Instruments:
George has been a church organist and director for 46 years. He is currently the assistant organist/accompanist at St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Naperville, Illinois where he works with Matthew Sprinkle who is the director of sacred music. Mr. Felty is also set up at the church to teach private piano students in the Naperville, Wheaton, and western suburbs of Chicago. In 2011, Mr. Felty graduated from Concordia University, River Forest, Illinois with a Master of Church Music Degree where his major instrument was organ. Dr. Steven Wente was his former teacher. Prior to starting at St. Peter and Paul Catholic, he was the former organist and assistant director at First United Methodist Church in La Grange, Illinois where he worked with Gary Wilhelm. In addition to the Master of Church Music Degree, he also holds a Master of Music Degree in organ performance from Norfolk State University in Virginia where he studied with Dr. Allen Shaffer, retired professor of music.
Instruments:
I have been teaching music since 2000, and piano and composition full time since 2008.
Instruments:
For young beginners in both voice and piano, I typically begin with literature from the Hal Leonard company. Once the student has progressed in their technique, I will introduce repertoire that requires more work and/or incorporates different styles. For adults, I try to find out what the student is most interested in, and guide my instruction to keep lessons engaging and positive, regardless of ability.
Instruments:
I started teaching private students 12 years ago when I was a senior in high school. My experience comes largely from the time I spent teaching at Imperial School of Music in Geneva, IL.
Instruments:
I began teaching in high school with middle school percussion ensembles, drum lines, and several private students. In college when I wasnt studying, performing or rehearsing, I was teaching and being taught. I taught privately in my home studio as well as several lesson studios in and around the North Texas area for 4 years before moving to Chicago where I've continued to teach and perform full time. I encourage a regular practice routine as well as regualr lesson attendance especially when it comes to younger students. I find that establishing a strong technical foundation makes further progress much easier and fluid. I also encourage as much performing as the student is capeable of. Performing in front of a live audience, while uncomfortable at first is the best method for establishing confidnece and ridding the student of performance anxiety.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
