Language Lessons in Kansas City, MO. It's your time.

I started playing violin at 3 years old. Wichita State University gave me the opportunity to get my Music Ed degree and start teaching lessons. I have taken over 500 lessons myself and played in many heavy gigging bands playing gigs almost every weekend. Improvising, Country, Jazz, and Rock are my specialties but I have played lots of Blues, Funk, and Latin jazz as well.

Saxophone, piano, cello... There is nothing in our world like music! I would love to help you learn about and grow your passion! My lessons are customized to each student and will come with lots of helpful handouts. We'll work on your ear training, sight reading, and music theory abilities as well.

All students will be expected to play from a variety of repertoire and methods in many different styles of music based on their level of playing.Outside of playing the instrument students will learn breathing exercises and will be expected to be actively listening to professional recordings. I hold my students to a high standard and expect them to always play at their best.

From the beginner to the intermediate player I can help you increase your piano skills. If you have no experience that is okay! I am especially well experienced with children and try to come up with creative and entertaining methods to help them reach their piano goals.

We begin with exercises to develop technique and train for agility, musicality and music theory. Classical music is used but not exclusively as we explore the many different genres of music! Ear training is also offered so that the student may be able to play by ear as well as reading music.
