Music is my passion, and when you've found your passion, you've found your purpose!

As a singer and a teacher, I specialize in Rhythm and Blues, (R&B), Jazz, Pop, Gospel and I am able to help students excel in these areas. I am very easy going, patient and excited about strengthening the voice and how the voice works.

At the tender age of 3, I was the youngest to sing with the adults in a concert. Since then, I knew that singing was something I was going to do for the rest of my life. At age 7, I started playing piano and guitar. At the age of 12, I formed a group in high school and started teaching the group about the importance of learning different harmony and using the vocal chords. At ages 13 through 16, I took guitar and voice lessons and I have been mastering the art of teaching voice lessons for many years and ear training.

Being a resident of New York for many years, I taught vocal lessons from 1992 to 2003 to kids, teens, main choir and a group of 12. I have...

I am a recent graduate of the Stetson University Classical Guitar (performance) program and also regularly perform in professional groups across a broad spectrum of genres.

Another passion of mine is digital arts, in which I minored during college. With experience in Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live, and Max/MSP (sound design and music programming), I am well versed in these areas.

I grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, where I began playing music around the age of 11. I was selected to attend LaVilla Schol of the Arts in 6th grade, where I began playing various low brass instruments and playing in the school's symphonic band. I decided around the age of 13 that I wanted to begin playing guitar and soon found myself in the classical guitar program at LaVilla, along with still playing in the symphonic band and making All-State band later that year.

When it came to the decision of where I would attend high school, I wanted to attend Douglas Anderson School of the Arts so that...

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.

Five years ago obtained a Harmony Road Music method certification and established a very successful music school in Maryland. At the moment the school provides lessons in piano, guitar, violin, vocals, music theory and music history.
Moved to Florida recently. Hope to utilize my experience here and looking forward to introducing the wonderful world of music to my future students.

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...

I have been teaching piano for 7 years. I attended the International Academy of Music. I love teaching and I love my students! I've had several students who did not want to take piano lessons, but their parents made them come anyway. After several weeks of studying with me, they loved it!

I have taught students from age 7 to 39. I have taught beginning, intermediate, and advanced students. I also have experience teaching group lessons and have group lessons twice a year. I help my students to succeed in any public performances by giving them lots of practice and making sure they are confident with their music.

I've been teaching private lessons for over a decade now. First I taught lessons as a self-employed college student, and then my during graduate studies I worked through a music academy in Dallas. I've been playing piano for over 20 years and guitar and drums for 15. I've been in various bands, personally recorded several albums of my own compositions, and have taught students from ages 7-17 consistently. I teach part time as a high school teacher in the area and I enjoy helping young people learn, whether it's guitar, piano, drums, or even psychology

I was a member of the United States Marine Corps band for more than 8 years. Prior to joining the band I attended the Armed Forces School of Music for 8 months. While at this school, I was taught Ear Training, Music Theory, and Performance. Playing with the Marine Band gave me priceless experience and I got a chance to work with some great people. I've performed with members of the President's Own, for Professional Football games, Professional Soccer Games, and opened up concerts for Toby Keith and Montgomery Gentry. These are only some of the amazing experiences I've had. I have played the clarinet for 12 years and am eager to help students aspiring to be better.

Michael first sang on stage, at the age of 3, the same time that he began learning piano. He went on to explore multiple instruments throughout his early years and also developed as a vocalist for theatre and concerts, including competing in Star Search in the mid-80s, the forerunner to American Idol.

Michael earned his Bachelor of Music Education from Troy State University in Troy, AL and Master of Music in Composition from Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, MI, where he studied with world-renowned composer, Dr. David R. Gillingham.

While a graduate student at CMU, Michael taught sophomore Music Theory and senior level Form & Analysis. He also contributed to the book, Music Is Fundamental: Fundamentals and Methods for Elementary Music, by Dr. Daniel L. Steele. Michael was one of only five composers in 2006 to be inducted into the United Michigan Collegiate Composers, and was subsequently commissioned to compose a piece based on the instrumentation of Igor...

Twenty years experience as a dance fiddler, and the last several years studying swing and traditional Irish. I play in three bands, all different genres.
I consider myself so lucky to be blessed to be playing an instrument. It is one of the best kept secrets to life. This is a point I like to stress to my students. It enhances your mind, you can make wonderful friendships with like minded people, and constantly learn new tunes and genres. It just keeps you young at heart. I love spreading the Gospel of music.I consider myself so lucky to be blessed to be playing an instrument. It is one of the best kept secrets to life. This is a point I like to stress to my students.
