For young beginner students, I will begin with the Farber or Alfred all-in-one books. Once the student has progressed through the book, we will move on international piano books. I have used many of the pedagogy books, and I know how to find best curriculum for getting students to where they need to be technically and musically. Most of my youngest students will play a few of the pieces from Alfred book. Read More

Thank you for your interest in my teaching! I am a guitarist from Eastern Kentucky who currently resides in Cincinnati. As an artist, I believe in working to broaden the cultural horizon of this instrument through the arrangement and performance of works from around the world. I take an approach to teaching that uses music literacy training to help students effectively pursue their individual musical interests. It’s wonderful to see students continually develop the ability to ask progressively more interesting questions. Read More

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

For beginning students, I like to work out of the Rubank Elementary Method book. We further move on to the Intermediate and Advanced methods while also adding solo repertoire that is suitable to their skill level. Along with these method books, we will also work on music that they personally enjoy. Disney music and easy Gershwin pieces are good staples for a beginning student along with their traditional method books. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I talk with my students (and their parents, if applicable) about their previous musical experience and their expectations and goals in taking lessons.Everyone learns differently and at a different pace, and everyone has unique strengths. I use my students' natural strengths to help them understand the aspects of music that come less naturally to them. Lessons are balanced with technical exercises (scales and arpeggios), music theory (reading music, chord types and progressions,) and learning and performing pieces of music. Read More

The majority of my teaching experience has been in the realm of sports and physical education, however, I have a deep love for music and it brings me joy to share my gifts with others. Read More

Instruments: Cello

For my teaching style, I have a very organic approach. The main goal as a teacher is to develop a passion for the instrument and the music. This is crucial for seeing any development at a decent pace in any student. What happens otherwise is that the student does not want to practice, or practicing without focus. If a student is passionate about the music and their instrument, then they will want to practice, and will teach themselves. Read More
