Music Lessons Woodford County, KY

Instruments: Flute, Piccolo, Music

I've always believed that everyone has their own unique learning style, and everyone learns differently and at different paces than everyone else. I like to have a more relaxed style to my teaching, to help keep my students at ease. I also like to make sure to acknowledge the accomplishment and progress students have made, as sometimes learning music can make you feel like you're not making any progress or moving very fast.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Recorder, Music, Keyboard

For beginning piano students, I typically begin with the Piano Adventures series lesson books, adding integrated theory, composition and musical history with instructional activities. Depending on the student, once they complete the initial book, I begin to incorporate basic improvisation strategies and duet playing to develop their knowledge of theory as well as their aural skills. For adult beginners, I typically begin with Alfred's Adult All in One Course because I find it is the most flexible for adult learning styles. Read More

I began teaching percussion immediately after high school. While attending EKU, I helped my former high school by teaching the percussion section during the marching band season. I taught the section every year for about 12 years before being hired as a full-time teacher and becoming the assistant director of the band. I still mainly focus on the percussion section every year, but my responsibilities have spread to assisting with other sections of the band as well. Read More
