Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I have about 3 years of private lesson teaching experience. I offer guitar, piano, and voice lessons. I believe that have a good foundation on any instrument can help with progressing in any music style. I enjoy teaching all ages and am used to adapting lessons for any age and level. Music can be beneficial for anyone, not just musicians. I always format my lessons around the particular students interest. I take teaching seriously and am very reliable. Read More

Teaching has always been apart of my career whether on the bandstand, the studio or in the classroom. When i graduated from Grambling State in 2013, i was hired as band director at MLK Jr High School in Ouachita Parish as well as two feeder elementary schools. I've learned that relating to the kids own musical experiences will help me expose them to detailed principles that they experience every time they listen to their favorite songs or watching their favorite movies.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Though I have been teaching for over two decade years, I am far from feeling like a burn-out. In fact, the more I teach, the more intrigued I become with the learning process, and I am constantly re-tooling my approach in order to help my students learn more effectively. I LOVE teaching, and I have chosen to teach privately because I enjoy the one-to-one interactions with my students. I can actually get to know each of my students, and I use my knowledge of each new student's goals, temperament, age and learning style to tailor each lesson. Read More

I've seen the face of an 80 year old grasping the ukulele and finally getting to hear himself playing his own songs, and seeing the glow in his eyes like a child. When you set realistic goals and set what steps are going to get you there, all the while celebrating each little victory, every lesson depends on the needs of my student. I am currently teaching solely for the fun of it and the challenge in it, as it is not my main career or main project, but it is something I get a lot from, and I have found over the years, has helped a ton of people get back into picking up their instrument, and cutting out the world for a bit.

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Keyboard
For beginning students, I vary my teaching methods quite a bit. I often take on students in households that already have method books purchased, and I have never had an issue with using them. At times, more books are needed, but I will allow the student to utilize these already-owned options, as I myself will supplement extra music. Students will often mentally understand what they need to do, but the necessary motor skills take time and repetition to achieve their goals. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own place. I encourage this by setting goals and assignments for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's 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
Instruments: Piano Guitar
Teaching is something I naturally love doing, simply because I see it as an opportunity to share my interest and passion for a particular subject with someone, so that they may develop the same fondness for that subject. I believe the most important role of a teacher is to spark passion and curiosity in his student, hence my goal is to successfully demonstrate to my students why music is so amazing!I have about a year of teaching experience, tutoring high school students.I also have been teaching piano to my roommates and friends during my college, and have successfully hooked many of them to music.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The most important things to remember about practicing are consistency and joy. I treat my instruments like pets, in that they are a part of my life every day and I love them, and the more attention I give them the more they will love me in return. I focus on starting a practice session with something I enjoy and am motivated to learn and then zero in on the weak points of the piece and from that decide what mechanical things I need to practice, like scales or bowing or picking exercise or drum rudiments. My rule of thumb is that 10 min per day of practice means you are not getting worse, and 30 min or more is where you start improving. I also give myself the freedom to jump between different pieces of music as I get tired of one. It's important to enjoy the process of practicing and improving.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on what results you are looking for, and I would say about two weeks of practicing 30 minutes a day is when you will start to see the beginning results. There are good videos on youtube showing the progress you make with consistent practice but ideally, the process will be enjoyable enough that you will understand how each day and each minute of practicing is causing you to improve. At this point, I see results about 10 minutes after I dedicate myself to practicing a single specific thing. Difficult pieces take about two weeks of consistent practice to play well, and it is very rare that you hit the ceiling of how well you can play something. Jaco Pastorius, a famous electric bassist, said that it took him 9 years to learn how to play Donna Lee, a jazz standard that he is very well known for now
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Basically, if the child is interested in lessons they are ready to start lessons. I think we often make the mistake of expecting children to be very disciplined along the lines we want them to be, instead of letting their natural curiosity and playfulness lead their musical journey. I try not to be too hard on kids and make sure we are setting goals they actually want to complete. I was forced to play for many years and very nearly stopped because of it. If a child has a natural affinity for an instrument, I think they can always benefit from instruction, and the stronger their desire to play is, the more progress they will make.
