Over 30 years of experience as a pianist, accompanist/concertmaster, piano teacher I find great pleasure in teaching because it is what I simply love to do. I learn as much from my students as they do from me because each and every one of them is a unique individual and I have to find just the right approach to helping them learn and discover new things. The key to teaching something wonderful while having fun at the same time is becoming your student's friend no matter what age they are.

Ryan Chesser loves music. But it wasn’t always that way. He started piano lessons in 5th grade, but didn’t fall in love with music until young adulthood. Ryan went on to further his musical education and graduated from Southeastern University with a Bachelors Degree in Church Music in 2007. He served as the music minister of New Beginning Baptist Church from 2008 – 2010and went on to serve as the primary keyboardist at Victory Church, where he iscurrently the primary keyboardist for the worship team and the pianist for the orchestra. While Ryan certainly enjoys playing the piano, his true love is composing music. He has written two songs that have been performed at Victory Church, and one song co-written with DavidCarlyle that is used in regular rotation. His collaboration with Christian recording artist Melissa Tremel can bedownloaded here: If you are a Coldplay play fan,click on

I am passionate about all students having an equal opportunity to learn. I believe all children can and will learn if given the right environment. I empower and encourage students through many different strategies. Making learning fun and exciting is often the tool that is missing in the classroom as well as differentiated instruction. Students learn though discovery and using all senses. I incorporate music as well since it has power to change moods and make connections in learning. I inspire students to make a difference in their own lives by empowering them to achieve success. As a graduate of Florida State University I always have had a passion for music and education. I have earned a BS and MS in Specific Learning Disabilities, Varying Exceptionalities, and English Speakers of Other Languages. I have always had a desire to work with students who have difficulties learning. I

I have taken piano lessons from accomplished musicians since my youth and have taught for over 45 years to both beginners and advanced including youth and adults. I have worked extensively with correct fingering, all areas of music knowledge for timing, counting, expression and composers. Learning all types of music appreciation. I work with the individual for their advancement and learning skills. I prepare them for recitals and programs. I feel that a love of music is the ultimate goal and working closly with the student, that goal will be accomplished. I love seeing both youth and adults advance in their musical skills and can see the advantage young children gain with their eye/hand co-ordination and ability to quickly expand their reading and musical skills. I am patient, but require practice to advance them from level to level. I require workbooks to see how the scales work

I firmly believe that all children are capable of learning and are entitled to an atmosphere that is most conducive to the learning process and their individual needs. Personally, I like to incorporate many different learning styles, whether they are auditory, visual, or kinesthetic. Regardless of the subject matter, I constantly try to find ways in which to make the material exciting and relevant for the student. Motivating my students has always been a primary goal. Even though the main focus has been mainly the mastering of various academic skills, I am also somewhat of an academic rationalist in that I feel that all students deserve to be exposed to great ideas that have shaped our civilizations. Even though I have been very active in the performing arts, teaching is my primary passion. I received a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Music from the College-Conservatory of Music of

I have taught children how to sail for about 10 years now. These children range in groups of 5-15 and ages 5 to adult. This requires not only instruction, but First Aid and CPR certifications and safety procedures. I also am now a Spanish professor at a local community college, teaching a Medical Spanish class to nursing students. I love teaching and working with children. I think that turning the class material into a fun experience will make it easier to learn, and make the experience enjoyable for them as well. I am patient, experienced, and compassionate. I love coming up with in-class activities and games to make the students retain the material. I've even come up with songs and rhymes to help students from young children to my college peers.
