Music Lessons Greensboro County, NC

Instruments: Voice, Trumpet, Saxophone, Clarinet, French Horn, Music

I am a firm believer in appropriate fundamentals are the key to stronger and healthier playing skills. In my lessons, I will encourage many types of fundamentals to round-out students playing abilities at the level which is most appropriate at the time. I work by the "Not good, Not bad, But better" philosophy. I will always focus on what the student needs and the best way for me to streamline their learning to achieve their playing objectives.

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My love of teaching is such that every time I am able to work with a student who genuinely wants to learn and has in themselves chosen to engage in the forms of music, I am transported to the position of student and learner as well. The fundamental forms in music are not something to be passed and discarded but forms that can be returned to at different times in your life and reveal more to the learner each time. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music, Keyboard

I have taught private voice/piano lessons for the 5 years. I have experience teaching students from ages 10-65. When teaching any student at any level, I begin with fundamentals in order to better assess their skill level. As other techniques are introduced, I continue to reinforce the fundamentals. I encourage my students to practice every day and help them to set goals for their practice sessions throughout the week. My students are encouraged to bring music they enjoy singing and playing to their lesson. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Recorder, Piccolo, Mallet Percussion, Music, Keyboard

I believe that music students are not "one size fits all", so I create an individual approach catered to each student's strengths, weaknesses, and interests. For beginners, I typically start with the very basics such as putting the instrument together(if applicable), posture/form, and fingerings. Then, I will cater my teaching materials to the student and their situation, which sometimes means the majority of their work is print materials. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Banjo, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Djembe, Acoustic Guitar

If I notice a student has a peculiar method of approaching the fundamentals, but it isn't leading the down a bad path, I will help facilitate their unique approach while guiding them toward mastery of the concept. I feel the single most important thing about teaching music is to nurture the love of music that will sustain the student through the intermittent struggles with learning, rather than try to force a student down a "traditional" path.
