Instruments:
I create an environment for my students that is stress free and is open for creative minds to express to me how they want to go about learning music. I take those ideas and use them to create an objective lesson plan of which we can build upon together for a fun, informative, and memorable experience in learning about music and their instrument. I have always enjoyed that fact that I made a contribution to people's lives by having them involved with music. I understand the type of impact music can have on an individual and I am always more than pleased to enlighten someone about this impact.
Instruments:
Beginner students of any age will be playing music with the band during the first lesson! Although my curriculum is deep-seated in good technique, I believe it is important for students to develop fluidity and expressiveness from the very beginning. I am an accomplished keyboard player and utilize this skill to accompany my drum set students while they play grooves and lesson exercises so they can understand how it all "goes together". Piano students will also learn basic rhythm comping skills and learn what it's like to play in a rhythm section while I accompany them on drum set. I have my lesson booklet available for purchase in which each student can design their own curriculum to meet their goals. I also recommend additional books for each student as they develop more specific interests and needs. Piano/keyboard students will learn all scales/ chord progressions, soloing ideas and work out of a fake book. If the student desires to stick to classical or is just beginning, we will choose a lesson program that best suits their needs.
Instruments:
I have over 13 years of experience playing the guitar: over 5 years of guitar lessons taken from credible music teaching establishments, and 10 years of playing and organizing live performances. I have taught anyone who is willing to learn how to play the guitar after my first legitimate guitar lesson. It was then I discovered my love for spreading my knowledge and skills for arguably most sacred and universal language, MUSIC! I believe in myself and my abilities and am determined to instill this into every one of my guitar students. My guitar students want to practice; my love for music is contagious and borderline quirky. My favorite guitar teacher and mentor, Richard Young Jr. was no different; he was such an inspiration I almost needed him to see me succeed. I felt pretty lousy if I didn't practice. I practiced and felt better. So I kept doing it. I am a mentor and role model to most of my students as most of them are young, whether I know it, want to be, or don't. My students, parents, their homes, and privacy are treated with the utmost respect, honor, integrity, and honesty.
Instruments:
For beginner kids, I typically use the Liela Fletcher Lesson Book series. I find that my students usually progress faster with this series. For teens and adult beginners, I use the James Bastien "Older Beginner Series or John Thompson series to get them started. After basic fundamentals have been I established then I direct the lessons in the area of the student's interest. Sometimes I am able to do this while the student is learning the fundamentals.
Instruments:
For children and beginning studetns, I will typically start in a level one method book. This allows us to get acquainted with the instrument and some terminology that may be a bit foriegn for some students. This also provides an opportunity to learn how to read basic notes and chords which will highly accelerate our learning process. For those with experience and established musical interests, I will form a plan and practice schedule based around the interest and concepts that the student seeks from their musical quest. Regardless of skill level, my main goal is for the student to have fun and see progress!
