Music Lessons Missouri

Instruments: Flute, Piccolo, Music

I provide solo repertoire for all stages of development to ensure the student has the chance to make music, whatever their skill level may be. If I am working with a student who is not an absolute beginner, I must work to ensure that they have a solid foundation in their playing, and fix any bad habits they may have developed elsewhere. Whatever the playing level, I work to ensure that music and flute are fun, enjoyable, and challenging. Read More

I'm a very high-energy, passionate instructor who is devoted to spreading musical knowledge as far and wide as I can. I played bass with Berea College's Black Music Ensemble for about a year. I also helped to found their folk ensemble, playing guitar and singing with them for another year. For the past five years, I have been developing my own musical character known as Andy The Dishwasher, focusing mainly on hip hop stylistically, but branching out into multiple other genres in various side projects.

I have used several curricula and books by Mel Bay, Alfred, Hal Leonard and others. But in the last 15 years I have developed and used mostly my own books and recordings which are very thorough.

I incorporate both music fundamentals in note reading with basic guitar friendly concepts in chording up to advanced open chords. Read More

I am a working musician, traveling singer-songwriter, and long-time educator. While at school I focused my education on music and the music industry and building my career as a singer-songwriter. As much as I love to create and share my own music I'm also passionate about teaching others to do the same. I've taught lessons throughout college covering a range of instruments and ages. I believe music is something that is best enjoyed with others and that great art is made when we share our knowledge, ideas, and passion. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. I will have you have an assignment notebook where I write what your "sticker song" will be for the following week; this way it's clear what your assignment is. Read More
