Music Lessons in Coatesville, PA. It's your time.

In my lessons I strive to make the maximum progress possible, while also having as much fun as possible. This is accomplished by imparting the most valuable, useful, and beneficial information in a fun and relaxed, low pressure environment, always with the students goals and priorities first and foremost. I also like to keep the student challenged at their current ability level.

For beginning students I stress basic fundamentals, just as you would in sports. It makes progress come at a much faster clip and avoids making time consuming corrections later. The longer you play with bad habits, the harder they are to break.

For more advanced students, I assess their current abilities, determine if any problems need to be addressed, and with their goals in mind, come up with the proper plan of action.

Having been self taught till entering college I understand all ends of the spectrum. In my career I have come across three separate groups of musicians:

1) Those who have good ...

Confidence development, self-assurance

Performance manners, preparation

How to cope with anxiety and stage fright

I have access to the Percussion Studio at the University of Delaware where we have several kinds of percussion instruments that provide a rare and unique experience for the average student. I have 3 years of teaching experience and currently teach the percussion section in a high school marching band. I can help prepare for marching band, All State auditions, College auditions, and developing technique for a personal repertoire.

I started my singing career at the prestigious Hanns Eissler University in Berlin, Germany where I studied jazz and classical style along with direct training from David Lee Brewer (Beyonce's vocal coach). I also studied advance vocal techniques while working with Daryl Simmons (Babyface's "Silent Partner") on various records and studio projects. I received a "Gold Record" for Pop Music in Europe. I also taught vocals at “JPat Records” (Usher’s mom’s label in Atlanta) under Michi Robinson’s Artist Development Program. My voice clients include beginners, intermediate and notable recording artists. I'm very patient and thorough with my students and try to make the sessions lively but focused as well.

I provide lessons in a laid back environment with a unique approach catered to every student. I have ten years of playing experience and a heart for teaching. Students will learn at their own pace. I can integrate any style of music into your lessons and teach you to play some of your favorite songs once you reach the level required to play them properly. I look forward to meeting you!

I have over 20 years of experience playing as a professional musician. I teach students piano performance techniques for classical and jazz. Students are taught how to read music, chord and scale theory, improvisation, and how to play by ear.
