Piano Lessons Butler County, KS

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, Saxophone, Flute, Piccolo

Because all students have a unique style of mearning, at any age, I usually choose music that fits the student's ability at that time. If a student has a special request to learn a certain song, we discuss if it will be appropriate for them, or if they have to work up to that level. For piano students, I use the Thompson piano series (red book), and for other students, especially flute, there are methods books that I teach from. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students develop a passion for music and accomplish their goals! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace and set goals for themselves. I encourage this by sitting down with the student at the beginning of our interactions, and deciding what they wish to "get out of" our lessons. We base our goals on those points and make progress at a reasonable rate. Read More

My teaching experience goes back to when I taught piano lessons in high school. Since then I have continued to teach private lessons throughout college. I now teach music at Kansas City Public Schools. One of the key components to my teaching is helping my students find a way to enjoy making music. I like to provide fun supplemental activities as well as their regular lesson books. I also enjoy finding my students as many performance opportunities as possible so they can show off their hard work! Read More

For my methods, it depends on the age of the student and what their ability level is. For a young student, typically children, I would have to cover the fundamentals of music while applying it to piano or flute to help them learn the notes, clefs, time signatures, key signatures, etc. For my lesson plans, it changes from student to student as each student is different and has different needs they need to focus on to better their musical experience.
