Music Lessons Macomb County, MI

Instruments: Piano, Organ, Music

I believe that every child is born with music talent. You can notice that a child can dance or response to the music you played naturally. Thats all because they are born to be a musician, therefore we should put the utmost effort into educating them. And I believe that the earlier they receive the music education, the better music foundation they will have. Therefore, I hope to create a great music learning experience and offer quality education for my young students. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin, Flute, Drums, Ukulele, Recorder, Piccolo, Music, Keyboard

For beginning students, I typically start with a Sound Before Symbol Method. That is, we learn to get to know the instrument before adding sheet music and theory. Every student's learning track is individualized- So if you want to learn pop music, I will arrange that for the flute! If classical is what you are interested in, I will bring in the Bach Partitas. Music theory and instrumental music can be taught using any genre, so let's make it what you want to play! Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

I have strived for my teaching style to be the most inclusive, accessible, and overall enjoyable experience. That is the way I was taught from previous instructors and I plan to utilize some of the beneficial resources they have shared with me over the years. I want all of my students to realize how powerful the world of music is and the large sense of community that comes along with it. Read More

Instruments: Drums, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Conga, Latin Percussion, Music, Djembe

I like to take a global approach to teaching percussion. The things that can be learned by playing on a pad with drumsticks can be transferred to other instruments such as Marimba, Timpani, and Multiple-Percussion. I find it essential to teach students good fundamentals in order for them to progress without having to fix bas habits. I also like to curb my lessons to fit what each student needs. When planning my lessons, I like to assess the student and build their weaknesses up first, while praising them for their strengths and taking them to the next level. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Trumpet, Trombone, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Euphonium, Tuba, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I started teaching guitar at about 16, and have always maintained a studio of at least a couple students. I also offered assistance in the local band classes in order to improve my chops on my alternate instruments. I've played with several local bands, played musicals for local and regional theater groups, and was the house band leader for the Williamsburg Dinner Theater for 4 years. By my best estimation, I have played well over 1000 shows (probably closer to 1200), and that number continues to grow as I develop my band, the Darrell Boger Band. Read More
