Music Lessons in Lone Jack, MO. It's your time.

Comprehensive method including theory instruction, technique & musicality.

I began playing the violin 14 years ago and have been teaching it for 12 years. I start beginning violin students from the book "Essential Elements". Once the basic foundations are laid out we move on to scale, etude, and solo books.

As a passionate cello player, I want my students to have fun but also really understand their instrument and the music they are playing! Students will learn their scales through the circle of fifths, shifting positions, vibrato techniques, music theory, and performing with an accompanist. They are expected to have fun but to work hard - it’s totally worth it!

I will definitely toot my own horn on this one (pun totally intended LOL). I am a killer KAZOO player and have been playing Kazoo (for fun as well as on stage performing with my band “here ii here”) for 20+ years.
The skills required to play this simple to play (yet not so simple to play) instrument is all in the voice ... and I do mean the singing voice.

Feel free to read through my profile bio and also see my description below for my "Heart Centered Vocal Coaching" program where I have 20+ years experience as a professional singer, etc. The only twist on these lessons for "KAZOO" playing is that we would focus all the singing/vocal skills into this very fun instrument. Who knows, maybe you'll leave our lessons as both an awesome Kazoo player and also with your new found singing voice that you secretly have been wanting to step into all along :)

*Please be aware that you will not have to be a singing/voice student to take these lessons. In case you may be concerned, you will ...
