Music Lessons in Belews Creek, NC. It's your time.

Get ready for a great experience! I've been playing guitar for over 11 years. I have played lead guitar in contemporary worship teams and lead worship for a short time. I offer a structured, easy to learn course for beginners to intermediate players. I have a love of playing and it is my hope to encourage and motivate others to have that same love for guitar. I can teach a wide range of styles from rock, blues and country. You will also learn chords, scales, picking techniques, and more! You will have a firm foundation and I will get you ready to play in no time flat. I can also guide you in amplifiers and pedals should you like the electric approach.

I am currently earning a post-baccalaureate certificate in Music Theory at University of North Carolina, Greensboro. I am especially fond of aural skills and ear training, though I am quite well-versed in college level music theory across disciplines.

Come one, come all! Time to learn the guitar! If you have been playing for many years and want to break out of a rut, or if you just got your first guitar and suspect that there is a better way to learn than trying to sort through the haphazard offerings on youtube, I welcome you. Sign up for a lesson and come on over. I think we will have fun and you be happy to find yourself learning to play this great instrument. Stick around and you will be surprised at how far you can take it.

I have played violin for the past 18 years and received my Bachelor of Arts in Music at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. I am currently a graduate student at Boston University. I think the most important part of violin playing is having fun and enjoying what you do, so I really emphasize this in my teaching. I also think it is important that we use our bodies well and avoid playing related pain, so my teaching focuses on getting players into a comfortable position with their violin. I have taught all ages, and am great teaching in the beginning stages when everything feels new and difficult!

As an advanced player in High School, I started teaching the upright double bass to younger HS students who asked me for private lessons for their Nyssma auditions or to get better. My students all not only aced their auditions after our intensive lessons, but went on to music conservatories to study the double bass in their own right. I like to think I had something to do with sparking their love and developing their innate talent as my own early teachers did for me. I loved teaching then and I still love to pass on that spark so that this instrument will never be left without well-studied, talented double bassists. I have a double degree in Bass Performance & Music Education from the Eastman School of Music under the esteemed virtuoso and professor, James VanDemark. Whether you are a beginner/intermediate or advanced student of the Double Bass, I can help you reach that next level.

I am an experienced teacher of 10 years, specializing in beginning, intermediate and advanced violin, piano and viola lessons. I have a BM, MM and Professional Studies certificate in violin performance from Cleveland Institute of Music. All ages are welcome. Lessons are customized to meet the needs and goals of each student. You will learn how to play violin, viola or piano with proper posture, play many songs, and you will be building a strong foundation of note reading, music theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, and more. Looking forward to meeting you soon.
