I've been playing guitar for 15+ years. My favorite styles are rock, blues, pop, folk, soul, and country. I learned through both private lessons and independent study.

In addition to private lessons, I've learned through various method books and through the insight and direction of more experienced musicians I've played with. I've played with various bands/artists in Central Florida and performed regularly in church ensembles.

Currently, I play guitar at Real Life Christian Church. They're a multi-site church with roughly 4,000 weekly attendees and campuses in Clermont, Orlando, and Kissimmee.

Bonnie grew up in a household that loved JAZZ! Her mom and dad took her to famous big band concerts such as, Stan Kenton, Woody Herman.....to name a few. This valuable experience left her with the conclusion that music is FUN!

She started piano at age 4, and oboe in the 8th grade. In High School, she played in the jazz band and won the best soloist award. She also performed in the local symphony orchestra, then on to college. Throughout college, she played in the Tampa Orchestra. After her masters, she played with Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

All along the way, she was teaching private students, and then began homeschooling her own children. She also became a certified Kindermusik teacher, which emphasized even more her love of making music FUN!

I began taking drum lessons at a very early age and continued on and off with various teachers for the better part of twenty years. I will always be grateful to them for the knowledge and wisdom they imparted on me and for the positive influence they have had on my life, especially the ones with whom I really bonded and who were essentially mentors to me while I studied with them.

As a teacher, there is no better feeling than seeing a student make progress and knowing that you helped him or her along the way, while at the same time not taking the credit, as it is always the student who has the harder job, who must do the real work. I always feel tremendous satisfaction when a student masters a difficult rudimentary exercise for the first time, or is able to execute a challenging rhythm pattern on the drum set. The expression on their faces often conveys pride over their achievement, and I can often sense a boost in their self-esteem. This is why I teach.

I began playing...

Well there's actually a lot about me that you probably don't know, so let's start from the very beginning (I've heard it's a very good place to start). My name is Matt S. I am a graduate from the State University of New York at New Paltz with a Bachelors of Science in Music. My concentrations were Classical Voice Performance and Music Theory/Composition. Throughout my time in college I spent every second of my free time diving head first into the education side of music. I got heavily involved with two great organizations and they both elected me to become their musical director. One was an a cappella group and the other a musical theater troupe. So every second of my time in college was either learning new ways to teach music and become more proficient in it, or learning how to handle people and adapt my knowledge to their learning style and ensuring their progress. I spent about 2 years teaching in those groups before I moved down to Florida to expand my horizons.
