Music Lessons Washington

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music, Keyboard

I believe music is best learned like a second language. When we learn any language we first listen and then imitate what we hear. My approach is based on this principle. I start my beginner students with a series of examples to listen to, along with experiments to try. This approach is fun and we actually start playing music very quickly! Its very exciting!! Later we gradually start introducing technique and written music, just as when you learn a language, first you speak and then you learn to read. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Drums, Orchestral Percussion, Latin Percussion, Music

With my teaching style, I prefer to work on what the student has an interest in if they are old enough to know. There is no better feeling than to work with a student who is enjoying the study of the current material. I also enjoy teaching beginning composition and bringing out the music from within. When the child is at a young age, I incorporate curriculum that targets ear-training and listening, reading, rhythmic awareness and time-keeping, and theory. Read More

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

Electric guitar is my main focus, but I am also very comfortable teaching acoustic guitar, electric bass, and ukulele. I specialize in rock, blues, pop, metal, reggae, r&b, and acid jazz. I have experience creating and teaching curriculums for students (ages 7-12) in an afterschool program called PRIDE. I also have been giving private lessons in guitar, bass, and ukulele for about 12 years now, 4 of those years being in person at local shops and in home lessons, teaching students as young as 5 and as old as 85!

I started piano lessons in elementary school before discovering a passion for the guitar. Now, having earned a Music Theory degree from the prestigious Whitman College in Walla Walla, I celebrate my love of music through teaching as well as playing in the Spokane local group Mama Llama. With theory knowledge and years of practice in guitar, piano, voice, and bass, I landed roles in local Walla Walla opera productions and musicals and received the Campbell Music Scholarship before entering post-secondary education.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Synthesizer, Music, Keyboard

I have a friendly and laid back teaching style, maintaining student/teacher professionalism. How much or how fast the student learns depends a lot on how much they practice. For younger students I use stickers as rewards to help motivate them. I adapt to the student when it comes to the style of music we play or sing. Occasionally we may play or sing duets. I let voice students choose which songs they want to sing. Read More
