Music Lessons Williamson County, TN

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Harp, Music, Keyboard

If students are beginners, I generally use the Alfred Lesson books which are made for children and adults. These include theory books which I love to teach! Knowing the music theory behind what you're playing is so important and helps the music make much more sense. As a student progresses, I like to have them choose a piece out of selected repertoire so that they may have a say in what they're learning, and so that they will enjoy it all the more. Read More

For young beginners pianists I emphasize the basic posture and approach and finger position through 5 finger exercises then use Piano Adventures by Faber and Faber and challenging them to memorize as many little tunes as they can. A similar approach works for winds in memorizing favorite melodies and learning scales and arpeggios and long tones and we incorporate music theory with an elementary method and duets/improvisation of material. No matter what level I set reasonable goals for each month and help them invest in the world of music by daily listening and playing on their chosen instrument. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace.
