Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Electric Violin Fiddle

My teaching method will be largely based on what you want to accomplish as a musician. My students taking the classical route will become familiar with the Suzuki Method books. I like to supplement this with etudes, folk tunes, and something of personal interest to you (pop music, world music, video game, etc.) If you are more interested in a fiddle/bluegrass approach, I will start you on the O'Connor Method books for violin/viola.

My teaching style is for my students to succeed. Since I have an Administrators degree and have concentrated on many Healthcare/Science classes regarding disabilities, I can tailor my lessons to students who may be dyslexic or have ADHD. Some students are visual learners, where others respond more to sound. I also encourage students to develop their ears as this enables them early on to be able to recognize notes and to play without music. Read More

If a student comes in knowing absolutely nothing about music, I will start with teaching basic music theory. Extensive knowledge of music theory is not essential, but a basic grasp will make the learning process much smoother. From there - for stringed instruments - we'll move onto hand conditioning. Musicians use muscles that everyday people do not (also, playing guitar hurts until you fingers calluses). Then, we move onto chord shapes and eventually we'll learn full songs. Read More

I'm a musician working and living in the Atlanta area. The primary instrument that I studied in university is the trombone and i have a lot of love for the unconventional instrument. I've been able to play in tons of bands in the metro area that you wouldn't normally find a trombone in. I love the challenge of finding out how to fit my sound into a new group or genre. Read More

Essentially, I believe in methods for instrumental instruction. I have my favorites for each instrument I teach. A method is like a staircase with which the students are able to methodically progress in music and it is the fundamental for any particular style of music they would like to enjoy practicing and performing. Of course, additional material can also be added during the lessons according to the current level of the students and specific styles they would like to get acquainted with through their practice Read More

When I was growing up beginning piano lessons books were limited. I used the familiar John Thompson series that was quite good. I typically use the Alfred method, although I still like John Thompson, and I also like the Faber method. For adults, I like to use the Alfred books that are specifically for them. Some adults took piano lessons as children and want to take lessons again. I try to find out what he or she is interested in and go from there. Read More
