Music Lessons in Turrell, AR

Instruments: Piano

It was very clear these musicians benefitted from extra mentorship, private lessons and group practices things that the average public school music program cannot provide. Not everyone wants to be a doctor or lawyer. Some kids want to be professional musicians and make a living playing jazz, and I hope I can help them make their dreams become a reality. A big part of my job is to show students the steps they need to take to achieve their goals and use my personal experiences as an example. Read More

I like to teach and talk about the songs and styles that were taught to me by my father when I was just getting in to music and guitar. The first thing I remember learning were "Hey Joe" by Hendrix, which is actually simpler than most people would expect. The basic standards of guitar were taught to me when I was first learning, and that's what excites me to teach to the next generation of guitarists. Read More

I value musical literacy very highly and spend a great deal of time focusing on the fundamentals of reading music. I believe that if one can read the music and hear it in one’s head that anyone can play it. In addition to literacy I teach my students to establish a daily checklist of long tones and lip flexibility. I make my lessons engaging for everyone and am flexible to the students needs regardless of ability levels. Read More

For beginning students, I usually customize the material at the start so it can be more understandable. Some instructor's booklets can be confusing, so I just want to explain is as simply as possible and that may vary from student to student (everyone is different). For more advanced students (on bass and guitar), I use Chris Kemp's Journey to Planet Guitar. It contains everything a musician needs to know, presented in an innovative, easy way. Read More

Hi! I've had a love for music since I was very young. I started playing piano at eight years old, violin at eleven years old, guitar at around the age of seventeen, and have been singing ever since I could produce the sound, taking private vocal lessons in high school and college. I am classically trained in piano, violin, and voice, though I now play mostly Christian contemporary/worship, pop, country, and indie/singer-songwriter/folk music on all four of my instruments.

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who would love to work with students and share my love of music with them.

With my pop/rock band The Passport that I'm in, I have also opened for well known artists such as Hawthorne Heights and Shinedown. Read More
