Music Lessons Kentucky

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Recorder, Music, Keyboard

For beginning piano students, I typically begin with the Piano Adventures series lesson books, adding integrated theory, composition and musical history with instructional activities. Depending on the student, once they complete the initial book, I begin to incorporate basic improvisation strategies and duet playing to develop their knowledge of theory as well as their aural skills. For adult beginners, I typically begin with Alfred's Adult All in One Course because I find it is the most flexible for adult learning styles. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I started teaching guitar when I was in High School to my friends that I met through singing beside and learning music theory in the choir room. Shortly after I graduated from High School and went to college at Western Kentucky University, I was teaching even more people from ages 5 to 90, at WKU and Musician's Pro, a local music store. My goal as your music teacher is to give you courage to express yourself, have a lot of fun, and play music to the best of your ability! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Music, Keyboard

If the student does not enjoy the lesson then they will not enjoy playing the instrument! With this in mind, I make sure to enforce the joy of music and focus on the fun side of playing. I recommend students learning at their own pace. This is done by setting appropriate goals and focusing on what each student needs to reach those goals. I also like to focus on a particular genre of music that the student likes, so that they are more interested in learning to play the songs each lesson. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Music

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with breathing and vocal exercise. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals and are introduced to the Belcanto technique, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate, for their first recital performance or audition. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guild my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging, fun, productive and fruitful, no matter their ability level.

Instruments: Flute, Piccolo, Music

While I do not have much experience teaching music, I've been playing for over a decade, participating in both concert and marching ensembles, as well as Murray State's flute ensemble for several years. I also have plenty of experience working with children, both in my time working in daycares, primarily with ages 6 months through age 5, as well as volunteering helping with the children's choir at the church I grew up in and have attended my entire life.
