Music Lessons in New Lebanon, OH. It's your time.

Piano is one the best instruments to learn when you approach music, because you can see how music actually works physically under your fingers more than any other instrument. Playing piano is not Rocket Science, I can teach you to play easier and faster than you would think. Within the first 2 lessons you will be playing simple chord structures of a song that you choose. My goal is to customize your lessons around your learning styles and musical preferences. I've played piano for over 30 years in the studio and touring all over the US, Mexico, and Central America. I can teach you how to play with seemingly effortless technique, how to create unforgettable piano parts, how to improvise solos, and bring thunderous energy into your playing venues! I look forward to speaking with you soon

I specialize in teaching beginning piano, and the vast majority of my students are beginners. All of my piano students use Nancy and Randall Faber's Piano Adventures series, which has adapted versions for very young learners, older beginners, and adult learners. Students will have music theory and history incorporated into every lesson, and will usually have a homework assignment incorporating these as well. Once a student has mastered the basics, I will introduce classic literature appropriate to his or her level. I encourage all of my piano students to participate in OMEA Solo and Ensemble contest when they reach the appropriate age and skill level.

My Vocal Coaching exists to train & equip influential artists to encourage & inspire others through music. I provide both vocal coaching & songwriting classes. All training is taught through a biblical perspective, with the purpose of impacting the world for Christ.

I aim to focus on the fundamental aspects of solid horn playing no matter the age or skill level of the student. I have a very diverse experience to draw from in my own life and generally want to pass on the love of this instrument to anyone else who might want it. I am happy to continue to work on anything already being practiced or assign exercises and pieces I think will be helpful to grow the student’s understanding of music and flexibility and musicality on the horn.

I have experience teaching students from beginner to advanced ages 4+. This is a fun instrument especially for kids to start with as they progress through their musical journey.

As a music therapist, I am both a fully trained therapist and a fully trained musician. I play the guitar, the piano, and I sing; additionally, I use music and music theory concepts in my work every day. My training and experience help me stand out in that I am not your typical music teacher! I have training and experience in adapting musical concepts to maximize understanding for my students/clients, working with those who have special needs and/or exceptionalities, and setting students/clients up for success.

I teach using a strengths-based approach, meaning I assess and utilize my student's strengths and learning styles when introducing and teaching content. I adapt lessons and teaching strategies to meet each student where they are, which sets them up for success.
