Music Lessons in Arcola, IN. It's your time.

I'm a very patient teacher and love working with new students, regardless of age. As a high school teacher, I find real joy in helping someone acquire new knowledge or a new skill. I work at my student's pace and am excited to teach on my brand new piano. Whether you're wanting to learn how to read music or wish to be able to play songs by ear, I'm happy to help!

Customized creative lessons to meet you exactly where are you on your piano journey. I especially love teaching beginner students. I use many different techniques of teaching to meet the needs of my students. I teach a well rounded curriculum that includes note reading, ear training, improvisation, technique and more.

I have been playing trumpet for 69 years.i majored in Music at the University of Wisconsin,studied privately with jazz greats Woody Shaw and toured and worked with Boz Scaggs

I can guide you through all aspects of playing the trumpet including embouchure studies, breath control, sound production, equipment choices, flexibility, range and endurance.
