ABOUT
Degrees / Training / Special Info:

Osceola High School 2004-2008 Kissimmee, FL Currently attending: F.i.r.s.t. Institute Orlando, FL Recording Arts

Overview:
Hi I'm Malik and I am passionate about Music. I play a lot of instruments and I am a entertainer in a lot of different outlets. I have had many opportunities to learn, teach, and/or perform over the country, and I am grateful for the that and the experience I gain still to this day. I have been teaching private lessons and master classes since I was a senior in high school (2007-present). I primarily play drums and sing vocals, which is also what I primarily teach, and I am very certain I will be teaching until I'm fossil fuel. I live in Orlando, a place that breeds a lot talented artists and musicians of all styles, and I want to continue that trend. Hopefully with you!
EXPERIENCE
Since graduating High school, I have been able to perform all over the country as a band, or a solo artist. Most recently I performed with a dance team, where I danced and drummed this past New Years Eve 2016 at Universal Studios Citywalk! Exciting experience and one I will never forget. I have taught at various high schools teaching the percussive programs as well as writing the music for these programs. Osceola High School 2008, St. Cloud High School 2014, to name a couple. I have taught marching percussion and I have taught orchestral percussion in the form of master classes. I have also taught many private lessons with students ranging from ages 4 - 36 years of age. I enjoy teaching at any age or level of talent as long as the student has a fun experience out of it.
METHODS USED
I teach out of a few method books when it comes to percussion. Vocals is more of a discovery process while utilizing some neat exercises to build vocal chord strength. With a drummers they can learn multiple ways to do the same application, while a vocal student only has their one voice to work with. I always teach fundamentals, and will focus a lot on it depending on the students needs, to help them achieve a goal they have set out to achieve. I will teach a student what they want to learn, but I will never cheat them out of the understanding of what they are doing.
LESSON STYLE
With new students taking their 1st lesson, I, with the student, set a realistic long term goal for the year. We then make short term goals to as the steps to take to meet this long term goal. After that I am able to plan my lessons with each student more accurately so that the time per lesson is fully utilized. If their goal is to be a confident pop singer, I will start fundamental singing exercises in regards to a pop style singer. My students tend to have fun, but I also, explain to them the difference between fun and hard work so that no frustrations occur. If learning or practicing music becomes a chore, it begins to lose what is fun about it. I try to avoid that from happening at all costs. "If it isn't fun, you are doing it wrong." -Malik

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.

Ok
