Piano Lessons Sumner County, TN

Instruments: Piano, Flute

My teaching style focuses on a student's strengths and successes. Any time a student has an "a ha!" moment, we stop and dissect what exactly happened. Perhaps the student used a new lip placement or air angle? We talk about this and figure out what they did to improve. Next, I encourage that same type of change in other aspects of their playing. I believe you cannot get better at an instrument by focusing on what you do wrong. Read More

I have been teaching for several years. I love touring and performing, but learned that a lot of satisfaction comes from teaching new music students and passing on the musical tradition. I personally have taken lessons since I was 10. I am most proficient at bass guitar, but also love playing and teaching piano and guitar. My focus when it comes to teaching is giving students the tools to compose their own songs or to accurately play songs by other artists. Read More

Encouraging my students to become true musicians is at the heart of my teaching. Development of a warm tone and technical mastery of the keyboard is where I start. Solid music theory, ear training, and exposure to many different styles of music prepare students for any pieces they are particularly interested in learning. Playing in an ensemble setting (whether that be playing piano duets, participating as a keyboard player in a band, or playing along with accompaniment tracks) is always promoted. Read More

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.
