Music Lessons in Fort Oglethorpe, GA. It's your time.

I have been practicing guitar for 8 years and would love to teach you how to play! Learning an instrument should be a fun and non-stressful experience and I am here to ensure that! Being a current college student, I know the key to learning anything new is patience. In no time you will be able to play all of your favorite songs on guitar and love doing it!

Tori spreads the joy of playing the pedal harp and lever harp by teaching private lessons to children and adults of all skill levels (no previous musical training required!). She teaches at her students' homes or online. Tori's teaching style is holistic: she focuses not just on reading music, harp technique, and basic music theory but also music history, developing effective practice habits, and helping her students' discover how the harp can become a part of their lives and achieve their musical goals and dreams!

The piano is a big instrument to become friends with, and it's worth every minute of practice that one can invest. I make every effort to make learning fun, and I include music games that bring the aha moments that help motivate my students on to the next level of reading and technique. I am patient, supportive with my students, and my low key approach sets them at ease so it's easier to learn and retain. I have taught piano students of all ages for 8 years, and thoroughly enjoyed each one age group. I"m looking forward to meeting you and teaching you how to play the wonderful piano!!

I have been teaching drums since 2003, and I start my students using The Drumset Musician, by Rick Mattingly and Rod Morgenstein. I also choose materials, from my extensive library, to address the needs of each individual. I am familiar with rock, country, blues, jazz, and world grooves, as well as marching band and orchestra. I teach the components of and purposes of voices within the set, proper grip, reading music, coordination, and feel. I also teach students how to analyze and map songs, so they can excel in a band setting. If a student is wanting to be in marching and symphonic bands, I can prepare them for those pursuits, as well. I have two sets in my studio, as well as abundant hand and auxiliary percussion instruments.

I hope to share my passion for music with you! I’m classically trained in piano, and have played for the past 17 years. I plan to help you with any goals you have musically and with the instrument!

I have lots of experience working as a theory teacher, even working as a theory tutor during my undergrad at Berklee College of Music.
