Classically trained, lyric soprano. I have a Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance from Palm Beach Atlantic University, and a Master of Music degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Miami. As a child and teenager, I traveled and sang throughout North America with my father’s evangelical music group. Music has always been a part of my life and it’s a passion I’ve turned into a career.

I have 7 years of experience in teaching elementary and secondary music and I am currently the music director at my home church. Not only do I have a passion for singing but I also love being on the other side of the stage and have had the privilege of directing stage productions of Beauty and the Beast, The Sound of Music, The Christmas Shoes, 101 Dalmatians, Annie Jr., The Wonderful Land of Oz, and various Christmas and Easter performances. My past performance experience includes opera, chamber music, art song, oratorio, musical theater, and contemporary music. In...

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.

Since being...

Music continues to be the focal point of my life! It makes my world go around. I have always been involved in playing for something: an organist at a church, a pianist for soloists, accompanying performing groups, pianist with orchestras, and many times, solo performances on the piano or organ.

Teaching is second nature to me, having taught music in public schools, plus classroom grades 3-6, for a total of 20 years. I have taught many piano and organ students privately over a 30 year span and enjoy teaching all ages. Quite of a number of my students are now teachers themselves.

I love introducing young children to music and delight in watching their newly acquired skill become something fun in their life. I also enjoy the challenge of teaching adults who've made the late-life decision to "finally learn to play the piano". Excitement for learning music and coming to lessons is the pay back for good teaching.

Music is a life time gift to yourself that just...

Rob started playing the guitar at age 12 and was initially inspired to play by seeing one of his favorite bands, Metallica, live in concert. With that inspiration, Rob started taking lessons at a local music store where he learned the basic building blocks. He attended the National Guitar Workshop where he studied with guitar greats John Petrucci, Frank Gambale, and Scott Henderson. To further his music education, Rob attended Rhode Island College where he immersed himself in jazz and classical studies. Rob has played in numerous bands over the years. He currently performs in several bands in Orlando.

Special Greetings from " COVENANT HOME MUSIC STUDIOS" where you will experience the best of care and service for your young one on up. I am fully bilingual and offer University Skills along with learning to read music, write music, full theory curriculum, or just learn how to play naturally by ear. I also frame your child's drawn piano hands and personalize it so that you will have a memory of your first lesson. I am looking forward to helping you achieve your heart's desire. For children and Adults. Ready to serve you.

Sincerely,
Ursula S.

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...

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...
