Whatever your goals are in music, I can help get you there!

My name is Yvette and I LOVE music. I have been playing since I was 12 years old and grew up on classic and progressive rock. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida with a B.A. in Music Performance in Classical Guitar with Classical Piano as my second instrument. I taught at a private studio for 8 years after college. I took a break and learned about the business side of music while working 6 years for a national concert promotion company. I found this side of music very informative and exciting as well but my heart is in teaching. I love to see a student's face when they have learned a favorite song or piece of music.

Hey everyone!

My name is Andy and I have been playing trumpet since the 6th grade, about 12 years now, and I love every minute of it! First let me tell you a little about myself.

I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. I moved to Bradenton, Florida when going into the 6th grade. I graduated from Lakewood Ranch High School, taught the brassline of the marching band for a couple of years, then traveled up here to Orlando, Florida to attend the University of Central Florida and am finishing my Music Education degree. I am one of the lead trumpet players in the UCF Jazz Ensemble 1. I was on the UCF Jazz Ensemble's first record, on their new record label "Flying Horse Records," called Jazz Town which was recorded in April of 2010.

After coming to Orlando I made connections as fast as I could. I took an audition for Disney World and got the gig as a trumpet player in the Christmas parade! I am still a Toy Soldier in the Christmas parade. I was recruited as one of the lead trumpet...

Jill holds a Bachelor's degree in Music Education and has master's work in choral music. For many years she has taught private and group music lessons to all ages and many varying styles of singing and instrumental music. Her lessons are unlike the ones she remembers from childhood; Jill's lessons are full of fun and excitement each week. It is amazing how students react to Jill's great humor and the lessons certainly prove that learning is a process. Jill brings more than just technique to the studio.

Having been a soloist herself, Jill knows what it takes to prepare and rehearse and therefore she makes it clear which concept the student will learn each week. With an instrumental and choral background, Jill brings music to life and then shares with the students how to keep music in their lives forever.

Jill has worked with children in many schools, churches and after school programs that she designed. Her success with students who are very young or...

Patrick has been playing music all his life. As a child he used to beat on pots and pans with cooking utensils. Not much has changed, as those same pots and pans are still his favorite instrument. In the course of his life he has studied every genre of music conceivable including rock, metal, flamenco, classical, jazz, country, Latin, ska, fusion, Indian Carnatic music, and everything in between. Constantly evolving, Patrick is always learning different instruments. To date he has experience playing violin, piano, trumpet, guitar, bass, lute, cornetto, drums, and pedal steel. He has aspirations to learn the sitar, tablas, and sarangi next.

Patrick earned a masters degree in information technology from the University of Florida. With that he hit the road as a stand-up comedian, where his act was a mix of monologue and guitar-based material. After a few years on the road he began acting, landing roles in commercials, television, and film, including repeated spots on the...

Alexandra has enjoyed playing the violin for the past fifteen years. She is a successful performer in the Orlando area and devotes most of her time to sharing her gift with children and adults who have a passion for music.

She has experience performing with the Canton Youth Symphony in Ohio and the Maitland Symphony Orchestra in Florida. She also has a small private ensemble for hire.

I've been playing drums and percussion since the age of 13, and teaching as soon as I graduated high school. I have studied and performed on all manner of percussion instruments, with emphasis on Rudimental Drumming and Drumset. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Music from Rollins College, and my Master's Degree in Music from the University of Florida, and outside of the world of academia I've played with Orchestras, Drum Corps, Indoor Drumlines, Rock, Jazz, and Steel Bands, as well as all manner of Wind and Percussion Ensembles.

I started playing the drums at the age of ten and have been playing for over thirty years. I played snare drum and bass drum in symphonic band in junior high and high school. I played in the Drum and Bugle Corps while in the Air Force. We marched in parades and won several awards for excellence. I have played in three Christian bands and one rock band. I have also played drumkit and percussion in church for several years.

This real world experience of playing with live musicians in different settings allows me to show students what does and does not work well with playing the drumkit. Whether you have dreams of playing in a touring rock band, playing in church, or just jam out with your favorite songs, I can help you reach your drumming goals.
