Instruments:
Since beginning piano lessons myself when I was seven, I have been sharing my love of music with everyone all around me. I've been teaching lessons formally for the two years since I left college, and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Working with new students is always such a humbling experience, because it challenges me as a teacher to approach old problems with a fresh perspective. No two students are identical, so neither should their education. If one student loves performance and another one likes ear training, I like to cater their lessons according to their strengths. As soon as possible, I like getting students prepared for recitals, either by learning solo repertoire or composing their own pieces to premier. I'm currently accepting new students of all ages.
Instruments:
I'm a patient and caring individual who believes in giving back to the community because the community has given me so much. I enjoy playing and teaching music more than anything. I've had the opportunity of learning from many great teachers in the state of North Carolina, and have had the privilege of being a part of groups such as the ECU Wind Ensemble, ECU Marching Pirates, ECU Trumpet Ensemble and several other quality groups.
Instruments:
I have loved music ever since I was three and picked up two fallen tree branches, pretending they were a violin. I want my students to have a good time and enjoy the lessons. All students learn at their own pace, and have different reasons for being excited about music and why they want to learn their instrument. I want to function as both a friend and mentor to my students.
Instruments:
My teaching experience goes back to high school. I began teaching private lessons on the piano at my home. I was also in a gospel choir and taught the voice parts to the members for a year. I enjoy helping students develop a love and passion for music. It is important to me that students enjoy all genres of music and feel confident in what they do.
Instruments:
For violin, I use the classical method of teaching, starting beginners in Wolfahrt's Easiest Elementary Method. Beginners also learn basic music theory (learning how to read music) and some ear training. I believe it is important that students have a sense of accomplishment, which is stimulated through playing solos that incorporate the various aspects of music that they have been learning. Since incorrect technique causes the student to become tense while playing, which leads to fatigue and possible muscle pain, it is vital that the student is taught correct technique (i.e. correct violin and bow hold). Therefore, I always include correct technique building as part of every lesson, helping every student to enjoy playing with freedom and confidence. For piano, I start beginners by teaching them correct piano posture and hand position. From the very first lesson, the student will be playing the piano (as opposed to learning out of a book for the first several lessons). I also teach the student rhythms, note reading, ear training, and solos. Additionally, I emphasize correct piano technique, which contributes to the student's success as a pianist and his love for playing the piano.

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.
