Trumpet Lessons Cheatham County, TN

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet

It is such a joy to see students progress in lessons, especially younger students. My former piano teacher of 10 years inspired me so much and was the most amazing and professional piano instructor in my area. She really lived by the reward system. Anytime, I would finish a goal or objective for the day, whether it be scales, or finishing a pieces, she would reward us with stickers or candy or anything to motivate us in love. Read More

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 have taught privately for the past five years. My students have ranged from eleven years old to college-age students in their late teens and early twenties. I love teaching for many reasons. I see a student as not just a musician, but as a complete person. Each student is very different, and I want to help them find their voice and their ability. My students have placed in honor bands, including the West Tennessee Solo and Ensemble Festival, and in this competition have won first prizes for both ensemble and solo competitions. Read More

I believe private lessons are a great way for some students just to get "a little more time playing their instrument", but under some great guidance! I also believe for other students who are serious about what they are trying to do, it can make the difference between parents paying college tuition or my student receiving that money through a scholarship. There are also students who just need some reinforcement for what is already being taught them at school. Read More

For beginning folk/pop guitar students I use the Hal Leonard Guitar Method. For Classical guitar I use a combination of various resources, including Segovia scales, Sor studies, Guilianni right-hand studies and Frederick Noad method books. I definitely encourage students to work towards performance of the music they are working on, and try to schedule recital/performance opportunities as students deveope and gain mastery over their material. I always try to maintain a healthy balance between keeping the student working on music that challenges them,and advances their technique, with the need to have fun and enjoy the playing of a musical instrument as a means of entertainment and relaxation.
