Piano Lessons in Milton, TN

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Synthesizer Keyboard

For beginner students, we start off using the beginning books from "Piano Adventures" by Faber Faber, and published by Hal Leonard. They learn to read music, improvise, music theory, and play all style of music. A typical lesson for an elementary school student would be 10 min of playing assigned pieces that they've practiced for the week, 10 min of new songs for the next week, 5 min of music theory, and 5 min of some sort of musical game.

My goal is to get people up and running as quickly as possible, playing music they want to play. Practice is needed and my hope always is to get students to want to practice, not because they have to practice. I always use the term "rehearse", as we musicians don't like to practice but we are alway's rehearsing. If I can inspire a student, then their goal of being successful is very attainable. Read More

I have been teaching over the last 4.5 years, either in my home, traveling, or online, and as well as for a jazz academy. Teaching has shown me that I can inspire my students to enjoy what they are learning, even if it gets hard. It is all worth the practice! I love to see my students succeed and want them to desire to continue play music. I also want to see them having fun during their lessons and be able to motivate them to have fun even while practicing at home. Read More

I taught from (1997-2015) I averaged 30 to 35 students a week. In 2015 I moved to NashvilleTN, I taught online with a few students but wanting to expand teaching in Nashville I've reached out to Musika to help. I've truly enjoyed teaching students of all levels from young to old and seeing their progress in learning the piano. I try to make it fun and progressive along the way. I've learned alot from teaching piano to so many people with diverse backgrounds and ages through the years. Read More

I strongly believe that a student make a commitment to practice - just like in marching band, studying for a class, studying for a play, etc. Without regularly practicing at least 5 days each week, the student will not make the improvements that they want. Finally, I like using intrinsic and extrinsic rewards to say well done. So candy, certificates, awards, and even that annual recital can all be expected. I like to bring other instruments in so we can practice playing as a small ensemble. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! I find it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

My performance experience started at a very young age and consisted of entertaining myself in front of the mirror (at age 2), and creating shows for family. I started doing musicals and concerts at church around age 4 and entered community theatre around age 6. My enthusiasm for the performing arts continued to grow throughout childhood, and my teenage years. I started private Voice lessons at age 16 and studied Musical Theatre at Kent State University for the first two years of college. Read More
