I am experienced at teaching students covering a broad range of ages, from elementary aged to students in their 50s. I always considers it a privilege to teach and is very sensitive to adapt to the individual goals and learning styles of each student. I enjoy sharing my love for music and life-- helping students progress and quickly gain confidence and a love for their instrument and music. As a graduate of the New Life School of Worship, I have studied under some of the best songwriters and worship leaders in the country. Not only have I taught privately, I have also led numerous bands and worship teams in a large environment as well. I help nurture the passion of each individual student and has seen students pursue music as a full time career. I have served as a worship pastor/leader at Generations Church in NC, Summit Church in CO, Faith Fellowship Church in FL, and now volunteer at Meadowbrook Church in Ocala.

I have been playing since I was 8 and began teaching (beginner - advanced levels) in high school when my mother opened up her own studio. A major part of our teaching involved preparing students for biannual recitals. I continued teaching piano while in college along with tutoring in pre-engineering courses (calculus, chemistry, physics, etc.) to gain more experience in different learning/teaching environments and techniques.

Hi, my name is Cindi C., and I have loved music for as long as I can remember! As a child I loved to sing with the radio, and belt out hymns as loud as I could from the backyard. My mom enrolled me in dance class at the age of 3, and I loved dancing and performing! At age 7, a classmate played the piano in our music class one day, and I fell in love with it! I started taking lessons on the piano, and 3 years later started learning how to play the flute. In high school I started teaching piano lessons, and have been doing it on and off for about 30 years. My years of experience have definitely helped me to become a better teacher. I try my best to be very patient and compassionate with my students, and I tailor the lessons to meet their individual needs and goals. I want my students to have fun at their lessons, so I will play music games with them to help them memorize notes on the staff and rhythms. I also try to find out what music they like, and find music or write...

He quickly progressed to advanced levels and enjoyed playing live several times a week in different bands at his church and also in the orchestra pit at the Cocoa Village Playhouse. His style ranged from contemporary Christian, to rock, Jazz, even playing...
