Music Lessons in Palm Bay, FL. It's your time.

Ear Training is a must for learning any musical Instrument. During the course of Guitar, Piano and Vocal Lessons, if chosen, I train the student to listen to specific musical relationships that guide the students ears to hear and understand note, chord and scale fundamentals that are that are used in many song formats. Integrating ear training with instrument and vocal training enhances the teaching process quite a bit. If ear training is desired on its own, I use a piano to provide a complete understanding of relative and absolute pitch fundamentals.

What a joy it is to play the piano!!! I have been playing piano and organ for over 35 years and teaching piano for over 25 years. One of my greatest joys is seeing people learn how to use their gift of music in making music through piano playing. I am happy to work with you at whatever level you are and whatever pace suits you. Some people learn faster than others and some in different ways. I will work with you to make sure you thoroughly enjoy your piano playing experience!

Learn proper technique, how to read sheet music and guitar tabs, how to play scales, music theory, and more!

I've taught cello for the last 12 years, and try to infuse the same enthusiasm into my students as I experienced in my journey to where I am today. I use both the Suzuki method books and the Applebaum String Builder books to start with beginners, depending on level and experience, with an emphasis on music reading. After that, the student's progress will dictate the best route to follow.

I adjust my lesson plan to whatever the students interest is. I spend a lot of time on ear training, improvisation, chord voicings, and music theory. The techniques can be applied to Jazz, Pop, R&B, Neo-Soul, and many other genres. I give students the tools they need to have to explore what their true passion is in music. I have 15 years of playing experience and 5 years of teaching experience. I have played with world-renowned pop artists such as Zara Larrson, Neo-Soul Artists like Qaasim Middleton and Jazz artists like Erena Terakubo at various venues throughout the nation.

During online sessions if a student is a minor must have a parent or guardian first 10-15 minutes of lesson to make sure that the technology (online classroom, camera, etc) is functioning and running smoothly.
