    Start your journey into music by learning the piano.

    The piano is the most versatile instrument of them all. If you're young (or not so young) and wanting to study music but aren't sure where to start, the piano is ideal. Basic technique doesn't take long and you will be playing tunes in no time, but you can spend a lifetime mastering the instrument. I have experience using well-known method books like Faber, Bastien and Alfred. If you want to be able to learn your part as a singer, to better utilize the best tool there is for understanding music theory or get started on your path to the concert stage, I will do my best to help you. If you only have an electronic keyboard at home, that's fine. The best option is one that has a "weighted action" because it will respond more like the real thing.

    Mr.Cameron is a great teacher. He helps me get better at violin everyday. We work on music that I’m working on in school and we work on fundamentals that are necessary at getting better at the violin. I personally would recommend Mr. Cameron very highly especially for the violin.

    Cameron has so much knowledge to share. I am an adult and brand new to violin. He taught me so much about the violin, music history, reading music and so much more. I am thankful to have had him as my teacher to keep me motivated and accountable to pursue the violin. He his very talented and paid great attention to posture and sound to make sure I developed good habits with the instrument. Thank you again!
