Music Lessons in Wilmore, KY

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Music

My method of teaching is very detailed instruction. There are many books that tend to start with the assumption that you know something about music or that music is easy to just "pick up." I like to start from the students' most basic skill level and fill in all the gaps as they progress. This means that starting out might be a bit slow, but the learning curve for future lessons is shortened and students eventually end up further ahead than if they skipped around. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I am about as laid back as you can be. Learning this instrument should be fun, since that is the level of commitment that most of us have. We lead busy lives as students, moms, dads, and caregivers. There is always something on the plate. I will make this fun, keep you interested, and make progress all at the same time. I will be teaching my student the components of the bass guitar, the components of songs, how they are written, how each instrument plays it's part in the construction of the song. Read More

I believe students will perform how teachers educate them, and I also believe in developing ones own style. Students need to understand how to get to a certain level due to practice and patience. Discipline and a positive mindset will help achieve goals. I believe advising students on how to focus and practice is the key to potential. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I teach in the bel canto style as I was taught, focusing on developing a greater capacity for breath control, relaxation of the tongue and jaw, good posture, and freedom of movement. However, I tailor every lesson to the student's needs and focus on addressing the vocal issues they face on a given day and in general. I develop a plan for the student each week, like learning a section of a piece or working on diction in a specific verse, but adapt this plan depending on how the student feels that day and what their input is.

My teaching style is completely student oriented. Every student will be taught differently because they all have different needs. I make sure that each student has at least one goal for each lesson and I make sure to acknowledge their accomplishments. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students accomplish their singing goals! Read More
