student who practices daily for 15 minutes then a student who does not practice except for the day before their lesson for two hours. Read More

I am a guitarist and instructor who believes that everyone has the ability to play music and to be a part of such a joyful experience. I have been playing guitar for 15 years, and in 2015, I graduated from Metropolitan State University with a Bachelor of Music degree in Guitar Performance. I have had the opportunity to participate in master classes with world class guitarists such as Roland Dyens, Ricardo Iznaola, and Martha Masters, which gave me profound insight and understanding of the guitar.

In 2015-2016 I worked at Archimedean Middle Conservatory in Miami, FL teaching 6-8th grade general music. All students learned drum rudiments and call and response techniques. I also ran an after-school drum program where students learned more complex rudiments, rhythms, and how to play as a group. From 2013-2015 I taught at Keys Gate School where I ran a similar after-school drum program. From 2004 to now I have taught private drum lessons. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

Greetings! Learning music is not always easy, but it certainly is a rewarding experience for those who push through in understanding how to play. Music wasn’t always easy for me but it slowly became my passion, and it all started in 2005 when I joined the elementary school orchestra and got guitar lessons from my father on the side. I wanted to play music like some of my favorite musicians at the time — like John Lennon, Chuck Berry and Beck. Read More
