Music Lessons Oakland County, MI

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, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

When I start out with a new student I like to see what kind of learning works best for them. Are they a visual, audio or tactical learner? from there I modify each lesson for each individual student. I make sure my lessons are a very positive experience with no criticism. I teach with charts, tablature and standard notation. My primary method of teaching is to have my students study from my own books, in addition to publications by Mel Bay and Hal Leonard. Read More

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

During the first few lessons, I should be able to understand what level of playing capability the student is at. After the first lesson, I would introduce an adaptable routine of how to maintain healthy habits for retention, select various works from etude and methods books, and collaborate on choosing a solo that would follow along with their current level of playing. In between the lesson, I would run a series of Stretching, Breathing, Alignment, and working on building the most healthy foundation they need to get through each lesson. Read More
