Music Lessons Utah

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Piccolo, Music

I want my students to feel comfortable during lessons. After all, playing in front of someone can be scary! I strive to be warm and inviting while also providing direction and education. I put heave emphasis on the basics like scales (major and minor), circle of fifths, thirds and fifths, and sight reading. Having a solid understanding of fundamentals and their instrument will really set up the student for success in the future. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Music

I want my students to feel inspired and motivated, and feel comfortable progressing at their own pace. As a teacher and mentor, my priority is to help the student set and work towards their own goals. My teaching expertise is classical and musical theater, and I believe that students can be very successful branching out to different styles from this technical foundation. I encourage my students to learn music theory as well as vocal techniques to become well rounded musicians. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone, Clarinet, Music

My musical teaching goes back to high school, when I was the section leader in marching band on clarinet and the saxophone section leader in jazz band. I lead sectionals and helped those in my section learn the music and improve as players. I tried to make the sectional time as effective as possible, as we usually only had about 30 minutes. But I also believe in having fun while you work-if it's not fun, then something needs to change because music should be fun! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Trombone, Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Bassoon, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I've always believed that learning comes 50% from the teacher, and 50% from the student. I do teach through lesson books but I've always found that they're better used as a guide rather than the focus of every lesson. I like to give the students the freedom to learn what they want to learn. I've always been willing to go the extra mile for my students, not just show up every week and continue from page 20 to see how far we get in the lesson book. Read More
