Lone Tree Music Lessons for Teens

Music Theory is something that never ever changes. It is for us the same as it was for Beethoven 200 years ago. It is the structure of how music is built and constructed - or in reverse, how it is broken down, dismantled and understood. These lessons begin with the bare basics and work up from there. The tool best used for seeing, visioning and understanding music theory is the piano which will be our primary tool.

I have been playing the flute for nine years and the piccolo for two and have been in a variety of bands and orchestras. I currently play in Montana Technological University's pep and concert bands and intend to audition for the Butte Symphony Orchestra when they resume rehearsals. In high school, I placed first chair in my school's audition band my Senior year, placed second chair in the audition band my Junior year, participated in the non-audition band, was handpicked by my director to play flute and piccolo for our school's musical, was a marching band section leader for two consecutive years, and occasionally played with the school's orchestra and choir. I find playing music to be incredibly peaceful and relaxing, as well as enjoyable, fun, and exciting! I would love to be able to pass on some of my knowledge to you so that we're able to have fun together! I do best with teaching beginners and intermediate-level students in a patient and goal-oriented environment. During our ...

Organ has been a love of mine from young childhood. I was even saving my lunch money in elementary school to purchase my first organ. I have been fortunate to have some fine instructors both privately and at the college level. For many years I was the house organist at the Aladdin Theater playing for many special events on the 3 manual Wicks Theater Pipe Organ. When home organs were very popular I had daily classes of organ students both private and adult. Currently I am minister of music for the Presbyterian Church in Georgetown, Colorado along with my teaching and consulting.

I've been teaching piano for 10 years. Within the first few lessons students will be able to read basic music notation and as time goes on they will be able to confidently play beginning songs of their own choosing. I typically use Alfred or Faber books which builds playing skills and teaches music theory.

I trained as a high-level classical and flamenco guitarist for 12yrs, and then I completely bailed on Bach and got into Jim Croce and Chet Atkins, since then I do a lot of worship music at my church and played in a wedding band doing 47 weddings a year. I'm all around kind of guitar player, and my favorite thing to do is take a song off the radio, or a song you like, and help you figure out the best way to play it in your preferred style. If you want to learn rhythm guitar, fingerstyle guitar, classical guitar or bluegrass, I'm your guy! I'm pretty laid back so I don't mind going at your speed and being flexible on lesson plans and fitting things around how you want to do them.

I have been playing guitar for about 25 years and teaching for about seven years now. I played in a punk/rock band in high school and have since studied classical and jazz guitar. Currently I write and perform songs in a folk/acoustic style.

I studied classical guitar at the University of Central Florida, performing solo and ensemble repertoire. I can teach proper technique with both hands, music notation, tablature, sight reading, harmonic theory, and how to realize "orchestral" compositions.

I can teach shredding lead guitar riffs or strumming rhythm (typically acoustic) guitar. Whatever genre or style you're into, and whatever skill level you find yourself - I can help you play the songs you love.
