I began singing when I was three years old, started piano lessons at age ten and have been singing, playing, writing and teaching for more than ten years. I graduated from California State University, Northridge with a Bachelor's degree in Music Industry Studies. While my focus was vocal performance, I never stopped playing, writing or listening to music. I continued my own studies of piano, world music, music theory and music history. I began teaching private piano lessons in 2002 and added voice lessons to my services several years later.

During my studies at Cal State, I worked on two projects for the CTVA (Cinema and Television Arts) department. One was as the music coordinator for a video documentary and the other was recording my first music video. Since then, I have recorded two CDs of original music and made a second music video for one of my songs. Interspersed between all of these projects was teaching private lessons, writing, gigging and taking side jobs, including...

I am happy to see that you are interested in voice lessons. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I’m a classical vocal performance graduate from Belmont University. I have sung all over the world, as a soloist with a mission’s organization The New America Singers. We sang in Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, South Korea, Russia and Germany, with our largest audience being over 6,000 people. I was also a missionary in Germany for a year, getting to use my musical abilities to spread the gospel by putting on concerts, directing a German Children’s musical, vocal coaching, and loved every moment. Teaching voice is something that I am passionate about. I had some vocal health issues when I was younger, but thankfully I had an incredible teacher who not only helped me fix them but also taught me how to help others. I have been teaching the past few years, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I am excited to be able to help students who wish to improve their vocal...

Hello, my name is Bryan J. I am a graduate of GIT at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California. I was privileged to have studied with the best musicians in the world, some well known and some are not, however, you don't have to be world-famous to be a great musician. I have twenty years of playing, touring, recording, and teaching experience and I have seen how life-changing music can be. I simply use my experience in a practical way to work for my students to achieve their goals and get where they want to go without the pressure or stress of trying to please someone else, including me. This is for you. If you are inspired and love to play, practicing is never an issue. Becoming passionate about your studies is key to your success. That's what I am here to help you with.

Hello,

Steve here. For years, as a professional guitar player and session player based out of Nashville, I’ve been on the road in
the bands of major country artists (see attached Bio).

genres, including country, folk, Americana, western swing, and even metal.

Hello! My name is Rafe (rhymes with safe) and I'm a drummer and drum teacher in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

My wife, two teenagers and two dogs and I have lived in Murfreesboro since 2006. Prior to that I lived in Nashville after moving here from Atlanta in 2001.

I come from a long line of singer/songwriters and working musicians. I've been playing drums and percussion since elementary school. My first real drum hero was Peter Criss of KISS!

During and after high school I developed the reading and coordination skills to move from marching and orchestral percussion into drumset playing. Along the way I've had the good fortune of knowing and being mentored by some very worthy and accomplished teachers, most notably Jack Dukes of Atlanta, GA who was an early graduate of Musician's Institute and himself a protege of the great Joe Porcaro.

I've performed live and recorded in several mainstream genres including Southern gospel, rock, pop and folk, mainly on the regional...

I am an experienced music teacher and educator who can cater to all types of music learning. I graduated from William Jewell College with a degree in Flute Performance. Shortly after, I finished my K-12 Vocal and Instrumental certification and Master's of Arts in Teaching. Having taught flute, piano, and voice lessons for over 13 years now, you can know you will come away from our time together having learned about music. I have taught school in many types of settings and learning styles so we can make sure you are learning to your fullest in our time together!

I have been playing guitar for 13 years and have to pass on my knowledge of the guitar.
been playing in bands around the state touring bands and local bands and currently am studio musician for recording studios around Nashville. and can offer real studio and live advice for the aspiring guitarist or bassist. or Recording Engineer!

I graduated from Colorado Christian University in 2012 with a Bachelor's of Arts in Music, vocal emphasis. I have studied piano classically for seventeen years and voice for 5 years. Along with classical training I have been playing and singing in worship and secular bands for the past seven years and have a wide range of repertoire. This is extremely beneficial when teaching lessons, because I can teach the basics and important techniques that are offered by classical music and then translate those techniques into today's music.
