I'll answer your questions & assist you with a personalized lesson
plan.
My

"Define and work towards achieving their goals while gaining self-esteem
from a sense of personal accomplishment".
Monthly tuition is competitively priced
& based on your lesson plan. Includes various lesson material. Home School

events.
Upon meeting you
I will answer your questions and evaluate your abilities. I may recommend
one or more method or theory books of which we may study. These can be
purchased locally for a nominal fee, however, some study materials will be
provided.
Studies have
shown...Students who are involved in music are more
likely to become better pupils in the areas of
Math, English, Reading, Self Confidence and Social Development.
Private
instruction
helps students gain increased knowledge and
expertise with a much higher degree of accuracy and success. Students
will experience far less frustration by omitting the 'trial and error'
process and obtain a greater level of proficiency and understanding.
Parents who are directly involved
with student lessons will also learn how to approach my methods of
practice and learning. This typically results in a higher success rate and
promotes a good student, parent and teacher relationship.
Students
are encouraged (but are not required) to participate in two annual recitals.
Studies Include...
Music Theory* Jazz
Improvisation* Sight Reading* Instrument Techniques* Ear Training* Alternate
Fingerings * Tonguing & Articulation Techniques* Chords and Harmony * Tone and Pitch
