Review by Gary
"Wow! She is the instructor I was looking for. It's hard to find a guitar teacher that knows music theory and knows how to relate it to playing jazz guitar
improvisations which I'm trying to master."

"This produst was a great way to find a banjo teacher, when we had no idea where to even start looking.
Mrs. Fegan is a great instructor, who can explain
Mrs. Fegan is a great instructor, who can explain
things on all levels to make sure your child is truly learning. She has a fun disposition and you can tell she really enjoys teaching. My son loves her, learns more than just the banjo at lessons. She is very patient, yet expects my son to do his part too. We have been with her for a year, and now my son has added Baritone lessons as well, because of the encouragement and support, and respect she gives my son. Best teacher we have ever had! I truly believe Mrs. Fegan could teach my son anything, because she teaches the way a person seems to learn at their own ability."

About Rebecca
I have 50 years of teaching experience, from beginners to advanced students. I also teach the people no one else thinks are teachable because I work with people from where they are and find their best learning styles. Several of my students are now professional musicians, but that's not everyone's course. I teach every age range from 3-83 and everything from classical to country-western. And I teach every orchestral and band instrument, and guitar, bass, and drum kit and some instruments you've never heard of. I also teach voice, pop, rock, opera, doesn't matter to me.
*** Lesson Details ***
Important Note: I will no longer take new students that want lessons every other week, beginning Nov 1. Inconsistent lessons, especially with younger students, allows them to forget too much between sessions.
What I teach is transferable

About Victoria B.

About Victoria
My name is Victoria Bartholomew. I have been playing the violin for 22 years and have loved teaching students along the way. I started teaching in high school, and have had several students since. Currently I am teaching five students; one as young as 4 years old. I am a licensed Special Education Teacher and have worked with students with various disabilities for the past 7 years. I am trained in applied behavior analysis and have used it in private and group settings.
Teaching music is a fantastic merge of my two passions in life. I perform regularly in my church congregation, and can also play the piano and trombone. Currently, I am learning how to play the organ. I have participated in several large orchestras and have taken professional violin lessons for 16 of my 22 years of playing.

Currently, I am learning how to play the organ. I have participated in several large orchestras and have taken professional violin lessons for 16 of my 22 years of playing.
I have a very flexible and casual style o
f teaching. Once I have gotten to know the student and their (if applicable) parents, then I tailor the lessons to fit their needs. I teach using a mix of traditional and more modern Suzuki philosophies. Additionally, I am willing to teach in my home, at your home, or online. I am also willing to use toys and games for very young students who are wiggly.
Perfect practice makes perfect playing. I believe in starting with form and care of the instrument, and then moving into theory right away. Unless there is a recital or performance coming up, I prefer to spend up to 20-40% of a lesson on music technique and theory. This will ultimately lead to a more well rounded musician and allow for greater creativity as a mature musician.

About Alan
Hi there!
I began taking lessons on the piano around the age of 5, and through time and work I developed a passion for this instrument. I continued throughout junior high, under the instruction of Will Bailey of Scottsbluff, Ne. and high school, under the instruction of Mical Thurow. Often times we would have recitals, so I learned a lot about playing and performing under these instructors, all of which I continue to teach my students. I continued playing throughout college, where I majored in piano performance and music technology. Throughout my performance degree, I was required to give a 40 minute long recital, which I completed with the works of Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Debussy and Chopin. I recently graduated in May of 2017, and have been continuing to teach lessons to students and pass on the gift of music.
