Piano Lessons Tennessee

Instruments: Piano

I like to use piano methods that employ the multi-key and intervallic approach to teaching piano. Alfred's Piano Method nicely blends these two methods. To keep book costs down, the Alfred's All-in-One Piano Method (children's or adult's) is a good choice for beginning students. Alfred's method is also used by many universities and community colleges, so what you learn will nicely carry over to that environment. More advanced students can bring the method and materials they have been working with and we'll go from there. Read More

It is so rewarding to see a students eyes light up when they learn a new musical thought or concept! All students are different from one another, some have a harder time understanding certain elements in music, everyone has a different personality with strengths and weaknesses.

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Bass Guitar

I like to customize the lessons towards exactly what the student wants. I begin by asking the students particular goals. Almost like a doctor, I like to diagnose specific exercises that are aimed at those goals. I like combining several different aspects of playing all into simple exercises that the student can understand and expand off of while learning theory at the same time! I have something to offer students at all levels. Read More

I began piano playing at age three, lessons from college faculty at age six, organ lessons at age thirteen and began coaching with my future major teacher at age fifteen.
