Music Lessons Tennessee

Instruments: Drums, Bass Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I approach teaching in a universal way before specializing on a student's particular interest within music. I try to provide students with a road map so they can determine where they want to go musically. I do this by introducing various styles and techniques that they may not have heard before. Through the years, I've found that this allows students to get out of their comfort zones and learn new rythms they didn't know before. Read More

I use the same method that I was taught at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA, covering Music Theory and how it applies to Guitar and Piano and every instrument...Students benefit from private lessons with me. I share what world renowned working professional musicians such as Steve Vai, Carlos Santana, Billy Burnette, Keith Wyatt, Dan Gilbert, Tommy Tedesco, and many others have taught me. I tailor the class to the needs of the students. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Bassoon, Music

For young beginners pianists I emphasize the basic posture and approach and finger position through 5 finger exercises then use Piano Adventures by Faber and Faber and challenging them to memorize as many little tunes as they can. A similar approach works for winds in memorizing favorite melodies and learning scales and arpeggios and long tones and we incorporate music theory with an elementary method and duets/improvisation of material. No matter what level I set reasonable goals for each month and help them invest in the world of music by daily listening and playing on their chosen instrument. Read More
