Overview:

I am a band director and private lessons teacher in the Columbia/Lexington area that is passionate about helping students become the best person through music that they can be. I graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor in Music Education and Euphonium Performance from Winthrop University, where I studied euphonium with Dr. Douglas Black. As a band director, I teach beginner band students, and maintain a working knowledge of all woodwind and brass instruments. I have performed with the Winthrop University Wind Symphony, the Palmetto Concert Band, and the South Carolina Phihamonic.

EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching private and group lessons for over 6 years, and I teach multiple brass and woodwind instruments. I started teaching private lessons in 2012, and only taught euphonium and trombone lessons to middle and high school students preparing them for region band auditions. I have taught private lessons at various middle and high schools in both the Columbia area, and at schools in Rock Hill and Charlotte, NC. I encourage all my students to challenge themselves musically, and attempt to approach music in a fun, yet rigorous way. I am able to teach students at all ages at different performance levels, from beginner to advanced!

METHODS USED

For beginning lessons students, I combine different materials from method books, traditional methods written for their specific instruments, and pieces of music written for their experience level. For advanced students, I introduce more solo literature that will challenge them musically and technically, but will allow them to embrace their musical abilities. I always allow student input, and am more than willing to work on music picked out by students that they enjoy playing. I always strive to make lessons engaging and challenging, and also discuss efficient ways to practice and grow as a musician.

LESSON STYLE

I approach teaching music as building skills as a person first, and music follows. Teaching music means teaching confidence, determination, perseverance, and concentration. I work on all of these skills with my students, and how they relate to playing an instrument. Although I believe in challenging my students to go above and beyond, I also teach at a pace that is comfortable and appropriate for each individual skill level. I have experience teaching children from kindergarten, up to high school and adult students, and can change my instructional methods quickly depending on student needs.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
