Music Lessons Grady County, OK

Instruments: Voice, Music

I cater my methods to age, culture, and interests of students. This allows them to achieve success at their own pace. Assessing the students age, interests, needs, and culture will contribute to the creation of their lessons. I also find that knowing the students levels and vocal ranges can also be helpful in creating lessons for the students. It is also important to know a vast repertoire of musical styles so that one can create relatability with the students. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Synthesizer, Music, Keyboard

I have been teaching on and off since 2016. People would ask me for spontaneous lessons and I would meet them either in their home. Most of my lessons were on vocals or piano. During this time I would also teach trombone lessons after school. My lessons are always energetic and entertaining.
