Piano Lessons in Buffalo Creek, CO

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students in helping develop their love and appreciation for music. As a musician, I was initially self-taught and after a few years of self-instruction, I began taking lessons from a few different teachers. I recently completed my BS in Commercial Music. My favorite genres of music include jazz, classical, rock, and funk. For the past few years I have been performing regularly throughout the southeast in a rock band that focuses heavily on improvisation. Read More

I always explore different methods that might fit the age and personality of the student but for keyboard lessons I have found success with the Alfred Piano Method. Instrumental lessons usually follow the method book that is selected by their school band director. Beyond that I have a large library of supplementary music to expand the students interest with new styles and composers.I'm very flexible with the method books and after I get to know the student I can select a method that would work the best for instruction.

I took guitar with Michael Engberg there for two years and also took fundamentals of music, music business, music technology, and a song writing class.

I graduated from Metro in May 2014 with a Bachelors Degree in Classical Guitar Performance, and the experience thus far has been amazing. I love to teach and I love to learn about music as well as people who desire to be musicians. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I like to first assess what is the primary goal of the student and progress from there. Teaching methods that are too strict or too generic can often leave a lasting impression on a student (and not a good one!) Thus, I attempt to make all students feel comfortable and secure - with an understanding that mistakes are necessary to progress forward. Read More
