Piano Lessons in Watkins, CO

Instruments: Piano

My teaching style is dependent on the particular student. For all students, I work to not over assign pieces. There is so much to learn in music, it can be tempting to try to teach concepts too quickly. However, an organized, logical approach that introduces one concept at a time works best. The best music theory teacher I have had was organized and was able to stick to teaching one concept at a time, with sequential lessons building on the information from the previous lesson.

I have sung with Charlotte Opera, Jacksonville Opera and the Lakewood Chorale as soprano soloist. Read More

Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion

I take a very individual approach to my teaching plans- each student has their own attention spans, goals, interests and abilities! When I was first learning piano, I was frustrated by the music choices my teacher was picking for me and this usually made me not in the mood to practice. Over the years I've collected, written and purchased various pieces and exercises for both piano and percussion that allow me to create custom lessons for my students. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin

For beginning students on violin we start with many techniques found in the Suzuki method. From there, we jump into different styles of music while still focusing on developing solid technical foundations for the student. Once we move into standard repertoire the lessons begin to change based on what the student needs. I am a firm believer in consistent practice. I would much rather have a student who practices daily for 15 minutes then a student who does not practice except for the day before their lesson for two hours. Read More

I am a very passionate music teacher, it's really who I am. I thrive off of opening the doors of music to people new to playing an instrument and teaching them a foundation upon which to grow. I graduated from UMASS Lowell with a Bachelors in Music Performancein 2014 and have 9 years of teaching experience in and around the Boston area. I play and manage a band called Skyfoot and have for about 6 years now. Read More

Instruments: Piano

As I experienced different teachers, I learned that I do my best when I enjoy my lesson. To make this happen, it's the teacher's job to make the lesson more fun and comfortable for students. Since I was not always the best student for my teachers (I know, I know... I used to hate doing practices on pieces I didn't like!), I know how students think and am more than willing to understand their perspective. Read More
