Piano Lessons Alabama

Instruments: Piano

For beginning students, I like to start with some starting note learning drills on paper or going through some beginner books. I am a firm believer in that the more a student practices reading music, the easier it will come. I realize that some students learn music better by ear, and I will work to develop that skill alongside the essentials of reading the music on paper. As they progress, I hope to introduce different kinds of solo music in order to teach different skills and techniques that are involved, while still keeping the music fun and accomplishing the goals that the student wants to accomplish.

I am 24 years old, and best known as the lead guitar player for rock band Throne Of Eden. While rock and roll is where my heart is, I am a very well-rounded musician. In 2017 I graduated from Mississippi State University with a Bachelors Degree in Classical Guitar Performance, and a secondary focus in voice. Unlike most guitarist, you could catch me playing styles varying from Mozart to Guns N Roses at the drop of a hat. Read More

I typically will start each student with preliminary lesson that allows me a chance to assess the student's current level, and knowledge base. This preliminary lesson also gives me a chance to do what I call a "method book fitting" this allows me to assess how compatible different method books are with my students personality and learning style. At the end of the first lesson, I typically will leave the student with a loaner copy of the method book I have "fitted" them with and a basic assignment for the first week. Read More

In August 2016, I began an internship at the Gwangmyeong Social Welfare Center (GSWC) in South Korea. In addition to my other roles as an intern, I also taught piano and music lessons to the children being served by the GSWC. Since returning from this internship, I have continued to provide piano and guitar lessons to students in the Decatur-Athens-Huntsville area of Alabama. I have experience teaching a very diverse range of students from many different cultures, learning abilities, and developmental abilities. Read More

When I teach, I emphasis consistent practice along with the enjoyment of the music my students are learning. Ages 5 to 10, I focus more on memorization of skills and hand coordination, over an understanding of theory. Ages 10 to 14, we focus on theory and mastery of skills. Ages 14 and up, we will focus on styles the student enjoys playing, songs they wish to learn, as well as performance techniques and memorization of songs. Read More
