Experience Summary
I am currently a sophomore student at Flagler College and local musician of the Saint Augustine/Jacksonville, and Brevard area. I have had experience playing piano for 8 years, as well as guitar for 5. I often play and record self-compositions and covers at local venues within these areas, and for the past two years have been self-employed giving music instruction with a core emphasis on music theory, note-reading, and composition. My lessons are ideal for anyone first learning either guitar and/or piano, or for anyone who wishes to become more intimately acquainted with the instruments, and finding their own personal music style.
Teaching Style
Music is a way passion that provides the stepping stones for a cultured medium of art in a personal, relaxed, and fun environment. Assessments of the student's ability level will provide individual focus to areas in need of improvement. Instructional books for both piano and guitar techniques, emphasizing basic note/sight reading, major/minor chords, and finger placement are always on hand. Intermediates learn focus on music compositions, scores and measures, as well as tablatures and transposing chords. After gaining basic understanding, students choose their own songs/music genre to practice or transpose to their instrument. All lessons are an hour long, and homework will be assigned for practice at each lesson with aims to improve.
