Piano Lessons Wake County, NC

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, French Horn

I have found that I am most fulfilled when my students reach the next level on their instrument. I am passionate about music and do my best to help my students learn to love music as much as I do. In order to do this, I pick appropriate music for each student, in styles they express interest in. I teach as quickly, or as slowly as needed to help each student progress at their own pace.

Instruments: Piano, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Keyboard, Djembe

I tailor each lesson plan to each individual student's wants and needs. I like to start with having a mutual understanding of the student's goals, desires, and expectations. If a student does not have any concrete goals, I can help them narrow their interests down so that we both have a clear direction in mind. For example, a student's goal could be to work on music for their band class, to prepare for a college audition, to learn a new style, to become more comfortable with a particular grip, to learn specific works of music, or simply to become better acquainted with percussion instruments as a whole.

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet

My instruction follows a broad method of teaching technique as well as musicality. I use method books such as Arbans, Clarke, Frink, Schlossberg, Concone, as well as several etude books like the Voxman series, Charlier, and others. Depending on the student's knowledge, I can teach theory concepts so the student can better understand the broad aspects of composition and improvisation. My main focuses are: rhythm, tone, playing technique, history, range, musicality with a broad library of different approaches to teaching through applied lessons. Read More

For beginning students I typically start with sound development and articulation for the brass instruments starting with armband studies and schlosburg studies. For the intermediate students I work on Clark studies and intersperse getchel etudes for artistic development. Advanced students work on major recital works for brass that help their development for performance. Guitar students learn chordal techniques with rythem patterns and a blend of classical playing finger picking for individual technique for fingers. Read More
