Piano Lessons in Goldenrod, FL

Instruments: Piano

Teaching has always been a joy to me and I enjoy having children experience the understanding and love of music It is my hope that the student enjoy what they are doing and learning  Should they not understand I try to find out what is difficult  Should I see that a student is not practicing that is a distinguishing factor I have worked with children with learning disabilities as well so I use various methods to attempt to have the child or adult grasp the concepts and be able to perform     Read More

I am an encouraging, nurturing, and motivating piano teacher. While I believe scales, chords, and arpeggios are practical exercises, I don't teach these ad nausea. Unless a student is preparing for an exam (ABRSM, RSM, or GUILD) these excercises as well as Czerny, and Hanon can be an advantageous starting point to getting warmed up but definitely not a means to an end. I would classify myself as a teacher that motivates and encourages through humor but I do expect my students to improve on a weekly basis and can tell if they practiced or not! Read More

For beginning piano students who are children I recommend and use Alfreds Basic Piano library. Alfreds Basic Piano library offers different book for different levels. And as well if the student wants to learn some particular song we do. For me is very important to set the right music foundation of understand and music theory before moving to the next level. For my flute students I use different books with classical and popular songs. Read More

I love for each student to leave their lesson excited about the music they create! I am an encouraging teacher, but I help my students set realistic goals (and stretch goals!) that keep them motivated to progress in their musicianship. How our lessons progress really depends on the student in question. If they would like to pursue competitions, I am well equipped to help. If they choose to develop their skills in a lower stakes environment without any competitions, that's also completely fine. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have my own method of teaching which has worked for every student I have had.  For piano, I begin teaching basic music theory and sight reading from the very first lesson. I typically use "Piano Adventures" method books as a baseline, but tailor the lessons to each student's needs.  For voice, I use a mix of karaoke tracks and light piano accompaniment to help the students learn to sing on their own.

My curriculum is created to fit your need. As I teach "music" and the instrument, I can provide printed material that will help you in your goal. I've authored a curriculum that teaches early music theory. Mozart was composing at the age of three. Not everyone will become a professional music or composer. My experience gives me the insight to offer the tools you need, for your music learning experience. Read More

In middle and high school, I performed on saxophone, bassoon, drum set, all percussion, and guitar every year. I performed jazz, classical, military, big band, and marching band music. Served as head of the drumline in high school and taught many musicians how to perform on the snare drum, multi-tenors, bass drums, and mallet percussion. In college, I got more busy with schoolwork :( but I had time to compose music on my own and join a local pop-punk band called Shout London. Read More
