Music Lessons Kentucky

Instruments: Flute, Piccolo, Music

I typically have unique lesson plans and approaches for each student once technique and basics have been learned, as everyone tends to learn differently from everyone else. However, I always like to start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, and I like to take exercises from my own collection that I've accumulated over the years, and determine which exercise is needed based on which aspects of playing a student might need working on.

I have been an educator for about 10+ years (from teaching children in MOPS programs in undergrad to subbing for Hardin Co Schools, to Sunday School, children's choir at my church and a Bible Studies group on Tuesdays but have done private lessons for the past 3 years. I sub for Hardin Co Schools for about 3 years and enjoyed every moment of it. I have experience in working with children and adults with all sorts of disability. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Music, Keyboard

For beginning students, I typically start them with learning the notes, staff, beats, etc. Once the student has mastered those abilities, I begin to introduce playing "by ear" as I like to call it. This process involves the student choosing the song and learning how to play it solely by listening to it and figuring out the chords. If the student is looking to fulfill a career or perform at a competition as a piano player, then I also take the time to focus on the best practices to get them up to par with what they need for the career/competition.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Drums, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Conga, Music

My method of teaching is very detailed instruction. There are many books that tend to start with the assumption that you know something about music or that music is easy to just "pick up." I like to start from the students' most basic skill level and fill in all the gaps as they progress. This means that starting out might be a bit slow, but the learning curve for future lessons is shortened and students eventually end up further ahead than if they skipped around. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I started teaching guitar when I was in High School to my friends that I met through singing beside and learning music theory in the choir room. Shortly after I graduated from High School and went to college at Western Kentucky University, I was teaching even more people from ages 5 to 90, at WKU and Musician's Pro, a local music store. My goal as your music teacher is to give you courage to express yourself, have a lot of fun, and play music to the best of your ability! Read More
