Music Lessons Jessamine County, KY

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trombone, Recorder, Euphonium, Music, Keyboard

For beginning students with instruments, I like to use the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements and piano, I like to use Alfred's Basic Piano Course Lesson Book and for voice I use FULL VOICE Workbook. I know each student is different and prepared to adjust in any way to meet the student's need. I like to start out the the fundamentals of hand placements, posture, how to sit or stand, what the notes are, etc. Read More

Instruments: Clarinet, Music

I personally believe in going as per the pace of the student. A progressive pace is important as well as a balance of not moving too quickly or too slowly for the students. Having fun learning music is also important to me. I like to encourage students to practice and I also implement ways to assist with making practice time more fun. The goal of music is for the student to enjoy what they are learning so that they will continue their lessons and look forward to lessons, not to feel high pressure and turn away from music altogether.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Recorder, Music, Keyboard

During my 14 years of music teaching experience, I have worked with students as a public school music teacher, a studio private lesson teacher for piano, voice, oboe, flute, clarinet and saxophone. I've started studio programs for music theory, group piano, preschool music and musical theater. I've worked with students of all ages and experience levels who have a wide range of musical goals. Because I have a background in Kodaly and Orff instructional methods as well as advanced knowledge of musical theory, composition, music history and recording arts, I incorporate these elements within my instruction as students learn a piece of music.

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: Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I love to see my students and friends have the courage to use their voice and express themselves. Music is a universal language and a gift that is meant to spread joy, love, and connection. Nothing is better than the feeling of being able to share that with other people. As your teacher I will be there to encourage and guide you along as you learn your instrument and voice at your own pace, because everyone is unique and on their own path. Read More
