Overview:

I a K-8 music teacher at a school in the Atlanta area. I began as a vocalist at a very young age. I have approached the music industry from almost all angles and therefore, I feel I am an excellent teacher for any type of student. As a choir member and a classic music student, I am well versed in classical styles. As a performer at places like Six Flags over Georgia, The Hard Rock Cafe, and Vinyl at Centerstage, and recording artist for the label Vermont Pop, I have a vast background in contemporary styles as well. I I am a graduate from Berklee College of Music and I am currently pursing my Master of Music Education from Liberty University.

EXPERIENCE

I am a music teacher at a school in the Atlanta area. I however, love the one on one aspect of private lessons so I still pursue teaching these lessons in my spare time. I have been teaching private lessons for 4+ years. I began teaching through a homeschool group and eventually began teaching through a music conservatory until I transitioned to online teaching. I love the flexibility that virtual lessons provide for my students and I! I believe practice is the most important part of learning an instrument, however that doesn't mean that practice should be, or needs to be boring. I strive to make learning an instrument something my students look forward to!

METHODS USED

I start by teaching methods and theories, I like to approach this in lots of different ways so that my students don't get burned out. I use flashcards, interactive games, and songs that my students are familiar with to introduce these concepts. I find that once the student knows the basics, they are quickly able to apply them to any piece of music set in front of them.This gives the student more confidence early on, which lasts because the knowledge of the basics doesn't fade. This also gives the student freedom to practice and explore playing what they want.

LESSON STYLE

My favorite part about teaching is sharing what I'm passionate about with other people who are passionate about music. I love sharing my past experiences and how I learned with people in order to help them learn. I believe practice and consistency with practicing is key, even if it's just 10 minutes a day. I feel confidence in students about their progress and learning is extremely important so I always try to reaffirm their efforts. I try to incorporate music my students are interested in to help them learn so they enjoy working.

I signed my son up for guitar lessons with Sophia and ended up signing the rest of my kids up for ukulele lessons with her as well. She is truly great with kids and her passion makes them excited about learning the instruments as well. With just a few lessons, my son took off with his ability to play the guitar. We are truly impressed with Sophia!

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
