Music Lessons in Stamping Ground, KY

Instruments: Voice

I began teaching and leading students in high school when I was a camp counselor at a program called Dallas Young Artists. DYA focused mainly on musical theater and it was a joy to the smiling faces of the young campers learning how to sing and about musical theater in general. Dyring my years LSU, I had many friends who would come to me for help when they were having problems with their singing. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I am not a passive bystander at lessons; I jump right into the music and guide students on how to best read and play each song. A theory-centered approach to piano is very important. When your child takes lessons, he or she won't merely learn how to play piano, but how to understand and love all music. Every child is capable of learning how to play piano and of being proud of what they have accomplished. Read More

As an instructor, I know that the ability to convey the practicalities of a given subject matter to the student with great clarity and care is essential in their comprehending and appreciating the learning experience. My job as an instructor is to facilitate impeccably the curriculum along with providing the answers to the students question of how a subject matter relates to them as a student. For me, to teach is to enhance the human experience of the student via comprehensive discourse in class, and projects and tests constructed around critical thinking and great practice habits.

Instruments: Piano Voice

We begin to work on the voice that way, and then graduate to vocal exercises from the Vaccai exercise book and simple vocal pieces such as folk songs or one of the 24 Italian Arias.

My teaching style is very organic and personal. Because I feel music is more of an expression before it is a discipline, I am a strong believer in giving tools of discipline as they are needed, rather than forcing a student into a rigor just because it worked for a different student with a different personality. We are all so very unique in our expressions as human musicians that even the same note on the same instrument played by different fingers can change the tone and resonance of the note. Read More

For beginning students I select special lessons. I am careful to choose the appropriate music for each age. if there is a child, for me is very important the relationship with the parents, because they know a lot of goals from the child. For adults the communication is the fundamental thing, each have own aspirations. The topic for teach my students will be my passion. The limits and barriers to learning, will have for each case solutions, taking care of the aspirations and needs of each person. Read More

In my experience, this can be very encouraging and inspirational for students, especially when they've been frustrated with their progress or are worried because they don't believe they can play at the level they want. Over the past 4 years of teaching students, I believe my greatest strength is inspiring students to be the best they can, and learning to disregard what others may think, because music is all about your enjoyment!
